    Hi IDIOTIC. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

    Thank you for posting on the Xbox Communities Forum. Unfortunately, as the new gamertag system only supports 12 characters, you won't be able to revert to your previous gamertag. You will have to choose a different name for your Xbox profile. I apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.

    Thanks,
    Kyle

    Can I get my old gamertag back

    Without a doubt that gamertag would be flagged as offensive, You won't be able to get it back and to change your current assigned gamertag you would need to pay $10, Theres no way around the gamertag change fee after a forced gamertag change.

    Question about my account on the Xbox (Beta) PC app

    Hi, after you create your account Microsoft randomly assign to you a gamertag (in this case RepairedBacon40), then you are able to change it as you want for free (in this case you choose Ejder), but for some days the old gamertag remain still visible in
    your account...

    This is to let other players to still recognize you after the GT change (even if you have just created your account this is a standard procedure...)

    Simply wait some days and that randomly assigned GT will disappear

    Gamertag Refund

    A forced Gamertag change automatically assigns a new Gamertag to the account, much in the same way a system-generated Gamertag is provided when you first sign up for Xbox Live.

    If a player is unhappy with the assigned Gamertag and wishes to change it, he or she may purchase a new Gamertag through the

    standard Gamertag change process
    .
