Real ID announced change affecting the forums

Postby Epzilon » Wed Jul 07, 2010 10:55 am

So Activision and Blizzard was thinking it was cool to make Real ID to allow you to talk to friends and socialize over battle.net, however they are considering and would most likely make you post with your real id as well on the forums. I keep posting on the official boards from time to time, but I don't like the idea of not being optional as they promised. :(

That idea is kinda stupid. I wouldn't like if all kind of (possible dangerous) morons can see my Real Name... "hey, she was that idiot, who didn't heal me in WG! ffs, I'll track her down now, buahahaa!"... :evil:

OT: What is taking soooooo loooong, once again... gah, only time I really really REALLY want to play, is when I can't.. they are patching... and damn late with it, too...

I can see why, but instead of doing this they should just block your real account when they ban a character from the forum. You do bad things on the forum: no playing wow for you >:)

Or just add a: Other character on this account option to see all the characters the person has.

And allow nicknames instead of real names :S

Your real name wont be linked with any character by default, the only way someone would know how to link the two would be if you told them, or if you chose the option of displaying a character with your forum posts.
Is in your account, sharding your purples.

As I understood, if you choose to post on the new forums to come you will simply be posting with your real id, instead of a character name. In others word don't post if you don't want your identity to be hidden.
