I've noticed that there's lots of og accounts that are a dupe account, but the og name is taken by a unmigrated account so its an old account that has had the username for a longtime.

And I noticed people where taking unmigrated account names during 5/2/18 - 5/3/18 the usernames that were taken those days were:

Amber
Shaft

There was way more accounts that are more og that were taken those days and were and all of them are duped account but the first account to have the username was an unmigrated account this makes no sense.

Can someone tell me what happened or if there is a method for taking unmigrated accounts igns?

During a few days in early May 2018, a lot of unmigrated accounts got deleted from the database completely. NameMC still had them cached, but if you queried them via Mojang's API, nothing would come up. The names were available and we all thought Mojang was beginning to delete unmigrated accounts in batches.

During the following Monday, we noticed all the original unmigrated accounts were back. We later found out that someone at Mojang made a mistake and accidentally deleted all these accounts and it got reverted. We found this out because someone claimed one of those names on that day and contacted Mojang support about an unrelated account issue. Mojang replied and then said something like "I also noticed that your username was the result of an error on our side and I have reverted it to what it was before."

So basically if anybody with one of these names tries to contact support, it'll get reverted.
