    Gamertag Release/Not Found


    I have been trying to get a Gamertag for years and years.

    for atleast the last few years when I search for it, it says 'not found

    spoke to a customer service agent who said it's In the hands of the enforcement team to be recycled. how can I go about obtaining the Gamertag?

    many thanks

    :)

    account activity is private info

    They most likely said iits probably a 360 old account and but they couldn't find it because they would've given you the exact spelling so you can find it

    It isn't rocket sciencescience

    And no you aren't allowed to request names as it is not your name and not an on demand service so how much of the correct info are you getting so far?

    You aren't understanding that's what the issue is

    From.ms's own privacy statement

    • Control: We will put you in control of your privacy with easy-to-use tools and clear choices.
    • Transparency: We will be transparent about data collection and use so you can make informed decisions.
    • Security: We will protect the data you entrust to us through strong security and encryption.
    • Strong legal protections: We will respect your local privacy laws and fight for legal protection of your privacy as a fundamental human right
    They will not hand any personal info this includes activity

    I donno why you don't get the part of simple English is it your second language? I can read and listen perfectly yet you cant seem to understand what is said

    One ms agents can't tell you private customer info

    2nd if you can't find the name the agent cannot find the name

    All gamertags are visible

    You can check ms's own forum on gamertags

    If it says it is taken it is taken you just haven't found the exact variation

    Most likely they didn't find it and telling you info

    Because one noone on forums or customer support can give you a name that doesn't belong to you

    That is the first clue that you shouldve noticed

    It is not an on demand service you cannot ask you must wait

    If you can't find the name then you cannot see the activity of an name that doesn't exist in that variation

    So did the agent tell you the exact name?

    If not then that gamertags doesn't exist does it

    If he did search for it

    If you can't guess what he didn't see any accoumts

    And yes the name has to be exact to be found

    Why does it have to be explained to you 3x

    If the system says it exists it exists but not in the exact spelling

    As Xbox said you have to wait

    There is no demand service

    Gamertag Release/Not Found

    If the system says it's taken when you try to take it, then it is in use somewhere on Microsoft servers. You would have to wait for either the original owner to change the tag to something else or if they owner does not sign in for 5 years it will be freed
    up for use. Otherwise, there is no other way to take it. Keep in mind the system doesn't see things like spaces as making a gamertag unique. So while you may look up "gamertag" it may actually be in use as "gamer tag".

    as smwutches mentioned the system does not cognizable the spaces and different caps as different when searching for s name

    But wheb you try and take it it will show up as taken

    You have to be unique you are just going to have to be more creative

    Since a name can have millions of different combinations you are just going to have to figure out another name or wait it out

    Gamertag

    Around two years ago, they released about 1 million gamertags that were from the OG Xbox era and never migrated to 360.

    Shortly after that we found out that gamertags will be released after 5 years of account inactivity.

    Since then, I don't think they've said any more about releasing gamertags.

    It _was_ tried and was found to be a Big Mess, as some of the folks getting old gamertags would try to sell them. So, no more classic gamertags will be released, indefinately.

    Gamertag Changing problem

    Banned gamertags are not removed from the system.



    Microsoft stoped releasing dormant gamertags when it was found people were registering them, then selling them on eBay.



    There is no way for you to obtain a banned or dormant gamertag.
