Blizzard comes along and drops the bomb that the upcoming Starcraft 2 forums, as well as new WoW forums to be implemented before the next expansion, will use the same Real ID system. Meaning that from that point on, all forum posts will be made under your real first and last name.

No matter their ridiculous reasons for that, and no matter I do not own even one Blizzard game, this is going into such a wrong direction.

Nooooo not Starcraft!
Forums are evil, I thought we all knew this >.>
Just another reason to stay away. ;]

you nailed it Piz, definitely the wrong direction... they'll lose cusomters.

ID verification is a good thing. Too many griefers, hecklers and dodgy groups/individuals out there.

Blizzard, however, is going to publicly link Real Life data with game forum accounts. Huge intrusion of privacy, since people aren't going to want their Real Life credentials outed in that manner.

What scares me the most is not that someone I called a noob might be in my neighborhood and know me.

What scares me the most is security forces in several countrires using this for their own means. And they will. They always do.

I think revealing the real name of people will only create more issues and solve none. Not the way I'd like to go as moderator.

@Torg: They already do, every time you pay with a credit card. :S it does NOT stay in the bank/shop. Why do you think you get all those leaflets!?

@Dky: Cause you're the good twin /o\
