Good to hear Blizzard still listens to the community, even if I didn't really care either way. Restores a little of my faith in Blizzard.

I am glad that Blizzard changed their mind, really shows the power of the community.
It's disturbing knowing how many people can dig deep into your life, only knowing your name, and I am glad this will be kept at minimum within Blizzard Forums =)

So chatting cross-realm will still only be possible using real names?
I'm still happy the shitstorm worked in the end though.

Honestly did anyone doubt this?

I mean there is no way blizzard was going to go through with this after the negative reaction.
No big surprise here. But its good to know, none the less.
The meaning of life is to fight.

They just need to have a single ID which shows all characters tied to an account, tbqh.
I have been known, on occasion, to dapple in fancy hats.

I'm glad Blizzard listened on this one. I thought they'd force it down our throats to save face. I'm glad they swallowed hard and took it on this one. It'll make the community better for it. The other forum improvements will make the forums significantly better. Not enough to be our main place to post, but enough to make them less of a cesspool than today.

Maybe I'm just the suspicious type but the whole fiasco sure hasn't left me trusting them much.

Now we just need every media outlet in the world to take up all our other causes. When is the BBC going to write an article about cross realm play?

LOL.. I'm not surprised, It would be total madness if they did have real ID, either people would get stalked or the battle.net forums would be vacant.

Is this real? If so.. such a shame. I know everyone was bashing on it.. but I was excited for a company to be bold and to require people to treat eachother with respect.... even though someone would probably be murdered at some point because of it.



respect? so wrong.
every single player would have used a fake name, the only ones with real names would have been the blizzard guys, thus getting spammed in real life anytime they announce something
People get what they get, this has nothing to do with what they deserve.
