Make account Name changing free pls!!!!!!!

The free gamertag change was added recently. When you make a new account, it's given a random name and you have the option to change it within 30 days. Accounts made before this new policy will not be given a free name change.

Yes you do, you only get one free name change. You could make another xbox account and get a free name change on that account, however you will lose all of your progress as you will be playing on a different account.

[quote user="afg ninja777"]Im not talking about changing your gamertag after making a new account.

Then what are you talking about? The only time you will ever be given a free name change is when you create a new account. There are no other times you will be given a free name change.

If you're talking about getting a free name change after losing another name to a forced name change, that doesn't happen any more. Once the offensive name is removed from your profile, it's automatically changed to a default
name, which you have to pay to change.

yeah its pretty crappy that xbox charges 800 points for a name change. Ive had xbox live for 8 straight years and that doesn't merit a free name change? seriously??? it makes it even worse that you buy the service in 1 year increments, so you would think
that would equal 1 free name change a year.

by charging people for a name change they are actually giving customers an incentive NOT to renew their account!! that way they can get a new name by simply making a new account.

bad business microsoft. bad business.

Well two things first you already used it

As you already have a custom gamertag when you originally setup your account

2nd only new accounts with randomly generated names without the last 3 years get a free name change only oncr

That doesn't make sense. I didn't use my free name change by naming myself in the first place.

I figured it had to do with the account being old in the anyway.

your first change is the creation of the account with a custom name

Only when you get a random generated name when you first create the account do you get an free name change
