Sometimes I wonder why they don't just make a poll in the first place, to see how the community feels ahead of time. But good to see this changed.

Blizzard is so normally pretty good with these kinds of complaints.

Battle.net 2.0 still needs work though -_-

Good thing.

I think that using our real ID for the forum is alright, as soon as it isn't our real names that are displaying. Admins can still see trolls' names quite easily, and people get to keep their anonymity for posting.

I won't post more or less that I already post, but at least people will be able to keep some minimum anonymity on the net...

i wonder how they thought this would work out.

i mean, they themselves still have the real id behind the accounts available, the only change would have been that users could flame each other irl
People get what they get, this has nothing to do with what they deserve.

Activision was just poking around testing the boundaries. I will bet you anything that in a few years you will need to have a credit card registered with RealID so that they are able to nickel-and-dime you to death with micro-transactions.

They probably knew what the result of such a poll would be. My bet is that they didn't expect all the negative media attention rather than the forum backlash.

They succeeded in diverting our attention from chat channels, cross realm play, online replays etc.

Nice job.

Because backpedaling is as close to heresy as you can get in WoW, for reasons peculiar to wow's mechanics.

Its an in-joke, of sorts. But it is terrible, and was irresistable.

Amazing I actually wasn't sure they could be convinced to change this one, but I'm glad I was wrong.



I'm incredibly surprised as well because I would have thought all of the coding behind putting into play was mostly complete. They were just waiting until there was no turnback before it went live. Glad to see the voice of the 10's of thousands of players really showed. I'm glad it made front pages of cnn, abc, multiple gaming sites and even they wall street journal. The voice of the community and fans of blizzard really stood up together.

They made a big decision that they said they put a lot of thought into and then they changed their minds before trying it because a bunch of little kids whined.
