So now, the community's happy about this meaningless change(come on, 99% of us never even posted there fuck that, besides it's not that big a deal, names...) And we'll all be pleased with Blizzard instead of looking at the currently still very very sad state of battle.net 2.0

A way to concede defeat without conceding defeat.
Seems like only one guy had to expose his real name to spook the Blizzard guys.

Wait and see, Blizzard have many bad things still in their pockets, since this company is own by technocrats who didn't play their games, just collect our money.

Eh, I'm a little disappointed that Blizzard caved. I think it could have been a positive step forward in making the Internet a more sane place. I suppose I was one of the three or four people in the world who didn't really care if my real name was attached to my words.

Maybe but only maybe it was a publicity stunt - I mean they got a lot of response in various magazines (online) for free.
And now in the end they even end with beeing the best company ever in your minds by doing what the comunity wants.

just my 2 cents..

I won't say congratulations because this was just stupid.
Cross-region play, LAN, great interface... Some other things they might want to work on asap.

Gaming is seriouz biz, full of assassins, stalkers and evil people of doom, we need to protect our names, imagine the voodoo those 15-year olds could do with them.

hmn... maybe they should think possible consequences through before trying to implement such changes.

But on the other hand it shows that they still care (and thats for sure what they wanted).

Why? They saw the reaction, and the smart thing to do was decide implement this change.

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.


Not enough thought. lol.

Nice job, whining kids!

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



Yeah, I also wasn't sure if we would be able to make the change but thanks to everyone... All the Blizzard Fans, thanks to the WoW community also, we always make jokes about them but they are also part of the Blizzard Fanbase.

Amazing U-turn.

This picture pretty much perfectly sums up my feelings right now.

I'm really glad Blizzard listened to us and changed their minds. Blizzard retains awesomeness.

I am kinda thinking that Bashiok might have sacrificed himself to proof the point.
At least its a nice thought and nothing we can exclude.

If I am really right, I salute to him.


It could be true and if true, he deserves the salute. Bashiok would be badass enough to do it. I'll salute him for taking one for the team, whether intentional or not.
