For reasons I can't explain, my bungie account isnt my real account name, so I was wondering if I can change it. In a similar question, if I can't, can I transfer my account because it is currently connected on xbox.com

Why do people in ship mutinies always ask for "better treatment"? I'd ask for a pinball machine, because with all that rocking back and forth, you'd get a lot of free games.

Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

No, you can not.

You can however, make a new account and let this one die.

In the right side of the forum there is a Top Forum topic on how to rredo your gamertag linking also.

And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of the World. The moon was blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

I don't see why 4 people need to say "no".

yea i agree with u

When you made an account on Bnet you agreed that all your rights will be taken away here. You got to choose a name. If you somehow knew that you would be keeping this account, then you should have thought about a name that you knew you'd like forever. I would speculate that the reason you can't change your name is because there would be a problem of identities and who was who originally. Learn to like your name. It's permanent.

Your only option is to create a new account and then link your current GT to that account instead. The latter is a pretty simple procedure.

Ahh, I see what you did thar.

Bungie.net is not associated with Microsoft and therefore have different rules. A gamertag is different from a Bnet name. You can change your Gamertag because Microsoft lets you. This is different than from Bungie.

Hello.

If you really would like to change your name, you need to make a new account. This is the best way to get some sort of a name change.

Of course, there are risks.

Hello.

Well, its a good thing Bungie doesn't let us change our account name. It helps us identifiy people better, because most people know you for your name. Like for me, most people know me as "Goodeye".

But, if you really want to change your name, the only suggestion I can think of is to just make a new account.

Sorry.
