Yes, before you read, I did read the sticky on it but none that helped me with this.

Ok, so here's the lowdown.

BNet Account: NessDan
BNet Login for NessDan: N3s5D4n@hotmail.com
*My XBL Gamertag was linked to N3s5D4n@hotmail.com

Now, I decided to get a live passport because, well, it's easier to type =P. So I swapped what e-mail it was linked to.

So now, my XBL Gamertag NessDan is connected to NessDan@live.com. The thing is though, I can't sign into the BNet forums as NessDan using NessDan@live.com! Every time I try, it asks me to make a new account, I could do that but I have this fetish that I need to have my nickname as an account name, and when I put in NessDan, it says it's being used (it's on BNet and I can log into it by using N3s5D4n@hotmail.com). But when I do log in, it says my Gamertag isn't linked! I don't want it to be linked to N3s5D4n@hotmail.com though...

Gah, I'll try to make this image explain it...


If there was some way I could change my BNet Account's(NessDan) login e-mail to NessDan@live.com, that'd fix everything.

So I guess if anyone can tell me how to do the bold, that'd be great xD!

You cannot change your email address that is used for logging into your Bungie.net account NessDan because it is a Hotmail account. Therefore, if you must have NessDan@live.com associated with your Xbox Live gamertag NessDan and also want it to be linked to a Bungie.net account, you must create a new account. Also, because you already have NessDan as a Bungie.net display name, you obviously can't choose that for your new account. I would suggest making your new Bungie.net display name Ness Dan or something similar. If you must have your gamertag the same as your login because of whatever reason, perform a gamertag change to the name you choose for your new Bungie.net account.

Ok, thanks.

I'll probably go with my alternative N3s5D4n ;D
