I thought the same thing. Looking through the BlizzardPR's twitter, they seemed hell bent on keeping this first and last name business for good.

Glad to see Blizzard listened to everyone's concerns. Yeah, I was defending it, but not because I thought it was the only good idea they could use; the intention was to help, after all, although as many people brought up, there are other ways. It was a bit disheartening to see that people really didn't trust their fellow gamers. But in retrospect, I guess there isn't much of a reason to.

Someone needs to post in that official battle net topic that this smells like PR bullshit.

1. In no way does it clearly state ReaLID names canceled in the Thread title itself. They can leave it open for the future like this.
2. I'd like to take some time to speak with all of you regarding our desire to make the Blizzard forums a better place for players to discuss our games. We've been constantly monitoring the feedback you've given us, as well as internally discussing your concerns about the use of real names on our forums. As a result of those discussions, we've decided at this time that real names will not be required for posting on official Blizzard forums.

At this time? jeez, that's the 2nd time which leaves everything open to be introduced again in the near future.

The real question remains: a calculated publicity stunt or poor judgment?

This is good, but we need to inspire a full retreat on all of the things that matter. Maybe we'll get our LAN in some form, but there's still chat rooms and cross realm play to nail down.

well finally seems like part of the Ol' Blizz is here watching and caring a bit for their community and kind of parody of what Mao said once "if all hundreds of thousands of blizz users decide to stomp on the ground the world is gonna get it"

Honestly, they've dropped the ball on so many things I doubt this is a stunt of any kind. I'm pretty sure they didn't have a high opinion of their customers until we started backlashing, maybe they thought they could get away with this agenda. THEY WERE WRONG!

Well, beta on hiatus = a nerd's period. Angry mood swings and can end in uncontrolled bloodshed.

Sadly, you're probably right. It's like when a celebrity "accidentally" leaks naked pictures on the internet.

Still, good PR move by blizzard.

"Do something terrible" ---> "let the community rage" ---> "media whore attention" ---> "cancel said terrible thing" ---> "everyone loves blizzard".

Oldest trick in the book.
