After well over 2,000 *pages* of overwhelmingly negative feedback against their “let’s publish your real name to everyone” plan, Blizzard has changed its mind about forcing RealID onto the forums. This is a good call, IMO, and I’ll contain to use the forums for customer support and feedback as long as the current system stays in place.
