Spaced version of my gamertag

Hi,

My brother sold his Xbox so I wanted to use his Gamertag because it's better than mine. He can't change it though, it's because of a glitched "spaced" version of his tag exists. For example, if his tag is Example and E x a m p l e exists it's stopping him
changing his tag.

What can I do about the glitched spaced tag? I've been reporting it but nothing happens.

:)

 

Can't change my Gamertag at all..?

Once again an amazing original gamertag is wasted because dream is taken on an inactive spaced version. I just searched it. Its literally sitting there not being used in a spaced version. Please microsoft clean up these inactive spaced gts!!

 

Unreleased Gamertag Request

its shows its released but in reality it is probably blocked by an inactive spaced version. Gamertag will not be usuable imo until the inactive spaced version is removed. Which i think microsoft should remove since the gamertag is being wasted.

 

it's not a glitch

gamertag is the same as g a m ertag

Or Gamer Tag

So basically if you really want to do what you want you must change his name to anything else to free it up and then reuse it

But there is a risk

It could be Min's or hours or days or weeks or months before it is frees up for you to use

 

I know they're the same but that is the problem. There was a glitch to create gamertags that already exist by just adding spaces.

This is the situation:

My brother's tag is: Example

There is also the tag: E x a m p l e

I've searched both and they are different accounts that show up.

So I'm wondering how to get the glitched spaced version created after my brother's tag reset.

 

no it shows up the same

Regardless

If you try and take the name it is still there even though it's not

Example will be the same as Exampl e

Regardless of how you spell it

It's not a glitch

You cannot have the same spelling

Meaning if you try and take ExamPle but example or ex Ample exist it will say it exists because it does as ExamPle

You can'tuse any name tha tis similar

 

it's not glitched

You just understanding how it works

You must wait for the name to be freed up exam ple has to wait till you free up the name since you freed it you must wait till the system resets

Which cna be 48 hours instant or 3 years for all you know

It's a.gamble

 

Check your PMs, and search for the gamertags yourself. There is two differently spaced tags of my brother's tag. I'm not mistaking this, it's not difficult. I have changed tags between my accounts before, it does not take 48 hours at all.

Please can someone else try to help.

 

lol you don't use unofficial source that's your issue

Xbox gamertag.comis an unofficial 3rd party and should never be treated as offical

The only way to check names is by changing your gamertag that's the only answer you should rely on

Never ever rely on 3rd parties

I really hope you didn't just suggest people use a3rd party site

As an official check?

You use the friend search on xbox not a 3rd party site

3rd party sites don't take into consideration the spaces are the same

 

Sooo... check on the Xbox apps, you'll still find it the same way?

 

Is there anyone else that can try to help?

The Xbox database doesn't recognize a space as a different character, so two tags with the same letters cannot exist except when a glitch/exploit was used on the Android Xbox app to create them. If you don't believe me, go to change your gamertag and add
spaces between the letters. It will say it is unavailable.

Who is best to contact to get the glitched/illegal tag reset because the live chat support don't have a clue.

Thanks.

 

Hey there!

We can confirm that this is not a thing that can happen. The information ngocphi is sharing with you accurate. There would have to be a very subtle difference in the gamertag like iIl vs ill. They look they same but one is ili and the other ill. It is impossible
for the same gamertag to be associated with two different Microsoft accounts.

 

You can't confirm it. The duplicated gamertag was created with a GLITCH. I am not disputing the fact that it isn't possible to register with the same gamertag as somebody else. That's why it is a glitched gamertag.

I'll try to explain this better...

Xbox doesn't recognize spaces in gamertags as characters. So in the eyes of Xbox, "Mister Taurus" is the same tag as "M ister Tau rus", "Mist erTaurus" etc... spaces do not matter. You will not be able to register the gamertags with different spaces because
you already have "Mister Taurus". Does that make sense? Try it yourself, go here Sign in to your Microsoft account and check if any spaced variation of your tag is available. It won't
be. Spaces DO NOT MATTER.

There was a glitch with the Android Xbox app when creating new accounts that allowed people to register gamertags with differently spaced existing gamertags. This is well documented if you Google it quickly. So if my gamertag is "Mister Taurus" I can now register
with "Mi ster Ta urus" for example, whereas normally it isn't allowed. But through a glitch this was made possible.

Now my problem is that someone made a differently spaced gamertag to mine. Xbox sees the characters as being the same, so that makes it a duplicate. And I want their glitched copy of my gamertag to be reset.

Is that clearer now?

 

We understand what you're saying now, but we cannot force a gamertag change unless there is a breach in the code of conduct. If a gamertag is taken, it cannot be taken by another individual or swapped with another gamertag. We want
to clarify that this will not affect your reputation, communications, or gameplay. Thank you

 

Lots of these gamertags obtained through a glitch get reset in batches. Guess I'll just wait it out then...
