Hi,
I am an old player that quit for a while at the end of forsaken. My old username came from my D1 account on xbox. It was an xbox auto generated username that I kept when I switched to steam from xbox. The name was TipsyDonut63 with capitals thrown in everywhere.
When I returned to the game a couple weeks ago my name had been changed to Guardian8753 and I am unable to change my actual username or display name.
I don't have a clue what happened but this is really annoying and I was hoping there would be a way to fix it. I would like my old name back.
Thanks in advance!
Hey there. When cross play launched, the new Bungie name system was implemented:
[quote]we're converting everyone's name over to an identity that will remain consistent across all platforms you play from. We’re calling this your Bungie Name. While this will cause a one-time naming reshuffle, we feel this is better for everyone in the long run. Here’s how Bungie Names will work and look:
"Bungie Name": PlayerName#1234
"Display Name": PlayerName
"Hash": #
"Numeric ID": 1234
...
If your name ends up empty or includes a moderated term, you will find the quite unremarkable “Guardian[Random Number]” name over your character’s head. While we won’t have a name change feature at launch, we are working diligently to get you an early version of this feature this winter. [/quote]

So a name change feature will most likely become available later this winter.
Unfortunately the system might of detected something wrong in the name. Don’t worry though, the name change feature should be available later this season.
