I always did want to see how corp theft would go if everyone knew your name. I bet it would lead to a lot of lulz like this.
Identity theft? Impossible in my interwebz... oh wait...
Can someone link that SA guy whose life got ruined after he posted about his fetish with underwear. Yeah, things like this never happen. I really think that fool who posted his real name on the WoW forums illustrated what happens when goons (not just SA Goons) get your real name and how far this can go. But they'll implement this anyway and cry as they get flooded with such hate they'll end up either dropping it or banning loads of people.
Anyway, this just shows how fascist our societies are getting, with companies and governments out for total control.

And here's a list of people murdered for stupid and mundane things in no way related to video games:
Oh wait I can't list them here because that list would be a threadnaught by itself
(the 5 minute post timer makes it REALLY hard to have internet arguments)
All those saying anonymity isn't a problem, please mail me your real names in game and CCP will never know and you won't get banned.
Any excuses are simply hypocrisy and you can stfu.
Thank you very much.

One thing about the blizz employee who supposedly is being harassed, most gaming companies don't provide complete annonymity for their employees. The community manager for EQ2 usually posts with their first and last names, and most of the time that information is readily available for just about every single developer for EQ2...that is nothing new...people over there on the WoW forums are using the fact that he posted his name as an example of what WILL happen to a lot of people once this goes live.
Type of gamer is also imperative here. I know a few EQ2 players and they're not nearly as immature or vindictive as WoW or EVE players. While these things won't happen in EQ2, it will happen when RealID is implemented on the WoW forums and here, if CCP ever get the idea it might be remotely intelligent. I, personally, don't care about WoW and all the 40 year olds going on 13 but I do care about privacy.
Last time I checked there were only three families with my surname in my entire country. You can shove RealID where the sun doesn't shine, because harassing my mother, brother, sister, father and pets will result in bad things being done to you.
P.S. This isn't the end of the world. This just encourages more people to play on private WoW servers, which Blizzard have already ordained as irrelevant, as they believe it brings in more customers for them. Some of these private servers are far, far better than Blizzards, with balance, continuous events, support and fun.

You haven't been in EQ2 lately have you  It seems it has been invaded by more of the WoW kiddies lately. You also haven't been on the other side of the game where you are going to be specifically targeted by people you ban from the forums, I should dig up the posts from the moderator forum I saved when I used to be a moderator lol.
At any rate though, I think blizz is making a huge mistake personally.
I have, fortunately, never played EQ2 but am interested in your links.
