I'm getting a little worried about the amount real life threats I'm getting in Starcraft II.
Firstly, I want to know how it is possible to search up an address through sc2, if that is possible or not and hopefully someone here can help me. Of course, I would love to play a game without having to be fearful of some impending danger.
Secondly, to all you people who make real-life threats. Be warned that you do not know who you are dealing agaisnt... its just a game I prefer not to have silly life threatening situations occur for either of us or any other sc2 player in general.
Seriously...

My life for Aiur. You threaten my life, Aiur threatens you

Welcome to online gaming.

well first of all they can find out who you are ... only if they were a good hacker or something people dont think its possible but its quite possible.. the only reason why i believe people are threatening you is your just acting more childish towards them thats the only reason how i see it maybe you should change your attitude when you play then you shouldnt be so worried of real life threats

If you're concerned about random people in a video game going to your house to hurt you, perhaps you should find another activity. Like painting. Painting is fun.

... this begs the question of what are you doing to have your life threatened?

How poetic. Self-referencing.

Well if he plays Protoss that would probably explain it given the general reaction to any of my victories on ladder.

First of all, it doesn't matter what I do in a game to have been threatened. Its a game. Live with it.
Secondly, why is everyone so hostile regarding this incident, I'm just looking for some information to set my mind at ease. Perhaps you haven't had real-life threats issued to you, and I haven't not provoked him in any sense. Thats why blizzard has a ticket for real-life threats, because they realize its an issue.
Also are any of you aware that people have died because of such issues? Yes they are rare but in that odd circumstance these people actually to persist in finding you and eventually end up harming you.
Can you all please be more open and don't post anything unless you have something useful to say.

Lol for some reasons your post reminds me of someone who tries to be an internet warrior but is afraid of being called out/caught.
That's not the case here is it lol?

Maybe the internet isn't for you.

In all seriousness, I would assume you will be tough to track down via the Starcraft client. I might be wrong but the examples I know of people getting DDoSed or whatever come from the IP being accessed over Skype and other such applications.

If anyone makes a real life threat to me, I'm gonna go to their house and force feed them pickled olives
|
i'm pretty sure you're worried about nothing, and i highly doubt your a victim
|
First of all I have recieved (numerous) "real-life" threats, reaching from "i'm gonna hurt you" to "i'm coming to your house to r### your mom," basically for beating people in the game when they were already in rage mode. Kiddies? Probably!
I understand that most people here on TL consider the OP a trolling post, however the implementation of the Real-ID (aka the game knows your name) feature has gotten quite a few people worried and I think the OP deserves at least 1 legitimate answer 
(Which I can't provide because I'm not a hacker/ don't know anything about it.)
