Need some help! I changed my Gamertag while I was an Insider not realizing it shortened the...

I think they should not shorten the characters and leave everything be. Some things don't need changes, the whole gamertag situation is one of those things. Emojis is a terrible idea, in my opinion. To each their own, though.

I’ve had the same gamertag for years now. I decided to change it, so I could have my YT channel name in it, and I didn’t realize those number by the name would show up inside of the game?

If you really are getting harassing messages on live then block communications with the person sending them & file a complaint via your console.You can even set comms to friends only.

If you want to change your gamertag then you will have to pay like everyone else,you will not get a free gamertag change.

Thanks for the help, my first thought was I'd just have to shorten my password, I just couldn't be bothered changing it and hoped there was something else I could do.

Please don't make multiple posts for the same issue since you were answered in the last forums post

You will have to pay for the name change

The enforcement team is different from customer support the more practical person to change your name would be support but as they do not have the power like the guy said you cannot

Live life and play fair
