I'll just make a new battle.net account with false name, and just start taking good care of my cdkeys. Thats all the need to recover your account anyway. I am going by my gut here, I simply dont trust blizzard anymore with my personal information.

Seriously people, just adapt to the change, if enough people start making their new accounts in false name blizzard will have hell on the support line and realize it was a bad idea after all.

You know people say that, if you dont like this then dont post - BUT my biggest problem is that, if something happens to one of my games, I will be directed to support forum. and I DO NOT want to post there with my real name just cause I want help - so how do I go around that?

Q u o t e:
So... update on the real ID thing. This information I found out is fairly huge but already foreseen. This information comes from an actual blizz employee.

1.) It is not Blizzard but activision that is initiating the real ID on the forums. Activision said that Blizzard only has rights to changes to the games and nothing else. So there is nothing blizz can do about it. Blizz employees are Pissed about the change.

2.)From what I heard, yesterday was a big mess for the blizz employees. The reason for the whole mess is; Their computers locked up. Hundreds, if not, thousands of people canceled their WoW subscriptions and the total amount flooded the computers so much that it locked up the computers.

I just got this information from my friend this morning. I emailed him and got a response and a lot of angry talk about the whole problem, heh. So be mad at Activision not blizzard.

Another nice quote
Q u o t e:
There's a pattern emerging here, which my roommate summed up nicely: you draw a line in the sand and wait for us to come to it. When we reluctantly toe the line and say, "All right, but no further," you reassure us that this is the only line, let us get comfortable there, and then walk forward a little more and draw another line. And wait for us to follow you. You've reached the BS detection point for most of the people posting here, where we're all saying, "Wait a minute, just how many lines have we crossed?" I'm pretty sure you've found the threshold of what people are okay with, because we've all realized that we can't trust you not to draw more lines, even if you promise you won't.
