Is it only for this thread or for the entire site?

Yeah, I'm guessing it's probably the Activision Execs pulling this kind of stuff. The response has been almost 100% Universally negative and I hope they come to see that this is not what their customers want.

Edit: God, such a boring name.
You should not have to pay to watch the GSL, Proleague, or OSL at a reasonable time. That is not "fine" and it's BS to say otherwise. My sig since 2011. http://www.youtube.com/user/dabom88

That's quite understandable, Flanks. Privacy is very important and if you're not even slightly comfortable with revealing your real name in the forums, then I think it is perfectly understandable that you err on the side of caution and just don't post. It's a shame that some perfectly constructive and decent folk predict they will no longer be posting in our forums when we make this change. We hope though, at the very least, you will still be reading them. We've got a lot of other changes coming to the forums in terms of layout, content and the like and we hope that you will still find the forums a useful source of information.


Hope OP or a Mod can edit that in.

And that it doesnt get lost on the bottom of this page...

So I tried deleting my Battle.Net account yesterday (I have Diablo and D2 linked to it, I have both games on CDs), and couldn't find an option to do so, so I mailed the support team for guide on how to do it. I got a mail from them and I'm speechless, really, it's just mind boggling


Hello,

Thank you for your email. If you would like us to proceed to the permanent deletion of your Battle.net account, along with any associated games, please send us a cover letter by postal mail to the following address:

- Your full address including postal or zip code
- Your Battle.net Secret Question and answer
- A legible scan or photo of a piece of government-issued photo identification, such as a passport or driving license matching the first and last name of the registered account owner

What the hell? I live in Croatia, and they expect me to mail them a cover letter just so I can delete my account? Also, a scan or photo of a government-issued photo identification? Plus I gave them the false address, although I gave my real name and surname.

Also, does this mean my D2 cd key will become invalid, even though I have a boxed version?

I've been waiting for D3 for over a decade now, but I will not be buying nor playing it under these conditions that Blizzard is trying to implement.


Edit: and Michelle Alen? For real TL?

oh, they totally should be Fr- Mr Agosto!
Then again that's a lot of pages of stuff. Thanks anyway ^^

PS Michele Alan (lol!)
Call Blizz. Make sure you tell them the reason for cancelling is RealID.
You might have to wait in line on the phone a while (it's a shitstorm.) but I'm sure it's faster than sending a cover letter from croatia...^^

Blizzard requires you to do all that so they can absolutely confirm that its you who owns said account.

Isn't the fact that I'm contacting them from withing my Battle.Net account, and also from my e-mail account enough? I don't have any experience on how account thievery works, I supposed this is to prevent someone from taking over your email and Battle.net account and then deleting it, but still - mailing them all that just so I can get rid of my BN account? It's crazy


Edit: hahaha this is the first Google hit for Michelle Allen

A wall Street Journal blog.
Already 800 responses to it.

The new policy caused some Blizzard game customers to experience a fury and hurt that many likely hadn’t suffered since their last siege on a castle in World of Warcraft. In Blizzard’s discussion forums, game players said the policy would lead to everything from identity theft to spam to stalking by “Internet crazies.” One poster said he was worried that a new girlfriend will could discover his “closet-gamer habit” by Googling his real name.

“This is disgusting, Blizzard, and a violation of our privacy rights,” said one poster.

“I was hit by a car once, but this is far more painful,” another wrote.
