I'm kinda surprised Blizzard backed down. What is it with game companies really putting their feet in their mouths lately? Cryptic, Blizzard... who next?

[url=#user_comment_35583]@Rakshi[/url] Actually, Kotick has been quoted specifically saying that he wants to force WoW into being the next step in social network gaming, try to emulate farmville, with RealID basically becoming facebook. And he HAS stated it WILL be forced eventually, just like the battlenet account thing.

Cry some more.
It's entirely optional and it's never going to be forced. You're never going to be running around Northrend with Your name floating above your head.

As for forums, it's a God awful train wreck out there, I'd be happier if nobody ever posted there again.

Pretty much right, both with the 'girl who's a guy' *and* the fact that the bottom picture only has 1/5 the players of the top one. I've been told there's currently a several *hour* wait on the server that handles account cancellations, though I have no way to verify that.

Yeah, I don't play WoW, but I can see that the RealID thing is a BAD idea. Internet anonymity allows people to be idiots, but it's also one of the things protecting us. Heck, I've heard stories of people being attacked in real life for whacking someone's character in-game.
Rage
almost 14 years ago
Just to reiterate my point I made earlier. There's a glitch with RealID in the game which automatically friends yourself and addons can use it to steal all your RealID info. And it HAS been noted that blizzard will force RealID in game as well.

It's a way for you to communicate with your friends who play wow cross-faction or cross-server. It's a system meant to let you communicate with friends you have and people you know, not random people in the game who you've never met.
NAMKCOR
almost 14 years ago
to continue, you still post with a character on the forums, not your Real ID, so your name is not released.

Long story short, nobody will know unless you give it to them, so only give your Real ID to people you trust.
NAMKCOR
almost 14 years ago
Nobody knows your name or anything unless you give it to them. You can't just get someone's account login (the email you use to log in) from a character name, so people won't know your first and last name unless you become real ID friends with them (which is totally voluntary as well).

And you can't just say "Oh I won't post on the forums" or "DURR USE A FAKE NAME" because inevitably blizzard WILL force this in game on all their games, and you can't change the name on your account. Many of us put our actual names on their because it was agreed to be private, and because it was

Anybody dumb enough to think this is a good idea on any scale needs to be shot. Removing the veil of anonymity on the internet will not stop people acting ilke retarded apes, because by and by it's not an act. Instead this is a HUGE security issue, that extends beyond just the game itself.

There's more then just your real name that it implements, but that is part of it. There's a formula to it and they're eliminating one variable.

Indeed, Jo:

Would this mean the end of blue text in forums.battle.net ;), or a double-standard that just ends any respect players have for their mods? "We'll ban you if you do this, but we can do it just fine."

It can only be a good thing. The amount of abuse that gets thrown around on the Blizz forums is ridiculous. This is probably the best way to curb that - people will have to take ownership of their comments, rather than be royal w@#&ers at everyone while hiding behind the safety of anonymity
