Well, surprise surprise... I just hope this wasn't a ruse to implement a smaller change for the worse and go like "well this isn't as bad, come on".

Eh? Is this new or have I just had my head in the sand? Cross-Realm chat would only make sense if they were to include Cross-Realm play at some point.


He means that mostly with regards to WoW.

Kotick personally wants Bnet to be a social network.
They will not leave it at that.

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 the end they will succeed cause thats where the big money is . Imo its ridiculous that you have to fight that much for simple privacy in a video game.
Well its a small victory but the battle is far from being over.

Well the only thing they succeeded in is me not trusting them anymore at all ^^

Whether or not it was Activision/Kotick pulling the strings on this one really remains to be seen. However in general I think Blizzard needs to make it clear, early in the relationship with Activision they will not be pushed around, and degrade their games intentionally to make money, every feature they give in on and let Activision dictate what happens with, is one step closer to another IW. Note: Blizzard is FAR and away from being this dire, but its a slippery slope with Activision, if anyone from Blizz is reading this forum - Beware the Greedy Kotick.

They didnt back off cause of thousands of angry nerds or else we would have xrealm and chatrooms they backed of cause news organziations covered it, saying it would get people killed blah blah blah. This is bad for them attracting the casual gamer which is what they are after. Which is funny because the casual gamer wouldnt use the forums anyways. Face it guys blizzard is trying to make money (rightfully so) this was a good choice for them because if they didnt do it they would lose sales (not just 1 or 2). They are not going to lose sales to hardcore players like most of us if we dont get everything we want. That is why there is no rush on cross realm/chat rooms (I do believe we get them eventually though)

Or, you know, just think things through. Or just think, in general.

Most people have been flabbergasted at this move. Journalists have been writing essay of how stupid is was. One must think there was, at some point, someone at Blizzard thinking: "Hold on just a second, what the hell are we doing? This is ludicrous!"

I know some of the people who are roughly around that level of decision making, although on the WoW side.

I will confess to not being very surprised.

Saw it coming :p I mean seriously, there was just no way Blizzard would go through with this after the shitstorm it caused.

Edit: I still maintain that everyone were overreacting though.
Excuse me hun, but what is your name? Vivian? I woke up next to you naked and, uh, did we, um?

...for now.

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



I'm thinking the same. Yea they revoked a stupid idea... but now we are embracing them with loving arms? I simply don't trust that the people making the user settings decissions for Blizzard know what the hell they are doing anymore.

This is exactly how I feel. I'm also very dubious still about the whole realid thing, though it is certainly good it won't go on the forums, if they are trying to push it into the games, it's still bad :/

Of course there was, they just got outvoted. I'm sure there are plenty inside Blizzard who are happy they are reverting back. This whole real name crap always struck me as a marketing move, not a game dev one.

Wait. But do you really want chat rooms?
