    How do I customize my classic gamertag?


    The "Customize classic gamertag" option is not showing for me and I want to change my classic gamertag. How do I do this? From what I have read, the customize classic gamertag option should show on social.xbox.com , but it doesn't show for me. I want to change my normal xbox name to Destroyer#1618 and my classic gamertag to Destroyer1618

    I am linking 2 screenshots. The first is a screenshot I found on a Microsoft forum that clearly has the customize option (for the classic), and the second screenshot is from my computer, clearly not showing the customize option. My goal here is to get the customize option so that I can customize my classic gamertag.

    1st screenshot (not my computer, found on forums, shows customize option) vvvvv

    Second screenshot (from my computer, does not show customize option) vvvvv

    All help is appreciated, I have called and spoken with a representative (no help there), and have chatted with a representative online (also no help there), so I appreciate everything. Thank you.

    :)

    How do I customize my classic gamertag?

    Hello TheMyth1012,

    According to the Xbox gamertag FAQ | Xbox Support If you make a paid change (your first change with the new system is free), you’re given the option to customize how you’re seen in older experiences that can’t show the new format.

    As for the suffix (# after your name) The suffix is auto-assigned by Xbox to make sure everyone is unique. We don’t allow players to select their own suffix at this time.

    Nothing wrong with that screen

    What you are realizing is that's the limit on how you can customize it

    The hashtag is NOT Chooseablr

    It's randomized to prevent double gamertags

    That being said your only customization options is to have the number together with your name

    That's thenonly custom part

    Your classic name is destroyer1618

    The only custom.part is the name you choose that's it

    As hayabusa mentioned

    The classic gamertag you are referring to is how your name is displayed on older games destroyer1618 as in your example

    Your new gamertag would be destroyer#1618

    As per the new system

    The reason being is older games don't support symbols

    So the classic gamertag is destroyer1618

    How do I customize my classic gamertag?

    I don"t have the option to customize, thats what I need. Did you read my original post?

    I know that I cant do anything about the hashtags but I want to customize the classic one

    How do I customize my classic gamertag?

    So if I change my name once for the free change, and again for the $10 change, the $10 change will show the customize option?

    How do I customize my classic gamertag?

    Yes, that's how it should work.

    I suggest if you want to do so, use a temporary name to change to for the free change, because I don't think you can solely change the classic name without changing your main gamer tag as well.

    For example, for the free change don't use "Destroyer" if that is what you plan to use.

    Just remember that your in-game name may vary depending on the title.

    Let me know how it goes.
