Yeah, I forgot about them too.

Kinda remind me of the job I had in the bank.

Verify name, address, account number, signature, IC number, passport no., police report, will and etc.

Due to Blizzard's rather controversial Real ID crap, angry fans have been digging up Blizzard employee's facebook. Not gonna post them here but full of lol.

Didnt know Dustin Browder likes TF2 and The Dark Knight too. I should add him as friends too.

well for non-raid, our connection to wow is pretty ok but for raids we would require some form of tunneling at times (i do direct connect often)...
for sc2 beta so far, my connection been really good since i got my own line straight to my room lol...

Added on July 7, 2010, 4:56 pmbtw on the RealID issue...
i have first hand experience on it in WoW...

u only add ur real life fren or really close frens as ur RealID frens...
u can still add other people via their IGN...
RealID links all the users directly via bnet (i can see my frens playing sc2 and whisper him to login wow and help in raids etc)...
thus if u dun really know that person, DO NOT ADD HIM AS UR REAL ID FREN...
and if ppl add u, u can choose to approve or reject...

Yar, the more I think of this RealID stuff, the less I like it.

People can go stupid or mental about video game, ESPECIALLY blizzard games like Wow or SC2.

I can totally expect some people to get beaten up (or worse...) in real life if they beat someone else, win some loot over someone else or whatever in a video game...

dude, no1 force u to add some random dude u met as a RealID fren...
u can still add him as a regular fren (aka non-bnet) with only ur IGN revealed...

You got it all wrong, now, Blizzard gonna reveal your real name on their forums, as a "solution" to all the trolling and flaming.There is no way to hide your real name on their forum, unless you dont post there.

Stop sucking up with all the shit that Blizzard is putting.

Beat someone up just because they lost some virtual items, maybe some stats.

Some people just have nothing else better to do.

quoting from gormaz

lol dun tell me u can win loot over someone in blizzard forum LOL...
the context of my 'that' reply was about within the game itself where all the action happens...

matured adults would not be bothered with forums for flame wars etc...

and @ cheese
no offense but stop finding faults which stuffs already implemented and claimed others to be sucking it... i have over 20 realID contacts in WoW which all of them are i know off in RL or some exceptionally close frens...

I quit wow just before they put that realId so I do admit I do not know exactly how it works right now.

So you are saying that from the character name, people cannot link it to your realID (basically your real name)?

Like let's say my character name is Miluna, my realID name is Gormaz.

The guy see Miluna in the game, he can't find that the realId associated to Miluna is Gormaz by looking at the armory/forums or whatever?

I am sincerely asking here because it could make a big difference.

And what about in SC? Same? You use some "character" ID that people cannot link back to your RealID?

no u cant...
u would need that guy's bnet email to add him as a realID fren...
that's y i dun get why are people overreacting to realID...

within the game u would have 2 IDs: -
- ur realID aka ur bNet ID which is only seen by those u added/ approved as realID frens (requires that person's email for bnet in order to add)
- ur in game ID aka ur IGN/ nickname

ur privacy is still protected as long as u dun broadcast ur bnet email to other ppl...
btw ur realID = ur bnet email denoted by ur firstname/lastname combination on ur contact list...

note: ur firstname/ lastname combination IS NOT UR REALID... ur realID = ur bnetID = ur bnet email login... ppl can have similar firstname/ lastname combination but not similiar bnet email login

I think you're misunderstanding the situation here.
Blizzard isn't just extending the current implementation of RealID to the whole of Battle.net. They're altering it so that when you post in forums, your first/last names will be shown instead in addition to your bnet ID. The announcement states that they are doing this for Starcraft 2 first, and then extending it to WoW later.

So, whatever experience you currently have with this system is not a valid argument for the new one, which suffice to say, we don't have much info on yet.

This is a terrible idea, I'm pretty sure there's a solution called "Moderators".

