So there's a new feature coming up for us World of Warcraft, Starcraft, etc., fans! Posting on the forums will be done under our legal names instead of character names!
BEST IDEA EVER RIGHT? I am filled with unspeakable rage over this. I will never be able to use the forums again, both as a woman, and someone who is careful with her RL info. Yes, I'm sure if someone did enough digging they could 'find me' despite my care. But I'd rather not make it REALLY EASY for people to do so, yanno?
Especially the sort of impulsive scum that inhabit the World of Warcraft.
"Oh but this will reduce the amount of forum trolls!" Riiiight. Sure some of them might not post anymore, but they will sure as shit be sitting back reading. And they will simply find a new way to get their jollies - tormenting people in the real world.
Great idea Bliz. This is the first time in five years that I have seriously considered canceling my account. If I was an active forum user I would absolutely do so. And if this goes any further? Ventures into an "I can't opt out of this." area? I am GONE.
