'Forcing' anyone who uses the forums to do so under their real name has to be madness. Surely if the internet as a whole followed this example there would be, without too much of an overstatement, a serious crisis? One of the things people enjoy about the internet is the privacy aspect...? <br /><br />Whilst I have never, and probably will never post or get involved on the forums (because I could see my life turning into even more of a WoW-sink than it already is) I cannot fathom what this will achieve? <br /><br />And, I would suggest that anyone who has ever had issues with slightly... over-zealous, over-enthused or downright stalker-like players in-game will be close to cancelling their accounts in protest. I've had a few issues with people who won't take nice hints about leaving me alone in-game; this just ratchets up to a whole new level with personal details linked to character details. Bah, my head is throbbing!<br /><br />As an aside, and if you want serious blogging heavyweights from the non-warcraft blogsphere weighing in on this try PZ Myers (slight swoonage from me admittedly):<br /><br />http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2010/07/an_interesting_experiment_in_o.phpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041140959859966193.post-39175109904578346132010-07-07T01:28:28.759+01:002010-07-07T01:28:28.759+01:00Been gone all day...