WRONG: ur forum shows ur firstname/ lastname and your main IGN, not ur bnet name/ ID... as i said ur bnet would always be protected... u just need to login wit ur bnet (which is the case now since most of the things u do wit blizzard requires u to login with ur bnet ID)

"The first and most significant change is that in the near future, anyone posting or replying to a post on official Blizzard forums will be doing so using their Real ID -- that is, their real-life first and last name -- with the option to also display the name of their primary in-game character alongside it. These changes will go into effect on all StarCraft II forums with the launch of the new community site prior to the July 27 release of the game, with the World of Warcraft site and forums following suit near the launch of Cataclysm. Certain classic forums, including the classic Battle.net forums, will remain unchanged."

Part of the post is your guesses right? Some details you mentioned are not in the FAQ.

see post number Post #173
what i've mentioned are not guesses...
its the combination of the FAQ and wut i've experienced...

the FAQ http://kr.battle.net/realid/faq.html
as i've said, most of the proposed bnet system? large part of them are already inplemented in WoW and accepted

How will I become Real ID friends with another player?
Both players must first mutually agree to become Real ID friends. To send a Real ID friend request to another player, simply enter his or her Battle.net account name (an email address) using the Add Friend function in-game. The other player will see the pending request in their friends list, and if they accept, you will become Real ID friends with each other.

Will Battle.net inform me if I enter an invalid Battle.net account name when I send a Real ID friend request?
A player who sends a Real ID friend request will only be notified if the other player accepts the request. To protect the privacy and security of all of our players, the requesting player will not be notified if the email address entered is an invalid Battle.net account name or if the other player declines the request.

What’s a World of Warcraft friend or StarCraft II friend?
A World of Warcraft friend is any player you add to your friends list by World of Warcraft character name; this works just like adding friends works in World of Warcraft now. You will be able to add StarCraft II character names to your StarCraft II friends list in a similar fashion. If you add a character name to your friends list and are not Real ID friends with the player, you will not see the player’s real name in the game, nor will they see yours. Character-level friends such as these are specific to each game (i.e. World of Warcraft character friends cannot see each other in StarCraft II or communicate cross-game) and can see online and offline status information only, not Rich Presence details or Broadcast messages. Other characters that a World of Warcraft friend creates will not automatically be added to your friends list.

What information about me will other players see in-game if I do not use Real ID?
If you are not using Real ID, only the in-game character name and online/offline status of the character you are playing will be visible to other players, and only within that game.

Will my Battle.net account name (email address) be visible to Real ID friends or on the forums?
No. Your Battle.net account name (email address) is never displayed to Real ID friends, either in-game or on the forums. Furthermore, no personal information beyond your real name is shared with any other player at any time.

How will Real ID be integrated with the official forums?
Beginning in mid-July, players who post on official Blizzard forums will be doing so using their Real ID -- that is, the real-life first and last name associated with their Battle.net account. In addition, players also will have the option to display the name of their primary in-game character (plus related in-game information such as guild and realm) alongside their real name. You’ll also begin seeing blue posters (i.e. Blizzard employees) posting by their real first and last names on our forums as well.

These changes will go into effect on all StarCraft II forums with the launch of the new community site prior to the July 27 release of the game, with the World of Warcraft site and forums following suit near the launch of Cataclysm. Certain classic forums, including the classic Battle.net forums, will remain unchanged.

What information about me will other players see when I use Real ID?
If you are using Real ID, your mutual Real ID friends, as well as their Real ID friends, will be able to see your first and last name (the name registered to the Battle.net account). You will also be able to see the first and last name of your Real ID friends and their Real ID friends. Your Battle.net account name (your email address) is not displayed to other players through the Real ID friends list. In addition, players with Real ID relationships will be able to view each other's online status, Rich Presence information, and Broadcast messages, and will be able to see which character and game their Real ID friends are playing across supported Blizzard games.

Uh, as you highlighted it, it clearly says your real-life first and last name. What part of this am I reading wrong?

Since when did anybody accepted it?

Your explanation is way too confusing...

And we were talking about privacy (your REAL NAME)... not about exposing your Battle.net ID.
