On hiding dead bodies:

Inside another dead body. It's the last place they'll look
A corpse within a corpse.
CORPSEPTION.
Win.

Figuratively speaking, at least.

You can probably guess why I'm asking.
What are my options for a name change? I don't think I've curried enough favour with the Mighty Achronos, somehow, so my only real choice is going to be a new account, if I decided I do want to change it.

If I abandoned this account and got a new one, would I be able to switch the WLID of this and the new account (so same login details), and still be able to re-link my gamertag? Or would I have to wait for one-year's inactivity on the old account to pass for its auto-deletion before I'd be able to re-link?

Plus, the main issue is, I'd abandon all my trust points and be reset to zero, which is the main reason I've not bothered with this before.

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.

It could only be a finite amount of changes because then people could spam or whatever and change their name so people could not figure out who they are.

OP - You're a dumbass with the reading comprehension skills of a second grader.


Can someone tell me what's wrong with these two, this made me LOL hard.

I like my account age on this account, which is why I just want to get rid of the rank and just have "Kyuun". I think it should be reserved to people that Achronos really trusts though or someone who is known throughout the community as a nice person.

Not sure you actually understood the OP.

You can change your account name if the A-man does it for you. That's pretty much your only option, and besides your isn't that bad, look at mine.

You have to go through a long and overlycomplicated process but yes you can unlink and relink your gamertag.

Overall my idea is that you should send a request.
And then wait.
Then if you are allowed to then you can if not then you have no right to. These should be allowed once in a year, and their former names could be added to their title.

You can relink it to another account, but it can be a hassle. I would say try messaging Achronos and hope for the best!

It's not that complicated.

But yes, it's possible to link your current Gamertag and WLID under a new Bungie.net account. You will just have a new join date and start over.

Well, the PM has been sent.

Now, cue several days of waiting with fingers crossed :3

And if not, I'll probably go with the other option and just abandon this account in favour of a new one, lol.

I’m drawing circles don’t you know, protect the seed that wants to grow
To a garden, pardon my territory

Does it cost BUNGIE money to change a account username? or is there more than just a couple of buttons to use in order to change a username.

Still better than you.

.....most of you, at least.

Just make a new account, behave well, and you'll earn trust points in now time, because you'll already know what to do, and no-one will actually expect anything from you.

Also, you can link your current GT to a new account, though the process can be tedious.

My account name has been the name of a game and a number for over 9 years. At least you can pretend yours stands for something cool.

I don't know, my name is very childish. I just gotta deal with it.
