Blizzard Switching Forums to Real ID System

Post by Steve Farrelly @ 10:04am 07/07/10 | 81 Comments

I might always display my full, real-life name in forums and as my online handle, but that's my choice. Blizzard are removing any choice for how you're known online, by shifting their forums to the Real ID system, meaning your online handles will now be officially replaced with your real, full name, post-Cataclysm launch.

The first and most significant change is that in the near future, anyone posting or replying to a post on official Blizzard forums will be doing so using their Real ID -- that is, their real-life first and last name -- with the option to also display the name of their primary in-game character alongside it.

This will be the case for all official forums and will also include StarCraft II, so you can bet Diablo III will follow suit.

woah.. totally didn't expect this.

Looks like Blizz are going hard with RealID. Don't expect to use non-real ID for anything very useful in StarCraft II then.

I think this is the wrong direction. I don't make all you c**** friends on facebook, and you're like family. What's the motivation here? Are they making a play in the social networking space?

Huge point. Not that it is needed that ppls MUST post on the official forums, but what about tech support? I know most information can be found elsewhere, what if it can't.

I can't see anything else happening here apart from the forum population plummeting - is this why they are doing it?

Yeah, I mean I don't spam or troll (or really even read) the wow forums, but I hate this idea. I've been having an argument with friends about Real id in wow ever since it came out, I think the whole idea of it showing your real name is just f***ign retarded. I like some of the ideas behind it, like see what game people are playing, see what characters they're on, group chats, etc, but making it show you up as your real name is just retarded. I mean, a large part of the draw for games like WoW is the escapism, being your character kind of thing, and I don't mean in an RP way, I just mean in a "break from real life for a bit" kind of way. I think Real Id strips away a lot of that, and brings too much of a dose of the "real world" into the fantasy world of WoW.

I just don't like it, its killing the magic :(

I wouldn't have worried too much if it was only first name but last name too? Sure it will cut down on spams and scams through the Blizzard portal but they could've attacked the problem by warning or banning accounts of those people instead of punishing the whole community.

Also, you can't change the name on your account without going through a lot of long winded bulls*** with Blizzard, which involves calling their support line (which is in the US and runs on US hours), and sitting in a queue on the phone for an hour. That is, if you're lucky enough to even be able to get through.

If I'd known 5 years ago when I made my account, that I was going to be identified online using my real name and contact details, I would have put in fake ones.

You think people are going to buy cdkeys just to troll a forum? You'd have to buy the cdkey before trolling (assuming your original key got banned because of a low tolerance policy) whereas speeding you get a fine after speeding + chances of getting caught.

uh... citation needed dude. That sounds like something you heard once in a bar and have believed ever since.

The reason speeding tickets don't stop speeding is because the relative cost of catching people speeding is quite high - so the chances of you getting caught speeding at any particular time is really really low. The chances of you being an asshat on a public forum and getting caught is infinitely greater, and it's practically a zero-cost effort to ban or otherwise punish them - just the click of a button.

I assume the main reason Blizzard don't want to punish people by banning their accounts is that these people are paying customers and they don't want them to stop being paying customers. Putting up with a bit of s*** on the forum is probably totally worth the total economic value of one a****** idiot user, because at the end of the day Bilzzard get the last laugh.

What matters is how many non-asshat customers cancel their subscriptions because of the retards on the forum. And I bet that number if vanishingly small.

It seems though that if their forum account is tied to their WoW account it would be best to just ban them from the forums and let them keep playing the game, right? It would be low cost to them, they wouldn't lose subscribers, and the number of people that are going to pay for a new account just to continue being a forum f***wit is probably pretty small (especially after you sting them a few times).

I've been writing a short story in my spare time about the death of an online avatar, as i personally believe that social networking sites that encourage people to use there real identiity are killing off a culture of annoymous usage on the internet.

Short of this forum i use my real name everywhere else on the internet, however i try to make it clear that whilst i use my real name the person i am online is a character i've created, not who i actuall am. (this isn't to protect myself legally or anything like that, its purely a last stance to hold on to the creative idenity of an online avatar)

it's a shame to see a game which promote roleplaying (even in there advertising using celebritys.. the mr t ad's are a prime example) turn to a realid system.

You don't have to publicly link your character name to your real name. So it's not like someone can just find out your real name after you pwned them in a 1v1. Same can be said about the forums. While your real name will be used when posting, your character name doesn't necessarily have to appear.

Ever since I set up my handle on IRC back in 1990, I have made a deliberate distinction between an online identity and my real life name. I have been fortunate that no-one's ever used my handle online, so I can maintain the same 'name' throughout many games and online communities. My handle IS my online identity, my real name is nothing online.

This isn't to do with anonymity, quite the opposite. My handle remains more or less unique while my real name would not be. There are a select few times when these 2 identities are interchangeable, and that is only while playing with my immediate family online while skyping. Even attending LANs I'd rather know people by their handle than by their real name.

Facebook's insistence of using your real name has been the start of the rot, and with Google profiles following suit, there's definitely a move to quash online personas. While there are certainly asshats happy to hide behind an anonymous nick to troll away, the vast majority of people I know have used the ability to have different handles to promote different aspects of their life. This more directly mimics what our intent is within our minds, and as such is a BETTER form of communication than just simply plonking your real name onto something. Think of the conversation style, the attitude and social context used while at work compared to at home, and at the golf course with mates, and online inside forums. Many may wish to lump all these together (as I do for all my online presences), but there remains no need to mandate it. You're destroying something that's important to the conversation, an idea of identity within context of the conversation.

