Bungie.net login system - Hotmail is retiring

Now I'm not sure if any of you have been paying much attention around the Microsoft side of things, but just today Microsoft just announced a new preview of what's coming down the road to [url=http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/07/31/microsoft-reboots-webmail-efforts-with-a-familiar-name/?smid=tw-nytimes]replace "hotmail" with their new version of Outlook.[/url] If you go to [url]http://login.live.com/[/url], you'll notice that it looks a little bit different. However, the plan is to eventually move EVERYONE away from the "@hotmail.com" extension. [url=http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/microsoft-outlook-microsofts-webmail-service-takes-aim-gmail/story?id=16893915#.UBguXWlWrRc][quote]The new Outlook is an entirely new webmail service, complete with @outlook.com domains. It doesn't replace Microsoft's Hotmail or Windows Live email service, but it is very easy to move your @hotmail.com or @live.com email address over to the new service.[/quote][/url] [b]Now the question[/b]: Will this effect Bungie.net's login system? With a new bungie.net innovation and facelift right around the corner, can we expect to see a new login system with Outlook rather than @hotmail? Whether or not you like the change, eventually everyone will be forced over to the new service. Microsoft has had hotmail since 1997, and it's time for an upgrade. If possibly even the webteam could shed some light on this, it would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • If you login to [url=http://www.outlook.com]outlook.com[/url] with your current WLID, @hotmail or @live account, you will have the opportunity to replace your WLID with a new @outlook.com account. It is extremely easy to do this, but be aware that, in the case that you are using a hotmail or live e-mail, if you replace your WLID for an Outlook one, [b]your old hotmail or live e-mail will no longer work[/b]. You will still receive e-mails sent to your old e-mail, but you will have to login using your new Outlook e-mail. I now have to login to Bungie.net using my new Outlook e-mail, trying to login using my old @hotmail.com e-mail doesn't work because that e-mail no longer exists. Edit: first post on the mains in 4 months. [Edited on 08.01.2012 11:40 AM PDT]
