  1. Getting a gamertag that's taken but not in use?


    I have been wanting this gt since I got xbl a long time ago and it's being used by some inactive account with 0 gamerscore and like 3 friends I heard microsoft releases accounts sometimes but what are the conditions for this? And is there anyone I can contact
    to release that gamertag? I've tried messaging the person with no response and even the active user on the friendlist won't reply. Any insight on this would be amazing Getting a gamertag that's taken but not in use? :)

    :)

    Disappointing. But it still doesn't explain why this site said it was available when it was giving me available suggestions.

    [/quote]Actually, I did. I said those sites can be very inaccurate.

    Getting a gamertag that says it is not taken but is taken

    the only time its says its available is when you try and change the name

    friend requests aren;t how you check it

    it does not cross servers

    and gamertags are used by the other 3 services

    BE creative with your name

    it is that simple add numbers or letters



    friend requests do not check for games for windows or zune names



    but gamertag changes does

    Microsoft cannot and will not release an inactive gamertag because you want it. You'll have to wait until they free up the inactive gamertags. And no one besides Microsoft has any idea when they'll do it.

    Getting a gamertag that says it is not taken but is taken

    The gamertag in question is already taken. If you remove the space between the "avenger" and the "i" the tag is already in use. Putting a space in the tag will not allow you to use it.
