It has been moved, obviously.

I think the only solution you have is to create a new B.net account, on a new free hotmail address. Let the one you have now die (after a certain amount of time, b.net accounts are deleted) but keep the e-mail account that it is attached to active. After that account is deleted, your gamertag should automatically unlink, and then you can attach it to the new one.

There is no way to change the name of B.net accounts (except by asking Achronos, but he only does it when the name is offensive. Or you're Ninja On Fire and what your name changed to Jeremiah) or the name of an e-mail address.

I think I know what you're asking, yet I don't. Let's say my email address assigned to my Muno account was bob@hotmail.com, but I wanted to have my other email address, bill@hotmail.com, to be the one I use to sign into .NET to access my b.net account. Is that what you are asking? If so, I can't help you. I've wondered the same thing for a year now but always forgot to ask about it. If so, it'd make things easier for me. The email address I use for this site isn't the one I use for my email or Windows Live Messenger, and I'd like to know if it was possible as well.

You can't change the email you use to sign in, but you can change your preferred contact email. My Profile > Update My Settings > second line.

Unless it is very offensive or vulgar will it be changed. The only person who has the power to do that is Achronos. Don't bother even trying to ask he won't do it. Your best bet is to make a new account and let this one get auto deleted.

Skillet was here and referred to himself in the third person.

I had the same question a while back...there is a way to fix it, slightly. I think?

Go to this url and sign in. From there, you might be able to change your e-mail address that is assigned to your entire passport.

I believe you can also delete an account from that site..but not if you have something like MS Points tied to your account. I guess, if you delete the passport ID, you could create the same ID all over again and then create a new B.net account with the selected name and link your GT.

and how long will that take, will that only affect bungie.net? I use this site quite a bit
the account here gets deleted, and my passport is ok to move to a new profile? I dont exactly have any other passport to create another account on here..
I dont want anything changed becides my name here, I dont want my passport changed or anything

I wish achronos would just rename, it would save alot of time/trouble

I've had this account for a long time, since then I have opted to use a universal name, this is the only site left :S

Your account probably gets auto-deleted after about a year of inactivity. Sorry, but I can imagine that Achronos has an extremely large workload in front of him already, what with maintaining and coding the site all day. Unfortunately, there isn't a button that he clicks that says "Click here to solve all of Bungie.net's problems". At least, if there is such a button, I was never issued one for my Web developing and maintenence issues.

It is nearly impossible to get your account name changed, so don't try to. The best thing to do is to create a new account and never use your old account. Your old account will eventually be deleted due to inactivity for about a year or so.
