They want to ensure only people who really have reason to trust each other become real id friends.
How about Blizzard give you a code that can only be obtained with your Bnet, password and Auth code(if you are SMART enough to have one) That code would only allow you get your character data (your choice as Toned talked about. You could obtain different codes for different characters and the person could message you, and they would get the reply you were not online but the message would come through to any toon you were on.
maybe too much data to mess with on Blizzard's part?
I was thinking, if i ever get RealID i'd just set the name to show to Littleburst. But i'm asuming that's not possible, reading Toned's post.
Seems like blizz is doing again, at what they're good. Coming up with new stuff that doesn't really make sense yet.
It displays your FirstName and LastName from what is registered on your batttle.net account.
that's just plain annoying :/Quote:

You guys realize it's optional right? I'm not sure I like it, or trust it, but I know I don't have to use it so... no biggie
The system is off by default, you have to activly turn it on by accepting a Real ID Friend or sending out an invite.
I don't really understand why Blizzard has gone so far and why they didn't just implement an "interserver friendlist" that would have allowed to chat with people using the screen name of our choice. I don't think that realID stuff is something that has been asked by a lot of people contrarily to a simple interserver friendlist that you could use with both true friends/family and in-game acquaintances which a lot of us are really looking forward to...
Mainly because it wasn't designed specifically for WoW, the RealID system is supposed to let people in different Blizzard games chat (i.e. WoW and starcraft 2)Quote:
