What are you doing after the RealID mess?

[Bigfish]

I've cancelled all my WoW accounts, and I have no intention of ever firing them back up after this.

Well, I had 2 fallback games on the horizon if I needed them.

Civilisation 5 and Diablo 3.

With all the changes being made to Cata - backdowns really - and now this complete disregard for customer safety via RealID, I suspect Civ5 may need to be my saviour. I can't imagine I'll buy D3 now (despite having been a long time player of the Diablo series) just because I don't feel poor behaviour should be rewarded.

I suspect I'll stay in WoW up until Cata, unless of course RealID just reaches new heights of stupidity.

If that's going to happen, a few people will stand up and large open source platforms/games will be build. It's a matter of time until companies will see a profit to support such endeavors.

I'm still 5-boxing wow. I'm gonna give things time to settle down before making any significant decisions. I'm having fun today and I'm not convinced that Blizzard is really a front for a dope ring or a false flag operation by the government to sell sensitive data to the Russians to fund the NSA black helicopter program for spying on US citizens and the new BEDBUGS (Baby-Eating Dogs Built Under Government Supervision) program.

I was really excited for Cataclysm. But I'm finding it so hard to be now. The whole RealID leaves such a bad taste in my mouth - I think I've kind of lost my innocence a bit. For me Blizzard was the one last company that wasn't touched by massive publishing houses. I know, I know, selling mounts, acti-blizz merger etc it was all there but I never really wanted to see it and I could avoid it.

RealID just leave it smacked between my house and I feel sad for all the hours and time and faith I've put into their products. I cant turn around this time and go 'its not that big a deal, I see where they are coming form, I'll adapt'.

And it makes me angry because I want to LOVE all the Cataclysm stuff. It sounds like its going to be great, new 1-60, new talents, mastery system etc etc - all stuff that would've got me hooked all over again.

Suddenly feeling horrible burnt out and a bit lost as to what to do with myself - I guess I could finish RDR or finish fixing up my garage to put a gym in it.

Bleh - fuck you RealID.

they canceled their plans to make RealID names on the forums http://blue.mmo-champion.com/t/25968...mes-in-forums/

cool

and +1 internet for me

I don't believe they will be so stupid to continue with this realID. With all the negative press they have 2 choices imo:
...
- stop this crap and use it to their advantage: 'we listen to our userbase and value their input ... blablabla' and come up with another solution
