World of Warcraft: Cataclysm Classic Patch 4.4.0 Notes
Realm Restarts Scheduled — Wednesday May 1
Do you consider the Horde to be "the bad guys" or is it more complex?
You are not in a Raid group / You are not in a party
MMO-Champion
Forget being stalked down and killed, the biggest threat was just the new level of online harassment you could accomplish with someone's real first and last name. I mean you can get their addresss, and phone number easily and make 10x more convincing scams. Or just use that info to sign them up for spam mail...
Anyone who cannot see that is either ignorant to online security or just naive.

2010-07-09, 05:08 PM #42Deleted"We have no plans to..." Heard that before.As a result of those discussions, we've decided at this time that real names will not be required for posting on official Blizzard forums.
Just an easy way to win back the community and wait for a better time (i.e. after the expansion is released).

Seriously. I was actually hoping they'd go through with it just to shut people up. I could have cared less if it was implemented or not, but them 'giving in' to people whining with BS reasons just annoys me.

At the end of the day what matters is that they find a way to clean up forums. If RealID wasn't the way to go, let them bring on something else.

And the tears of millions with only about 1% of them having a valid reason and the rest just trolling/paranoid/crying to cry drowned blizzard.
Why don't you guys go back to screaming at Blizzard for not fixing every problem your class has overnight now?
Hope they don't cave in every time they try to make a big change.

Casuals win again!
Seriously though, it's a nice victory for the community and good to see they listened. I've regained some faith in them.

I really hope all those people who cancelled their accounts stay gone tho. We could definitely do without those kind of overreacters in the game. (Though it is likely they lied about cancelling their account. Please, if they reactivate it, their characters are gone, otherwise their gestures were meaningless)

Too bad. I guess the forums will still suck. Which reminds me... I need a cool new name for a lvl 1 troll. And ideas?

Is this true? Or was it all just a trick to make Blizzard look like they are caring about the community? Is there a spoon? Anyway thats awesome, I had some Paladin healing suggestions but I couldn't take them anywhere because I was boycotting the forums.

The trolls win 2 times on the same subject.
OT: Well hopefully we'll be posting on forums under 1 handle now rather than 1 person using 5-10 characters to bump his own "AMG RET IS THE UNDERPOWARD!" threads.
