Wow, what a great post. So much info in one spot.

It can't be said that only "hardcore gamers" or "trolls" are concerned about this and the only ones voicing their opinions.It seems anyone with a brain recognizes the serious implications if Blizzard goes ahead and sets this precedent.

I feel kind of lols for saying this, since it's basically the only thing posted on the Blizz forums lately.

But wouldn't it be more clean to just update the OP in this thread (In which this info has been posted anyway I think) rather than making a new topic?

It seems like the 150 page thread is a better indication of people's thoughts already gives a much better place for discussion rather than opening up a new thread.

Despite the 123123123 other threads on the issue, I'm going to leave this one open because it is actually bringing something new to the table and would most likely get lost in the massive thread.

You know what I think, it's all a publicity stunt to get the world talking about starcraft 2 (with an upcoming release shortly) and WoW end of the year? Sounds like free advertisement if you ask me

It's funny, if this were something that only affected SC2, I doubt we could do anything about. But because all the WoW players are against it with us, we may have a fighting chance.

I'm pretty sure that BP would prefer no publicity right now. I've got to side with skeldark here.

This could coincide with Blizzard trying to make sc2 more casual friendly, i.e. news reports and articles will get it known in the mainstream.

Can't really compare BP to this, BP oil spill is a world disaster, that could fuck us over in the long run if nothing happens. That's like saying the people at BP did the oil spill on purpose.

Or Toyota with their failed engineering ...
Most people sadly dont care about such things as RealID. I can't wait for the day when all the Battle.net friends will be your Facebook friends etc =). Imagine the marketing options and all the new means/exploits to earn money.

I'm leaning towards the harvard blog as the real reasoning behind this change. Since S Korea is such a huge part of the Starcraft scene it would be impossible and quite fatal to tellS Koreans that they can no longer take part in using forums.


man, alot of Koreans have same names, so posting your real name in there is not so important as in european/american countries.
But privacy is still being abused, even if it makes you accept some terms and conditions to post. Anyways, you can always stop posting on there and join forums like this one.
Thank you TEAMLIQUID for existing!!

Maybe to get people talking about the game. "Have you heard what they are doing to WoW and SC2?" Word of Mouth type effect.

Check out what you said once again. It is an absolute statement that simply is not true, which is proven by the BP example. And I would assume that Blizzard won't profit from this bad PR either.

"bad PR can crush you."

The only thing that can actually crush Blizzard is if people stop playing WoW and don't buy SC2 and D3. It's probably just the huge social experiment people are commenting around. So, they have a huge community, turning it into a facebook-like community is profitable and if it doesn't become that facebooky, could even be good for us in the long-run. So they're trying for that. Might be Activision whoring out on it as well. Bnet 2.0 is quite Activisionish.
