Like I said in my previous posting, I just recently ported over my original XBox Live account to my 360 which I've had- and been playing offline -for almost a year now. In the past year of playing with myself (slight pun intended) I've racked up a 160 achievements and 3000 Gmerscore. Might not be much considering what I've seen from others on Live, but mine nonetheless.

Well, unbeknown to me, you can't take an offline profile online; you must create a separate (read: new) profile, with zero everything when you want to go online.

So, I've started from scratch. A year's worth of gaming tantamount to a goose egg.

What can't I share with the online community that's such a big deal to me? 50 of 50 achievements in Oblivion, 97% completion of Burnout Revenge, Gears of War completed on Hardcore by myself (no co-op) and a slew of other feats which, while fun to obtain once, the thought of doing it all again for the sake of points I already earned is pretty disheartening.
