After 6 years bungie changed my name for no reason. Why?!

Today I logged into the game after the 8.0.0.8 update and a message appeared saying my name had been changed to "Guardian" and a random number. The reasons for this were apparently: 1) I logged in for the first time. 2) I recently changed my name. Neither of these are true. I [u]haven't[/u] changed my name since I first played Destiny 2 in [u][b]2018[/b][/u]. My name "FreshHummel" (Hummel means bumblebee in German) has not, to my knowledge, violated Bungie's rules in the last 6 years and still does not. So why was my name changed?

  • Hello there[url=https://tuxydoh.com/images/hi.gif],[/url] The in-game message is misleading. A name reset to default like that means it was reported, reviewed by Bungie and reset to"Guardian####", that indicates that some part of the name broke the [url=https://www.bungie.net/7/en/Legal/CodeOfConduct]Code of Conduct[/url] or the [url=https://help.bungie.net/hc/en-us/articles/7648312251284-Bungie-Name-Guide]Bungie Name Policy[/url], was filtered, and [b]can no longer be used. When that happens, you get the new name cross play message in-game as notice of the name change. You can try a different name if you have not previously changed it.[/b] If the system is not allowing more changes, there is no way to override it.

      I share your pain brother. Someone felt the need to do the same to me too this morning. Granted my name was Step-Bro, Kell of Help and they seem to immediately associate “Step-Bro” with something seggs-ual and corn related, which for their sake I hope they don’t do that to step siblings and parents in real life cause that’s just wrong. Nevertheless the valiant keyboard warriors on the forums came to defend the honor of the company and not the player base (aka me) so all I can suggest is that you let them revel in their political correctness of making the internet a safer place. All jokes aside you got it way worse than me and I wish you the best of luck cause I got the same Bravo Sierra reply you are getting from the mods. Feel free to add me for fun times of just being named “a guardian” lol

            Bungie Names have not existed for 6 years, so that’s impossible. They also did not exist in 2018. It doesn’t matter how long you had it, Bungie will remove it if it violates their policies. If your name was changed, it’s because it violated Bungie’s code of conduct. Bungie will not tell you why it was removed for security reasons, but you can review the policies you agreed to. You should also note that Bungie fully reserves the right to moderate the game as they see fit. If you have any name changes left, you can change your name to something else. If you don’t, then you’re stuck with the default name. You cannot appeal a forced name change.
