Subject: Converting to Outlook.com?

I'm planning on converting my current hotmail account to an outlook account. Rename it.

For the most part, it should be quite simple. But when it comes to Bungie.net, I'm not sure.

Does anybody know how Bungie.net will handle the renaming? Will I sign in with the new email address?

As for changing it to outlook you'll be fine but as to changing the name, I'm not so sure about that.

There has been a previous discussion on it. Achronos has commented on it. Check out the thread here.

It will be whatever you sign into Windows Live with. If your conversion changes your WLID to your new email automatically (which it may because it's a Microsoft service) then you'll use the new one.

I was looking for that. I almost went to Bnet regulars to get the link but didn't have to, thanks for the link.

From that same thread:

Explanation for people who are still confused if you change your name.

Let's say my old email name was jose291@hotmail.com made in 2004.

So, I decide to change my name just to j291@hotmail.com
I will still keep @hotmail.com because I am an old account, however if you make a new account today, it will have @outlook.com

When you change your name, outlook will do the rest, to update your email name and still use your old one. It will make you a carpet to keep receiving emails from your old name account at the same time with your new name.

Me, I am getting use to this, I can log to: xbox.com, Bungie and other sites with my new email name and I will log normally as I've all these years.

Even my xbox live profile just got updated with my new email name.
