People will have crawlers ready to snap up the Real Name of anyone foolish enough to post on the official forums. Then that will be sold or used without your permission/knowledge for financial gain or maybe against you. So keep acting like everything is cool.
There's no S in KT. :P

well, This change is obviously stupid, and obviously a poor choice. Rather than deny myself the enjoyment of a well made game, ill just have to create a new email and Bnet for Starcraft 2, under the name "Tar-Arnie Tordhole" Thank you blizzard : \

That clip of jay and silent bob used tu humor me but I aint laughing no more. It used to be that someone truly mentally ill would do such a thing but now vital info is readily available to anyone who feels like they should get a hold of someone to "talk".

Perfect example is that frech guy who plots for six months to get revenge on someone who knifed him online. http://kotaku.com/5550609/man-spends-six-months-plotting-murder-of-counter strike-rival. Now he only would need a few days, what a timesaver. Good on you blizz.

Edit: cute how your nickname is exchanged for a seemingly real life name(not that its mine at the top of the post). At first I was like w.t.f?
Do you really want chat rooms?

Why don't people get how bloody dangerous this is?! Not just for privacy but for the industry.
"Hey let's do what they are doing, we'll make money!" is a great way for this kinda idea to catch on.

I don't want to hear "We hear you" I want to hear "Nevermind that idea was stupid!" The hell is wrong with blizzard!? They know better then this! They do!

Blizzard will probably experience quite a backlash after this fails utterly

For those who, for reasons that are completely beyond me, do not read Penny Arcade, they have commented on this in their most recent strip.

Probably because they're all randomly assigned. ;p

In the days of Diablo 2, B.Net forums were a joke, and when d2jsp came around providing a much better alternative, the switch for the entire community was welcomed, and b.net for D2 died in the space of 2 weeks.

Maybe im the only person here, but im glad they are changing the forums at last. It would be a lot better for the community if they were closer to the B.Net staff, and if they didnt change anything on the forums, everybody would just up and leave and come to TL.net, one step further from the staff.

"Everyone on the Internet already knows your name. It hasn't stopped you from being a fucking asshole" is my favorite part.

Blizzard decided to add chat rooms with far less QQ.

I wouldn't be too worried about it
