    Gamertag change question


    Hi, I want to change my gamertag, but is not really changing it, I just want to put it all in lowercase aside from the first letter. I know this is done with the "gamertag change" option, but if I try to make a new account with my gamertag in lowercase,
    it says is in use, so I was wondering, if I try to change it, it would say the same. I don't want to waste my money or paying twice to changing it to something different and then changing it back.

    I hope is not too confusing, thanks in advance.

    :)

    Gamertag change question.

    Is it at all possible to change my gamertag from to ? Obviously it is considered the same gamertag and therefore it says 'gamertag already exist' if I try to change it. However, since I own the gamertag and all I want to do is
    capitalize the B and W, is there any possible way I can do so?

    hmm gt are not case sensitive so if you want to get the desired gt you would need to pay for 2 changes.. one to something different to your current gt.. then the one that you want hope this helps.

    actually the system does not recognize the difference between caps and no caps space and no spaces so SYLAR, Sylar, and sylar are considered the same tag so if you tried to change it to one of those variations the system would not let you cause you are changing
    it to a tag with the same letters.

    because if I do lowercase letters on searching my gamertag it comes up with my own. so sadly no. (even though I search with out the number at the end it comes up with another person that only has 40 Gpoints)

    To clarify better the question....

    First davemcfly85 already clear your doubt if you put Sylar, SYLAR or sylar for the system is the same gametag and don´t make the change!!!

    Whif the changes did because Xbox One you have only two options...

    1. you can share your real name for parents and close friends find you; (if you didn´t put that, go to your account control and change there), doing that costs Zero, nada, niente, U$$ 0, has no adicional cost and you can chose the way you can share that
    in xbox.com or Xbox One (in 360 that option don´t work well to day...).

    2. You will pay a gametag change and put a simbol (not a ofensive one please!) in the front of your "new name" like that - Sylar -, or *sylar* , doing that the system will acept like a new name

    I hope i have helped you and sorry my bad english, it´s self learnerd.

    Thanks for your answers guys.

    I guess I'll just keep my gt as it is. I don't want to pay for the 2 changes, and its not really that important.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the answer. How long would it take do you think?

    Are we talking days? Months?

    How long did it take for you?

    [/quote]It was awhile ago but it must have been less than an hour.

    So I have 2 Xbox live gamertags. Let's call the Gamertag A and Gamertag B. Gamertag A has the name I want and Gamertag B has all my friends, achievements, etc. If I am willing to pay 800 points and change gamertag A's name to something different,
    does that free up that name which I could then change Gamertag B to?
    If anyone that knows for sure or has done it before I would really really appreciate it. Thanks!

    [/quote]In short, yes. You'll have to pay 800 points to free up the name on gamertag A, and another 800 to change Gamertag B to Gamertag A. I've done this before. It may not be instant that the name becomes available again, however.

    nope nothing can be done if it is not selectable then it is not selectable your just gonna have to create a more creative tag FYI tags are also used for windows live PC games as well as Zune and Xbox live.

    Gamertag change question.

    Thank you both for the helpful responses. Had i been able to find these in the rules i could have saved you both time in reading this long rant/post. It would be hoo of the xbox team to incorporate a more detailed gamertag. It has been a while since i thought
    of attempting to change my tag so i suppose the changes regarding symbols was a new piece of info. Thank you again.
