    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.

    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)

    This. I have a couple of people I would love to add to this, but no way am I giving up my (full) real name and my logon email to them. I'm not sure why it was implemented in it's current format, maybe it was rushed to meet the SC2 release deadline?

    Actually, no. They want to create more opportunities to cross-sell their suite of Blizz games such as SC2, WoW and D3 to people who may only be playing one of these products. Why else are they not charging for the use of RealID?
