EPTHowever, this RealID enables cross realm chat thing is ridiculous. From a programming/database/communication perspective there is no difference between real IDs and aliases. If it is possible for real IDs then it is possible for anonymous aliases. I guess they want to slowly drive people towards a real ID system anyways. Just like the rest of the internet (especially platforms like facebook), they are slowly moving away from anonymity and privacy.

Wait. But do you really want chat rooms? BNET 2.0 - We provide awesome features for communications between players if you use Real ID. However we provide no way of meeting people other than when you are playing and not socializing. Enjoy. | ||

I would love for this to be implemented in the future, just when the culture has changed, and there are more laws, and monitoring and protecting the online user. But as of now, the world just isnt ready for it. Thank you blizzard. | ||

'Blizzard has reserved the right to “enhance or merge the personal information collected at a Blizzard site with data from third parties. Blizzard may also provide your personal information to other companies or organizations that offer products or services that may be of interest to you.”' It's as if they tryied pushing through with something they knew would have fans in uproar, and when they admit they were wrong, no one will notice that other small thing they really wanted to push through in the first place But I guess we should still see this as a good sign, Blizzard listening to their community | ||
