Reserved Gamertag

Juice Leeroy6 · Apr 3, 2015

As the title says, this is about a reserved gamertag. I had originally tried to get Juice Leeroy, but it said that it was reserved. I was wondering if there was anyway that the name could be revived faster. Since the revival program started in 2011, it would
seem that the J's would be done, but they are not. Any help to get this resolved would be awesome. I tried talking to a support rep, but they cannot do anything on their end, so they told to me to post in the forums.

If anyone is interested in the link for the survival program it is here. Xbox LIVE Gamertags go zombie and rise from the dead

Unfortunately, they will not release a gamertag upon request. If it's not being used, it'll eventually be freed up. Your best bet is to watch it and wait for this to happen so you can claim it.

Otherwise, there is no way to make it available any sooner.

I'm sorry, but MegaMasterX and MegaMaster X are two different tags, and I get a different message when trying to change my tag to "MegaMaster X".

I called Xbox Support back and am hoping to get some results soon. It's not like I'm trying to take a Gamertag from someone who is actively using it at all.

If it was indeed taken by someone else, wouldn't it show up in search results for Xbox Support's internal tools or on Xbox Live?

It doesn't state that it's unavailable, just that its reserved. I was informed to ask for Enforcement's aid in this by Xbox Support directly.

There is no way to reserve gamertags, as no such specific system exists. All gamertags are on a first-come, first-serve basis. If it has already been taken, you will have to choose another name.

The only way to "reserve" a gamertag is to create a new Microsoft account with that gamertag (if you plan on starting fresh), or pay the fee to change your gamertag on your existing Microsoft account.

Gamertags are released if a user does not log on to their Microsoft account for five straight years, as that is how Microsoft purges inactive accounts from their systems. Some people may not have an Xbox profile, but they still keep their Microsoft account
active through other Microsoft services (email, Office, etc). There is no way to check the remaining time (before termination) of any given account.
