So guess it's about time to say sorry to Bashiok. He was an innocent sacrifice.

However, 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.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

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.

Thank God! It's too bad a few people had to be martyred for this to happen though. Anybody know if Bashiok ever started to post again?

Just let it be known, that I love the idea of Real ID. And I love what it means for gaming in general. Its just I feel they are ahead of the times, gaming really isnt considered cool, or good yet. Employers and just people in general dont respect gamers in western culture as of yet, especially the hardcore genre that RTS is. And its hard to move something forward when in reality the industry just isnt ready for it.

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.
We were all raised on televion that made us believe we'd all be Millionairs, Movie gods, and Rockstars..... But we won't.... We are slowly learning that fact. And we are very, very pissed off.

I wonder what it would take to trigger an Infinity Ward style event where Blizzard ups and walks away from Activision.

I'm a bit disappointed with all of this...everyone is happy now that RealID won't be forced on the forums, and no one seems to remember that this is still in Blizzards plans:

'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
