    ok hears the deal with me being in college at night and working full time i felt it best not to invest in a subscription and never actually hooked the xbox up to my broadband.

    anyway the other day after the exams i went on line and created a xbox live account. the name was the same as one of the profiles on my xbox (with over 1000 points) and now the buggers are all gone.

    anyone any ideas how to get those achievements back or are they and my saves gone?

    When you were signed in on the XBox you should've joined XBox Live through that account, rather than doing it seperately, so yeah, they're probably gone.

    This happens if the name of your offline profile is already used online. To fix this, just change your offline profile to a name that hasn't been taken, register and then you'll get to keep everything.

    It's only 1,000 GS. My friend lost 43,000 gamerscore before when his account was hacked.

    His account was hacked?
    Sounds like an interesting story...

    More likely an erroneous one. Seriously, 9/10 "hackings" are anything but. People share their stuff with other people and then wonder why everything goes tits up.

    Either that, or he was trying to mod it and got caught......it's less embarrassing to say that your account got hacked then Microsoft banned you.

    Microsoft only reset your gamerscore if they find out you have been cheating to get achievements. Not for modding your console, you are banned from live in that case.
