Keep in mind I'm not trying to complain, I'm just speaking my mind.

I've been on XBL since Halo 2. I'm only 16 by the way so I guess I was an annoying kid back then. When the 360 came out I got a new gamertag called ankor66. I didn't really like it because of the 66 at the end. I didn't change it though because I thought it was a waste of MS points. But after about 3 years I had a bunch of spare MS points and I changed my gamertag to prozeyic.

I'm satisfied with that gamertag and don't think I'll ever change it. But now my name on Bungie.net is still ankor66 which I don't really like.

I know it's not a big deal and ti doesn't really bother me that much. But I think there should be a way to change your username on this site.

Thoughts?

No.

It's your own fault, they said before you made your user name, make sure it is unique. And you did so. You can't change it. I don't think something like this will be implemented, it just will mess with the organization of the system and there will be too m,any people changing user names.

I took the time to think of my gamertag and then I made a bungie.net profile. It wouldn't matter if there was such a system made I would stick with what I got because a lot of people know me with this account.

So, overall, there is no way for this too work on the site.

Hey, I said I was just speaking my mind. I don't' expect them to implement a system like that. I was like 12 when I made this account though so I didn't really think things through.

Yax is a shining beacon in these dark times. You should all strive to be more like Yax.

Yeah, they could make you pay for it or use bungie points or give you one free change per account (as long as the account is x many years old), etc.

Of course it isn't really necessary, and I don't care for the idea myself, but I think they could easily set something up.

As long as you're willing to give up your title, you can still just make a new user account and link your gamertag to it.

I'm fairly certain that Bungie doesn't want you to change your username so as to not confuse anyone, to make it easier to familiarize with you and to keep a track of the precious data.

I definitely don't want to give up my title. I've been an active member for like 4 years.

Still no Heroic though :'(

Well, that's the price you'd have to pay. It's a very fair and circular price, if you ask me.

If you skimmed the rim of legendary enough for your title to change, I'm sure you aren't as far from it as you think.

There once was an ugly barnacle. He was so ugly that everyone died.

The end.

No, you can't change your username. Your only way s to create a new account. If you really could care less about your title, then thats the best and only option.

I know your pain OP. I just want a god damn capital letter at the start of my username...


It's so so so so so irritating to look at.

  • 12.11.2011 4:38 AM PDT

If Bungie ever bring back Bungie Pro, I hope we could use it to change our username, but only once.

I want to capitalise the A in my username, at least.

If it's just a capitalisation you want, it could be worth PMing Achronos. I do believe he's done it before for people (not just mods).

I am also speaking my mind. You did say, "Thoughts?"

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

I was waiting for your response, Bryce. And by the way, you're not. I really wish I could change my username though. Stereotypical 12 year old name: Check.

I feel you, man.

I think it'd be cool if they let you change your username once. (NOTE: Keep in mind that all posts authored by you would have the name changed as well, so the whole "trolls would change it and get away with spamming" argument is invalid.)

Dianna Agron is the epitome of perfection.

Quinntology.

Originality for the win. I have never added numbers or extra letter to my gamertag. However, this is my old account and the XBL gamertag associated with it is expired so I wouldn't mind if I could change this.

But overall I'm happy.

And as always, SEND ME A PM. Please. Or really bad things will happen to you.

I would change this account name so fast.
