    Unwanted numbers behind my GamerTag


    So I’ve just change my gamer tag which was ridiculously generated earlier and after that when I checked my gamer tag after it I’ve realised that the numbers were directly behind it and they’re very, and I mean
    VERY obvious which is way behind what I was expecting.

    The numbers in the preview were much smaller and has a hashtag(#) behind it with a nice tone of grey which looked nice even though I didn’t even wrote that there and since it doesn’t look like much so I just claimed it.

    I’m completely aware of the fees for the second time gt changing so I spent an hour doing so. Now I’ll need to pay around RM40(Malaysia Ringgit) which is not an amount of money to be joking about everyday.

    I’m completely unhappy about this and I request for a change. I believe there’s much, much more Xbox users out there who has the same problem as I’m facing right here, right now. I would not recommend my friends or family using Microsoft/Xbox if such poor
    designing keeps occurring.

    :)

    The suffix appears to everyone in game, friends and me too.

    Also the website puts the suffix in grey and it's lightly visible, nowhere is it noted that the numbers will stay in the Nickname however it is what happened

    If you’re assigned a suffix, the # symbol and suffix appear everywhere except in friends lists. You don’t see suffixes of friends in your friends list and they don’t see yours in their friends list. Your suffix is used in games so that everybody knows who’s who.

    If you change your gamertag at https://social.xbox.com/changegamertag it will even how you if the chosen name has a suffix (if the origianal belongs to someone else) and will show you what it is.

    If you do decide to change your existing gamertag, be aware that you may lose it to someone else.

    Afraid not. The gamertag system was changed a while back to allow people to have the same gamertag but if the tag you pick is already in use then it will have a suffix & numbers after it.

    If you want to change the tag you have now then you will need to pay,there is no way around this.

    HI Do'Rinzl

    Microsoft only allows one change of a gamertag and does warn you of this at the time. Any subsequent changes are charged. This is to prevent some players constantly changing them, as this has an impact on the whole Xbox backend system.

    With regards to the suffix, this is because your new gamertag is not unique and only appears to other gamers who are not on your friends list. Anyone on your friends list does not see it. These changes where made a while back and more details can be found here:

    Hope this helps.
