Before you make the leap into Gold Family...be warned. (A Fix!)

Thanks for the info  =0) I am going to give it a try in a few days when I can buy my own year of xbox live. I'll let you know how it goes for me.

Thanks for reviving this topic, AKSkins.  I was actually getting ready to message Roujin Z before I noticed your post.

Hey everybody, I'm the original OP of the thread that AKSkinz has posted above, and I just want to thank him for giving me the heads-up as well as the people at Xbox Support for finally addressing this issue.  I did exactly as AKSkinz described above and instructed my brother to recover his account on his respective console and his account is now back to normal.  I only wish it had been this simple in the first place (it should have been, MS, please attack these bugs more expediently in the future!!!).  Bottom line, all is right again.  I'm not sure if we will venture into the Family Pack again given all that has happened, but I might consider it for a secondary account for my reviews as well as for my wife should she show an interest in actually playing Xbox 0on a regular basis.  We'll see.

Thanks once again!

Are Family Gold Plan accounts still restricted to 1 "adult" account and all other being "child" accounts (regardless of age)?

That is my biggest reason to not sign up for the Family Gold Plan.

Yes it is restricted to 1 Adult per family... I was told that repeatedly by some of the support people I have dealt with in the last 5 months dealing with this issue. I have reviewed any and all documentation I could find about the "Family Pack" and no where does it state this limitation (and it is a very "big" limitation).

Until they allow at least 2 adult accounts per Family Plan, it simply isn't worth it (IMO).

Will this take away your gold and put you on the silver membership?
