Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

As far as I've heard, no ones knows, and it's believed to be impossible. I sent an email the MS support earlier today, I'll let you know if anything comes out of it.

Edit: Thanks to a link from RedPhoenix in another thread, I just found out that there may be a way. The applicable paragraph:

5.2 "Unlinking" Your Xbox Live Gamertag

What happens if you accidentally used a different Windows Live ID at Xbox.com and at Bungie.net? You won't be able to connect your Bungie.net account to your Gamertag, which is a real bummer. The easiest way to fix this dilemma is to go back to Xbox.com and login using your Bungie.net Windows Live ID. When you log in with that new Windows Live ID, you should be able to go through the Gamertag linking process again and attach it to the new account. The only other alternative is to create a new Bungie.net account, using your Windows Live ID that was used at Xbox.com, in which case you'll lose your Bungie.net login and your entire identity. That's a bigger bummer for sure.


Try that, and tell us if it works.

You may always change your Xbox Live gamertag from "dollystawicki" to any gamertag that is available by accessing your Xbox 360 dashboard and selecting your gamertag. From there select Edit Profile, then Edit Gamertag, and perform a Xbox Live gamertag change for 800 Microsoft Points. You are unable to change your Bungie.net display name after creating your account.

Changing your Bungie.net display name is possible, but it requires deep digging into the inner core of Bungie.net and accessing the very heart of the site. The only way to get this changed is to beg the administrators and maybe, just maybe, they'll hear your cries and decide to help. Send an email to [email]bnetbugs@microsoft.com[/email] and explain the situation (be sure to include what your account name is supposed to be). Please note that they hardly ever grant these requests unless there is a real extraordinary reason to.

The latest information from the Xbox Live Technical Support Team is that it is not possible to "unlink" a Windows Live ID once it has been associated with your Bungie.net User Account. If you accidentally screw up during your Bungie.net account creation or decide you want to switch to a different account, there's not much you can do. In most cases, it may be easier to just create a new Windows Live ID and start fresh. If you have any further questions or need any other help, feel free to reply in this thread or send me a private message.
