How's that for a megaton? Blizzard has revealed their upcoming plans to their official forums, stating that instead of your character name, your real name will be used instead. This is where the internet crashes, right? Almost.
The official forums have exploded with resistance to the change, claiming this change to be the worst idea ever. Some even brought up witness protection as a reason for them no longer posting on the forums. There are a few who agree to the change, as now the trolling that has become rampant on the forums will now have a name to them.
My thoughts on the change? Stay tuned!
