New Gamertag changes

Any existing gamertag will stay as they are. Nobody is forcing you to change gamertag. The new ones just mean that people wilp be able to have the tag they want and it is a way to increase the amount of available choices of gamertag. Any original gamertag
that nobody else has, will not have numbers associated with it.

I received a forced Gamertag change. Can XBLPET let me choose a new Gamertag for free?
Some rumors give the impression that XBLPET will provide a free Gamertag change to accounts that have received a forced Gamertag change. This is not the case.

In the past, a forced Gamertag change gave users the opportunity to change the offending Gamertag free of charge. Unfortunately, this gesture was prone to abuse, and many people simply chose new, equally offensive Gamertags. As a result,
the Gamertag enforcement process changed. A forced Gamertag change now automatically assigns a new Gamertag to the account, much in the same way a system-generated Gamertag is provided when you first sign up for Xbox Live.

If a player is unhappy with the assigned Gamertag and wishes to change it, he or she may purchase a new Gamertag through the

standard Gamertag change process.

Unfortunately you will not be able to change it back to your previous gamertag. You will need to change it to a new gamertag, unfortunately you will need to pay for the new gamertag.

So recently just changed my Gamertag to "Jade" from "Jyvrn" cause i seen the new gamertag change was live the one that lets you change it to whatever you want but adds an ID number. Why is my ID numbers now present and part of my gamertag ? I hope
this gets fixed because i dont like numbers in my gamertag.

This happened to me me I changed it with social.xbox.com the like a week later i paid 10 dollars on my xbox to change my name to when the change happened it changed back to InSaNiTy
