Sounds too damn intrusive to me... I don't put my real name out there for anyone except where I have to make a payment.

Wonder what they're going to do when the first person gets hunted down for revenge. You could really ruin someone's real life. Would you want some WOW forum crackhead calling up your boss and that's just a mild case scenario.

Very strange how this came about right now. For 3 years I have posted on an alt on the Shadowsong:US forums under the name Porkie. Giving out clues to my identity over the years and finally someone won my 3 year game. Literally just gave them their 5k gold prize an hour ago.

I was never malicious but I would have a lot of fun at others expense. The people bragging about their gearscore or how awesome they were would rub me the wrong way and I'd tear them down. Really Porkie became a bit of an icon. Needless to say those with the over inflated ego's I targeted made many threats including threatening to get at me in real life.

Looks like I concluded my game at just the right time...

I know why they're doing this but c'mon now... They could just leave it as listing all your toons and leave your real name out of everything.
