RealID to come to the Official Blizzard Forums

[daviddoran]

works for me..... not like i could even come up with a creative username anyway......

But I can see blizzard's side. It probably costs them a lot of money in manpower to moderate all the spam QQ, flame wars etc. I'm sure the trolling wont go away, but it will drop dramatically, and IMO that is their primary goal.

I guess they could somewhat increase security by making the forums only readable by players who have an active wow account. It wouldn't keep everyone out, but it should prevent search engines from putting WoW next to your resume...