Next thing you know they'll require people to have their own pictures as avatars. Some people do already by choice (hi trog), but forcing everyone to do it limits people's ability to emphasize their identity in a new space. Allowing people to express themselves more easily mans that I don't have to read as much to get an impression of whether someone's worth following, or is simply an asshat.

@groganus: I'd be very interested in that short story if you want some proofing.

I guess the only option is to use a non Battle.net forum. Hopefully one site's will grow large enough that it's generally accepted by the community to be the place to go. Ofcourse, there wouldn't be any blue posts on that site...

Blizzard have already started to cave under some pressure for other things - they're going to relax their position on the region locking for SC2 online play and chat rooms after a massive backlash. Hopefully they respond to concerns on this similarly.

I think a lot of people's concerns about privacy are very valid. Not many people lock down their accounts online, so if you have their full name you could cause a bit of grief if their facebook profile was visible to the public and whatnot.

I think a lot of people will stop posting on the official forums due to these concerns, and you will see a rise in popularity of unofficial forums.

I would be happy if it was a customizable option what name was displayed, even if it defaulted to your real name but you could login to the account management page and select which identity was your public profile. I understand wanting to remove the cloak of an anonymous persona many people troll from but this is going too far. This could be a great platform for social engineering peoples accounts away from them as you will be able to email or stalk facebook of the player you are wanting to hijack.

An old gaming forum I've visited for years has a track record for messing with people IRL (99% of the time, its fine!).

Posters have been fired from their job, been arrested, been delivered 'goatse grams', and I think at least one has been kicked out of a Uni class for cheating heh.

That all happened because someone posted something like 'hey look what ive done at my job' and trolls have dug up IRL details on the poster and contacted their place of work / reported fake abuse etc.

Nothing good surely can come of Blizzard's decision.

Creepy: My point is about choosing a nick and avatar helps convey more meaning than simply my name or my face. In the context of my blog, I'm fine with my face being presented as I'm writing for myself, but my handle (VRBones) says more about me than my real name.

"My handle IS my online identity, my real name is nothing online."

The name on the pic is leftovers from the last time I used the photo (WCG Korea badges). I'm not too fussed about my real name being associated with me, but I PREFER that people know me as VRBones in an online context. Some people (like Steve) have their real name both online and offline. That's great. If they feel that conveys more about themselves than another nick, awesome.

I share some of the privacy concerns of others, but my point was more to highlight the loss of expression hinders conversation. It's a step backwards.

How do we know its about Social Networking (Facebooking) and not anything to do with forum trolling? Because they didn't do this:

Just let people see what characters are on the same account as the character that's posting. It doesn't violate their privacy nearly as much as the current solution and it would be enough to deter most people from trolling because they don't want their trolling associated with their main. All that'd be left is people trolling from dummy accounts, which it sounds like they can do under the new system anyway, so Blizzard would just make some extra money off crazy cowards.

This is by far and away the easiest wy to deal with trolling. Players are massively attached to their reputation, it would be a much less dangerous option than making people reveal identifying information.

And you can only hae one character name in SC II anyway! ><

Hello everyone,

I'd like to take some time to speak with all of you regarding our desire to make the Blizzard forums a better place for players to discuss our games. We've been constantly monitoring the feedback you've given us, as well as internally discussing your concerns about the use of real names on our forums. As a result of those discussions, we've decided at this time that real names will not be required for posting on official Blizzard forums.

It's important to note that we still remain committed to improving our forums. Our efforts are driven 100% by the desire to find ways to make our community areas more welcoming for players and encourage more constructive conversations about our games. We will still move forward with new forum features such as conversation threading, the ability to rate posts up or down, improved search functionality, and more. However, when we launch the new StarCraft II forums that include these new features, you will be posting by your StarCraft II Battle.net character name + character code, not your real name. The upgraded World of Warcraft forums with these new features will launch close to the release of Cataclysm, and also will not require your real name.

I want to make sure it's clear that our plans for the forums are completely separate from our plans for the optional in-game Real ID system now live with World of Warcraft and launching soon with StarCraft II. We believe that the powerful communications functionality enabled by Real ID, such as cross-game and cross-realm chat, make Battle.net a great place for players to stay connected to real-life friends and family while playing Blizzard games. And of course, you'll still be able to keep your relationships at the anonymous, character level if you so choose when you communicate with other players in game. Over time, we will continue to evolve Real ID on Battle.net to add new and exciting functionality within our games for players who decide to use the feature.

In closing, I want to point out that our connection with our community has always been and will always be extremely important to us. We strongly believe that Every Voice Matters (http://eu.blizzard.com/en-gb/company/about/mission.html), and we feel fortunate to have a community that cares so passionately about our games. We will always appreciate the feedback and support of our players, which has been a key to Blizzard's success from the beginning.

meh just dont post

Problem is that they totally have a corporate agenda with this real id s***. There's lots of good, useful BNet features that you don't get access to unless you give out your real name. They've tested the water now on expanding that to existing peripheral features - its pretty clear they are pusing it.

It really needs to be opposed by gamers. Because if Activision Blizzard turn this into another success / pile of money, you can bet the suits at your favourite game studio will give it serious thought.

Yeah trog I read that girls entire post and have to say I agree pretty well 100% with every word she said. I have personally witnessed that kind of crap being put on female gamers daily during my time playing MMo's and it's pretty frigging sad to say the least.

Handing out a girls real name to a bunch of attention starved teenaged social retards in a gaming environment is a horrible mistake.
