Everyone is Really Pissed with RealID
July 6th, 2010Today the web is exploding with posts, blogs, and articles about how pissed off people are that Blizzard is extending it’s Real ID concept to posts on the forums too. Basically they will be showing your real name when and if you choose to post on the official Blizzard forums for WoW or Starcraft 2. Starcraft 2 will come first, and then WoW once it’s closer to Cataclysm’s launch.
It’s funny because they actually use the excuse that it will help keep trolling down. OR YOU COULD MODERATE YOUR FORUMS! This is the same damn problem in the game with trolls and generally ill behaved players. There is no punishment. So I guess they choose to just keep people from posting period on the forums because I know I don’t feel comfortable using my name on the web, and nor do many other people. I don’t even understand what Blizz is trying to pull with this shit.
