Okay, so here's my dilemma.
I did what everyone else has seemed to do, which is to end up (accidentally) with 2 accounts. When the beta test user research stuff started, for whatever reason I couldn't sign in with my XBL account, so I just went ahead and signed on with my gmail, assuming I could link it later, only to find out that I couldn't.
I finally looked it up today, after seeing the sweet sweet loot drop given to long time members.
I finally got the XBL gamertag unlinked from the old bnet and on to the new one. HOWEVER, the years of bnet service obviously did not come with it.
Here's the problem with this. I like the new username (threesided vs. Threesided) and this new username has garnered quite a few followers and is now attached to the art community I help run.
So I feel like I've screwed myself out of having the best of both worlds. Either I keep the old account and lose all the notoriety of the new one, or lose out on any possible perks of being an older member ( my old account is 4 years old).
Does anyone know, if I transfer my gmail to the old bnet, will it bring the followers and such with me, or am I stuck basically giving up the 4year badge?

Why not use your old account, link everything up, then change your display name?
