For every Warcraft 3 player, a profile¹ is created (that you can't opt out of) which lists every game the player has ever played, including timestamps and game lengths. The forum posters are already linked to these pages, so presumably their RealId will be as well when the new system is implemented. This means that if you post in the forums once (even for a technical support issue), your real name will be associated with your game history.

Please read before you get started with the FUD. It will be optional to display your main characters name. EDIT: To be clear >so presumably their RealId will be as well when the new system is implemented. Is false on its face from Blizzard's announced policy. This, of course, eliminates the last concern of the parent.

  > It will be optional to display your main characters name. Which is hilarious and retarded at the same time, cause I'm posting on the blasted Battle.net forums in the first place because of the game I'm playing (in my case, WoW). It should be in the context of the character in said game, not my real name. WTF does my real name have to factor in what I want to say in my realm's forums or something? And why require real names in subforums that are legitimately being used with little trolling that in-game GMs will actually tell you to go to to post about problems and such? In fact, WTF does my real name have anything to do with whether or not I will troll? I can go create a new account with a fake Real Name quite easily, and that's only to troll on the forums. Trolling outside of the forums and in real life is probably going to explode with this change. Which I'm sure is great for Blizzard, they can stop hiring so many CMs to moderate their forums.
