    I have a unique gamertag but I still have numbers


    I had an old account that had the gamertag I used everywhere but I forgot the password for that so I thought I would just settle for one with the numbers. So I changed my name to the username, but then I figured out how to get into my old account and I
    changed that username, so that the numbers on the new account would go away. I'm now the only one with this username, but I still have the numbers. Even if I tried changing it, it says I already have the tag. So will the numbers go away sooner or later on
    it's own?

    :)

    The numbers won't fall off.

    How to chose my own gamertag ID?

    Hi there,

    as far as I know, this is not possible, the numbers will make the Gamertag unique and are automatically generated, the Gamertag (without #0000) does not have to be unique anymore.

    My gamertag is unique but I still got the numbers at the end

    I definitely understand. This is how the system works, unfortunately. You can try requesting a refund after the change though but not really a guarantee to get it approved.

    Well that’s just sad because it’s just the same username but without the suffix

    Unfortunately, there is no way around this because the system will recognize that this is no longer the first change of the gamertag which is for free. Each account can only have one free gamertag and the next should already have a charge to change it.
