How to actually make a difference - by complaining to people with power. I have tried to gather as many different places as possible to complain to, please help by adding more. I am not aware of any restrictions in complaining to bodys outside your area of residence (i.e. a Korean could complain to the Canadian authorities), indeed I am sure they are please to hear from anyone about possible violations of the law.

The important things to mention are;
  • the fact that you were not made aware that your name would be used for Real ID when you originally provided it
  • the fact that your are forced to reveal your name in order to participate in a paid-for service (you can't post on forums w/o a subscription)
  • the fact that this process is discriminatory against people with religious, foreign or unusual names
  • the fact that you cannot change the name on your account without significant effort
If you want to make a difference, don't just look at this list and think 'good job', you actually have to go and complain yourself.

Oh wait, I now love this thread even more.

Damn my name is fierce. Copied, will be going on my future new Battle.net account

Apparently I have great feelings for the club I play for, Steaua1986, and I have great shooting power.

Just registered for the name.
Although I'm still on the real-names-are-superfluous side I must admit that the announcement makes a great belated April Fools joke. Sadly it doesn't seem to be... but nevertheless an entertaining debate.

Well, now that's at least a name I wouldn't hide.

yeah basically this, there never anything about our name being public when you had first to fill your name in there... They should at least allow people to edit for now if they really want this

Blizzard, thou liest amongst the steppes of war, as false as a changeling and deceptive as a buried infestor. Why dost thou toy with mine heart! Mine own sleep I have deprived, simply for the sake of the game. But yet again you have destroyed all hope left inside this heart like an overload sent as a scouting sacrifice. A psionic storm is brewing inside me and I fear it may be too late cancel its wrath. What was once a burning passion for Starcraft 2, stronger than the flames of an infernal pre-igniter have slowly dimmed to meek and lowly candle flame. Thou art nothing but a commercial corporation seeking only thine own monetary satisfaction. Either for sake of obliviousness or carelessness thine owns greatest creations is at the footsteps of destruction, knocking at the doors of death and eternal suffering. Return this game from whence it came, draw back towards the mechanics that made Broodwar timeless. Shun the evil that is Facebook and condemn the REAL ID tag and instead embrace the community that has supported you. Thou focus has been skewed towards numbers, ease of play, and achievements. I implore thee to re-center thine focus on that which is truly important, gameplay and community.

Mine eyes have seen the future and I can say that great wealth and glory lie at hand, but the path you are treading down is straying ever so slowly. I fear that soon the original path and its end goal will no longer be visible. The path thou art following will surely lead to to a death more terrible than banelings raining down from the heavens.

Please, Blizzard, again I implore thee, return to the original path, the path of glory!

Lest I must utter the phrase that has been burning hot inside me like the acid of an infernal roach,

Fare thee well.
I am more animal than the zoo allow
