Looks like I'm gonna first a lot today...
Was the XBL gamertag ever officially confirmed? Or is it still in the gray area?

I believe it's still unknown.

I at first assumed it was fake, the real one would most likely have linked the gamertag to their Bungie account. But how it changed it's name like that was weird. Does it work like that when a normal silver account changes their name? I sent it a message to requesting that it confirm it's identity, but got no response.

Anyone know if you are deleted off the friends list to allow new "players" on?

If it's a fake, it's a damn good one. For a while, the motto was changed to "Comm 6166342000" which could be interpreted as a phone number, when called it was this: then it changed the last 3 digits to "###" at that point I think the old number ended up turning into loud, high-pitched, annoying noises.

I tried 365 as the ### and got a real life person, so I just said "Hey, um, I think I got the wrong number" and left it at that. No clue as to if the person on the other end was in on this or not, though.

erm, im desperate, start playing

I tried adding the adjutantreflex tag today, didnt work, so he doesnt have unlimited Space

Aslo tried the 342340fgjdfgjer* (lots of higgledy piggledy number and letter one)

that one didnt work either. I hope he does to allow new players into the game, will make for more interesting specualtion . always needing that fresh insight.

*not real GT

yea i have been trying to get him to add me since last night but it seems he has stopped accepting for now at least or has hit the limit
