Some things in this World you just can't explain; but that doesn't mean they are any less true, just that you have to chose to believe in them.

One, two, Pinkie's... Coming for you...

Hello everyone, I've come today with a problem which I need help solving.

Today on Bungie, I made another account which goes by the name "Pinkamena", the reason I've done this is because I've grown quite bored of my current name, and I wanted to change it.

I signed the account up, but it then said it was linked to an Older Xbox live account of mine, so I looked into how to un-link an Xbox live account, and found that if I delete the Windows Live account that Xbox account is linked to, I'll be able to un-link that GamerTag, and make room for my current tag.

Now this is where the problem comes in, when I attempt to sign in with my Pinkamena account, it says it does not exist. When I try to sign in with the previous Email on Windows Live, it says it also doesn't exist. But the account is still there. And I cannot access it.

Could somebody help me? Perhaps a Mod even?

You must've signed up with an old WLID that is linked to an old gamertag... You've put yourself in quite the pickle indeed.

I'm having no problems with that.

The problem is my ability to access the Pinkamena Profile in general.

And yes, yes I have.

smart, interesting, seems out of place.


Official fan of Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, (Problem with that?) Halo, and Bungie, also a total gaming junkie.

1: What happened to your gamertag brah?

2: Looks like your SOL.

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

Just as an FYI, the mods (or even the employees for that matter) will be about as much help as us. Microsoft is the controller with ID's and log-ins. Luckily, I've had my fair share of WLID frustration, and unfortunately I have bad news for you....

Microsoft support is garbage, they're the ones that borked you - by deleting the WLID that deleted the "main" account we log into B.Net with. Your only solution (that I'm aware of) is make a new one.

You could try emailing them, but I honestly don't think they could do anything at this point.

Couldn't one of the Mods delete my account so I can re-sign it with another Email?

Nope, us common peeps - even the most trusted of us - aren't able to. You could try contacting Achronos in a PM, but don't be too surprised if he turns you down.

This seems like a rare case where he might actually delete your account because -- although it's not completely necessary -- you need to have this one deleted in order to access your other one.

The mods can do nothing. They're rather stupid, actually. Especially Foman.

A Bungie employee could, but if you're talking about a "Forum Ninja" then no, they could not. They're technically just like the rest of us.

I'm sending a letter to the Boss now, hopefully he can fix this mess.

And who would the "boss" be?

Just want to make sure you're contacting the right person.

No - he doesn't. The problem is that Bungie has a "slot" for the account which was deleted on Microsofts end - resulting in a literal dead account.

How rude.

Good luck. Achronos says he reads all his PMs, so if he's interested, he'll shoot you one back. If that doesn't do it, you can always PM runningturtle, but he hasn't been on in two weeks almost.

Oh, I misread the thread... so he'd have to have the other account deleted and then remake it. Gotcha.

Good luck OP.
