Jack of all trades, master of none.

Just make a new one. If you're changing the username anyway, what's the biggie?

Because I still want to use this E-mail but not have this account open with an E-mail I don't use... Is this possible? I will consider just changing the E-mail.

There is no need to close it (it actually isn't possible), just make a new one. You will need to use a different WLID, but you might be able to use Passport.net to change the email with your current account so you can use it with your new account.(I say might, I have done it before, but I don't know how it decides if you can do it).

Ok thanks a lot... Also, is there a way I can disassociate my WLID with this account? Please it's a must.

You have to use a different email.

You cannot deactivate or delete your Bungie.net account. You cannot change the Windows Live ID associated to your Bungie.net profile, however, you can change the email address of your Windows Live ID if it is not a Microsoft domain (hotmail.com, live.com, msn.com).

http://account.live.com/ChangeId.aspx

If you decide to create a new Bungie.net profile, you'll most likely want your gamertag linked to it. To do this, change the Windows Live ID associated to your Xbox LIVE gamertag to the same Windows Live ID you use to sign into your Bungie.net profile. If the same Windows Live ID is associated to a Bungie.net profile and Xbox LIVE gamertag, the two become linked. You may visit this page for more information.

By doing it online you can change a whole ton of stuff including the WLID you log in with and all.

Even though it says "Change" next to your Windows Live ID, you're simply changing the email address of the Windows Live ID, thus changing the logon credentials that you use to sign into your Bungie.net profile. The Windows Live ID (Unique ID) cannot be changed so the same Windows Live ID account will always be associated to your Bungie.net profile, unless Bungie changes their logon system. What I mentioned in my post above is correct.

No, the only way is to create another email.

You've basically sold your email's soul for your current bnet account.

One does not simply close their Bungie.net account...
