    Gamertags?


    So I really want the gamertag "Wicked" because my gt has been "" for like 3 years and I just want wicked. But it said it's taken, but the account that has it has not been on xbox live for literally like 10 years. Is there anyway Microsoft can
    remove that gamertag from the account?

    :)

    Hi,

    there is no way, to remove a gamertag from an existing account.

    The gamtertag is bound to an account which might be in use.

    Gamertags are used on other services,not just xbox live so you don't know that it's not in use.

    If it says the gamertag is taken then thats it,there's nothing you can do.

    Gamertags?

    Yeah, i have the same problem i wanted a Gamertag which hasn't been signed in for year's.

    I heard that people either be selfish and create an account with a wanted Gamertag or sell them which i think isn't fair at all and i think that Xbox should reset all of the unused accounts that:

    1. Hasn't been signed in for like 10 years

    2. Has nothing at all eg. No reputation / Empty friends list / No bio or anything

    3. Just an empty account

    I know this does't help, it's just my opinion.

    Hello Wicked RecKs and Fusion Shox!

    -

    A this time, it is not possible to obtain an inactive gamertag by any means. This can only be done by high tier agents for specific reasons, which do not include simply "wanting" a gamertag. I can't get you answers, but I can link you to a similar thread
    where a response was given by an Official Support member. Also, you should follow the link posted to the Xbox Live Wishlist/Feedback thread and make a post there. Here's the post, please don't reply to it as it is from September 2013:

    forums.xbox.com/.../3966363.aspx

    Maybe we'll see a policy change sometime in the future. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

    Unable to change gamertag

    I'm trying to change my classic gamertag which is the one you see in games. My classic gamertag got changed and my Xbox One and Xbox App gamertag stayed the same (the Xbox One gamertag is the ones they added with the new gamertag system).

    My Xbox One gamertag is different to my in-game gamertag and I want my classic gamertag to be changed. You can only change your classic gamertag on the Xbox One console, I have tried using the other ways and you can only change your Xbox Gamertag, not your
    classic gamertag.

    The reason I want to change my classic gamertag is that the classic gamertag can be fifteen characters and the Xbox One gamertag can only be 12 characters. If I use the other ways to change my gamertag it limits me to 12 characters and sets both my gamertags
    to that.

    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    .

    How to take off classic gamertag

    The double gamertag is by design, as they transition over to the new gamertag system. Not all games will display the new gamertag system and as stated, your old gamertag will be displayed on 360 backwards compatible games. Any gamertag you create yourself,
    is a custom gamertag.

    Screwed up on my gamertag

    These are the steps in order to change your gamertag.

    1 On your console, sign in using the Xbox LIVE gamertag

    2 Go to Social, and then select your gamertag.

    3 Select Change Gamertag.

    4 Select Enter New Gamertag.

    Once you enter or select a new gamertag, select Yes, use this gamertag.

    Gamertag change

    The gamertag system doesnt recognize things such as spaces or capitalizations in gamertag as making it unique. For example the gamertag system would look at "Gamertag" and "GaMeR TaG" as being the same.

    In this case the gamertag "BierBuikBarry" is already in use as the gamertag "BierBuik Barry" with a space which is why it says "BierBuikBarry" is already taken. You would have to wait for "BierBuik Barry" to be inactive on all Microsoft services with that
    gamertag for 5 years (starting in 2016) for the gamertag "BierBuik Barry" to be reset which would in turn free up the gamertag "BierBuikBarry" to be used. That would be the only way to get that gamertag.
