Ok...I'll cut to the chase:

I had the gamertag "IntrepidMerc420" and this email I'm using (artistofwarfare@yahoo.com) registered under the bungie.net name of "IntrepidMerc420". Everything was working fine on the site...recording my stats.

I changed my gamertag to "GuerillaMerc" and the problem occurred. My Bnet Login still shows me as "IntrepidMerc420" but has me linked to "GuerillaMerc". I decided that I would now be recording new stats under "GuerillaMerc", which I did not want. So I changed my gamertag BACK to the original "IntrepidMerc420". The problem however, is that Bungie.net STILL has my name "IntrepidMerc420" linked with the gamertag "GuerillaMerc".

I've never played a round...nothing with GuerillaMerc. I just want it to go back to how it was...associating IntrepidMerc420 (gamertag) with IntrepidMerc420's existing stats and profile on Bungie.net. I don't want to start new stats. I will note, that I can still pull up stats for "intrepidmerc420" but I cannot get my existing bungie login artistofwarfare@yahoo.com to acknowledge that "IntrepidMerc420" is associated with IntrepidMerc420, not "GuerillaMerc".

I hope that was clear, and not too redundant heh. Anything you can do to help me would be appreciated. I'm not sure that if I continue to go back and play (everything with my xbox live gamertag is as was the last time I played) my stats will continue to just be recorded correctly at bungie.net, even though I can't view my profile correctly. I'm not sure how far the problem would go now...and I really enjoyed your stat tracking process. I even upgraded my account to bungiepro to get more files up on ActiveShare.

Please...anything you can do to help me would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to reply to this same email address (artistofwarfare@yahoo.com) as the best means of contacting me.

Love the game, love the site...just have this little issue right now.

^^^^^

Over and over again, I keep emailing this and posting it on every even remotely applicable forum. Nobody responds other than with basically "don't really know...hmmm" and "good question".

PLEASE can someone PLEASE help me. I can't even play until answered as I don't know if this would exasperate the problem..or if there even is a problem.

There is nowhere else to ask this. I've done so in every possible place. PLEASE. I've spent literally HOURS on the forums now...

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 know, changing the name of your gamertag does not change the gamertag itself. So your stats should all have carried over when you changed your name. And if all you did was change the name of your gamertag, then it should change back eventually. It sometimes takes a while for B.net to catch up.

thank you for your reply. This at least encourages me a little.

So basically you're saying, just ignore what the website has as of now?

It records stats by account name, not gamertag?

P.S. Just for the record, I really appreciate your help. My major concern is that I'll play for another night, day or more and those stats will never be recorded, or recorded to a "gamertag" that doesn't even exist. And I appreciate your help even more after a mod just warned me for "bumping" my own thread, even though you're the first person to come even close to helping in over 3 hours.

The mods can take the time to warn me but they can't take the time to answer the same post they just read (and saw was bumped). Real nice guys...

1) Thank you so much...THIS is the kind of information I've been looking for. I mean really, thank you.

2) To clarify- I never changed anything but the name of the gamertag. I just changed it from IntrepidMerc420 to GuerillaMerc. Then changed it back. I didn't give new account info, I didn't change the billing, nothing. Just the letters of the name changed, and then back. I still sign in with the same WLID which is based off of my email ArtistofWarfare@yahoo.com. This WLID login never changed. ALL I touched was the gamertag's name. That's it.

3) I have a 3month Gold...I just verified this on xboxlive.com. I don't know why it showed silver...it's working as intended though.

4) When I logged into Bungie.net today, I logged in with ArtistofWarfare@yahoo.com. It logged me in as IntrepidMerc420 and NOW it correctly associates my gamertag "IntrepidMerc420" with my account name here. If it's back to acknowledging my correct gamertag...am I all set here? Is everything rectified? Is there no way it would have done this if things were not fixed up?

Again...Not to be sappy, but I thank you so much. I know some will say "who cares about stats?". Obviously, I do and so does Bungie or else they wouldn't have provided us with this service and I wouldn't be here. Thank you for realizing that I really needed this addressed and doing so. I won't forget it.

P.S Added with Edit: I also just used the link to WLID that you provided to verify that I'm using the same WLID. Everything is checking out as identical.

FYI- Since this post...it looks like things have worked out afterall. Games played today are recorded accurately and things have caught up. A few minor issues like all of my best medals being displayed first are still lagged, but believe me...I couldn't care less. I don't have issues with things like that...

I'll keep you updated...
