Blizzard isn't going to make us use your real names in the forums anymore. I guess the massive media coverage and outrage decided them to turn back.

Negative publicity is still publicity though. I wonder if that was their strategy. As if they needed to get the word out about Starcraft II more.

Now take it off WoW and I'll be fine.

real names shouldnt be put into names or forums unless the ppl want to give it to anyone >.>

everyone knew this wasnt going to work. it was just plain dumb and dangerous. although, i dont really care if i give out my name, the only reason i can is because like thousands people have the same exact first and last name as me XD XD XD
