I just got on to find my GT has unlinked itself from Bungie.net.


EDIT: This has happened to a lot of people.


Just leave it alone for now :)

Well while I was watching a movie i left my computer on. I went to one of my groups and instead of the usual Friends online (8) it said Link you Gamertag. So to try to see what that meant I entered the forums and looked at one of my older posts. I then looked at my profile and next to Gamertag it says none. So what happened? Should i just attempt to link my gamertag? Thank you.

No, it just means that Xbox Live is having difficulty again, and the system failed to grab gamertag info enough times that it unlinked you. As soon as Live fixes whatever caused the failure, the system will relink you on its own.

You can try relinking it. I think you would have to reassociate the Windows Live ID with your Gamertag assuming that you used the same WLID for your B.net account and GT. Not sure as I'm fairly new to this change concept >_>

Good luck finding your answer :)

Should I just re-link it, or will it remedy itself eventually?
Do not do anything right now. Your account will return to normal, but today the site has been acting a little strange. Don't worry about it; if you need to view your statistics use the search feature.

Don't risk re-linking your gamertag just yet. I'm not.

It might be related to the recent problems with the Xbox Live service. I know that I purposefully unlinked mine so I can associate it with the WLID I use to log into Bungie. The problem is I had to swap between 3 different ID's and got to actually trying to link the GT to the proper WLID and it wouldn't let me. So I have to wait 30 days to associate the GT to the proper WLID. So be careful whatever you do.

Trying something once will increace your chances of success, because you tried it. Try someting twice, and your chances increase yet again - seeing as you've done it. Try something a few thousand times, and your chances of success is exponentially increased; this increase would likely provide success every time

MSN is your friend Azn. TGP is comin'.

To actually contribute, this is a problem with the Xbox Servers, as far as I can tell. Major Nelsons gamertag even unlinked from his website. It is either the servers problem, or something is going on the Windows Live ID's.

None the less, I agree with Cryptic, do not attempt to relink it.

Me too. Sad. :(

Xbox Live with fix itself. I recall my tag unlinking once before, it relinked.

Edit: I notice it still shows up when I highlight my avatar, just not up top. Sweet-sauce.

Edit 2: Spoke too soon. It's gone. :(

Don't Azn, that will just cause more trouble. If possible, just walk away from the threads, since they obviously don't exactly need reporting. But if you must, report it, then leave. Playing forum cop will not only bump the thread, but be spam in itself.
