I've been following the thread on the WoW forums that's dealing with this. Last check it's up to over 40,000 posts right now and 90-95% are anti-Real ID. People are cancelling WoW accounts and pre-orders for Star Craft 2 and the next expansion for WoW, Cataclysm, me included. This is being forced on the game by the CEO and higher ups of Activision, which merged with Blizzard a while ago. The lower level employees of Blizzard are being muzzled by the higher ups and are not allowed to talk about this except via official press releases, but from what I've heard, they are not happy at all. Pissed is more like it.
