Your real name is already available in WoW

It should be noted that this only fixes the bug that allows addons installed on YOUR computer from getting your real name. Other people can still use addons/LUA to see YOUR real name from their PC.

Only if you're Real ID friends with them. (I've seen a few vague claims that you can find it for _anyone_, but I've scoured the wow api and it doesn't appear to be possible.)

I've been looking for and trying to figure out the acclaimed mouseover macro that shows names, I am coming up dry as well.

It would seem that the new Gearscore 3.2 beta that was released on June 5th [I think?] is one of the addons that will reveal names in your tooltip. Whether both people need to have the addon installed I do not know. I obviously cannot confirm this first hand but the beta page on Gearscore's webpage is down. The 3.2 beta has been pulled from all other addon sites. Threads are beginning to pop up on WoW's General Forums with more screenshots. Most of the threads about it are getting deleted or locked. This is not Gearscore's fault as I'm sure the author is fixing the issue. Unfortunately, Blizzard is still to blame.

Yeah, I've been digging trying to corroborate the screenshot I posted but I'm getting links to dead/deleted/locked threads with lots of bans flying around. I suspect the info was out there and mods everywhere pretty much started nuking those posts from orbit to avoid Blizzard's ire. Ah well, at least it got around enough that Blizzard can't just hopsy-daisy and pretend there aren't issues that they need to be more careful about.
