Question caused by this post

Now, everything that's in my head has an 80% chance of being false, so definitely take this all as speculation.

1. From things I've read, I've been under the impression that all usernames are tied to WLID accounts for right now.
2. If we'll soon be able to change our account names, this means that things won't be so heavily tied to WLID, if at all.
3. If there is a transition away from WLID accounts, will we need to recreate our accounts with new Email addresses?
4. If so, Will our current usernames be placed on "hold", or will everything be free game when Bungie.next is released?

I don't think we have to recreate our accounts, but I suppose you are waiting for an employee to post here. I don't know if they'll reveal this stuff yet though..

I doubt we will have to recreate our accounts.

Until Bungie.next is out, the answer to ALL of your questions is "Soon". Considering that's the only answer the give regarding any questions we have these days.

We should know better, because we are better.

I hope we won't have to recreate our accounts/rejoin our groups/relink gamertags/etc. Hopefully, we can just log onto our old accounts without having to redo anything.

DeeJ confirmed a couple months ago that our accounts are going to be quite safe for the transition. I'd imagine that we won't be fully breaking away from WLID, due to the fact that it's the only way to attached our XBL gamertags to our bungie.net profile.

Sure, there will be name changes, but as far as creating a new account, highly unlikely.

This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends,
This is the way the world ends;
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Obviously, none of us know for sure, but I imagine we will keep something from our accounts (join date, trust rating, etc) as DeeJ has hinted several times that veteran members will not be forgotten.
