Sometimes someone will push something more outrageous then retract it to make you forget about how much you disliked something else. A negotiation or PR tactic. While I can't definitely say that it's true in this case, it's a possibility.

Well they still have no LAN and No cross realm play so i guess I would expect to see alot of people happy about this news. But this still doesn't make me want to buy the game, come on blizzard why aren't you trying to win over your core audience by adding these key features that were in BW?

They're working on X-Realm play. LAN isn't a big deal for me, but I understand why some are upset. Though at the same time, pirating + LAN + Hamachi is pretty widespread with War3, so I can understand why Blizzard would be slow to add LAN.

Dunno why everyone is so happy , that forum post clearly states they will implement real ID LATER, it doesn't say they will never add it.So why is everyone so happy?! LOL and the statement came from Morhaime , like assuring us that they will keep their word cuz he's the CEO , I really doubt that when he gets orders from Activision,even he can do anything about it.

They havn't had 50k posts in about a day over LAN, and they said they are working on Cross Realm play.

working on X-realm? There is nothing to work on, just allow it. There is nothing to do besides allow it, all they need to do is remove the need to buy two set of games.

But props for taking this change back.

Its not the integration itself so much as the general direction of the company since merging with Activision.

i half expected this to take a few weeks to get a turn around.

Guess if enough of an uproar is made they move a little bit faster.

I'm a little dissapointed, but not surprised. The concerns and fears of these changes are justified, but the potential for esports and just gaming in general was certainly there. =(

Activision... and I repeat... has nothing to do with the game, the games direction, or any changes they might be attempting. Blizzard hasn't been changing or attempting new things because they merged with a bigger publisher, they are changing because it is 2010 and you need to change to stay sharp and ahead in any field.

the ability to rate posts up or down

kufufufufufuuu~

Post disagrees with your opinion? DOWN. Don't like a user's attitude towards you? DOWN. This pos- DOWNDODWNDOWDNWO!!

Many of blizzard's new ideas are quite concerning... Sure they took away real ID after some endless negative feedback, but the fact that they believed it was a good idea at one point is kinda... ya...

Hello everyone,

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.

It's important to note that we still remain committed to improving our forums. Our efforts are driven 100% by the desire to find ways to make our community areas more welcoming for players and encourage more constructive conversations about our games. We will still move forward with new forum features such as conversation threading, the ability to rate posts up or down, improved search functionality, and more. However, when we launch the new StarCraft II forums that include these new features, you will be posting by your StarCraft II Battle.net character name + character code, not your real name. The upgraded World of Warcraft forums with these new features will launch close to the release of Cataclysm, and also will not require your real name.

I want to make sure it's clear that our plans for the forums are completely separate from our plans for the optional in-game Real ID system now live with World of Warcraft and launching soon with StarCraft II. We believe that the powerful communications functionality enabled by Real ID, such as cross-game and cross-realm chat, make Battle.net a great place for players to stay connected to real-life friends and family while playing Blizzard games. And of course, you'll still be able to keep your relationships at the anonymous, character level if you so choose when you communicate with other players in game. Over time, we will continue to evolve Real ID on Battle.net to add new and exciting functionality within our games for players who decide to use the feature.

In closing, I want to point out that our connection with our community has always been and will always be extremely important to us. We strongly believe that Every Voice Matters (http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/company/about/mission.html), and we feel fortunate to have a community that cares so passionately about our games. We will always appreciate the feedback and support of our players, which has been a key to Blizzard's success from the beginning.

I actually submitted a request to the ESRB to re-evaluate the "Privacy Certified" status of the Blizzard forums (as it seems many many other people did too). They emailed back after Blizzard cancelled their plans to let me and the others know.

But... apparently someone there screwed up and the email displayed ALL the emails of the people they responded to lol... Here's the content of their apology email I got yesterday:

Yesterday we sent an e-mail to a number of consumers who wrote to us in recent days expressing their concern with respect to Blizzard's Real ID program. Given the large number of messages we received, we decided to respond with a mass e-mail so those who'd written us would receive our response as quickly as possible - rather than responding to each message individually, as is our usual practice.

Through an unfortunate error by one of our employees, some recipients were able to see the e-mail addresses of others who wrote on the same issue. Needless to say, it was never our intention to reveal this information and for that we are genuinely sorry. Those who write to ESRB to express their views expect and deserve to have their contact and personal information protected. In this case, we failed to do so and are doing everything we can to ensure it will not happen again in the future.

The fact that our message addressed individuals' concerns with respect to their privacy underscores how truly disappointing a mistake this was on our part. We work with companies to ensure they are handling people's private information with confidentiality, care and respect. It is only right that we set a good example and do no less ourselves.

We sincerely apologize to those who were affected by this error and appreciate their understanding.

Sincerely,

Entertainment Software Rating Board
