  1. Changes to Gamertag


    I decided to change my gamertag recently and after a few quick clicks on my Xbox it was done. I was so excited about it, but my excitement was very short-lived when my nephew informed me that it didn't appear as I had thought it would. I knew that changing it again would cost, but since it was the first and only time I ever have it was free. When I typed in my desired name and hit enter it didn't tell me that name was taken and then provide any suggestions, as most websites would have. It added the four numbers and told me that it would appear in 2 different ways, and displayed my chosen name with the same given following numbers, in different sizes. It felt implied that the 4 numbers were required as it listed no other alternatives. It didn't mention that it was because I wasn't the only one with my chosen name. I would have chosen a different gamertag if I had known this, especially since this was my one freebie. I feel like it was a waste of my one free name change, which sucks. Please help.

    :)

    Gamer tag

    I received a forced Gamertag change. Can XBLPET let me choose a new Gamertag for free?
    Some rumors give the impression that XBLPET will provide a free Gamertag change to accounts that have received a forced Gamertag change. This is not the case.

    In the past, a forced Gamertag change gave users the opportunity to change the offending Gamertag free of charge. Unfortunately, this gesture was prone to abuse, and many people simply chose new, equally offensive Gamertags. As a result,
    the Gamertag enforcement process changed. A forced Gamertag change now 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

    gamertag change

    Hi there,

    I'm afraid there are no free gamertag changes, if a gamertag was deemed to break the CoC/ToU then you will given a generated one and if you want to change the gamertag into something chosen by yourself it will have the fee like any gamertag change.

    See this link for the steps:
