Blizzard nixed that Real ID plan for their forums
The Battle.net Real ID feature was nixed because in case you didn’t know Blizzard was going to make your identity public to other Battle.net users, which meant that you will probably get harassed by the many WOW fanboys that exists especially in the WOW forums. The problem with battle.net is that in that place is full of trolls, so for them to know who you are that’s really a bad thing as far as security goes. In one way is a good idea because you will be able to know who is that annoying troll, but then there are a lot of peple that are mentally unstable and also play video games so having your name everywhere will be like candy to those mentally unstable creatures.
