Yup, looks like you're right. Aemon Send a noteboard - 08/07/2010 05:12:36 AM
I didn't realize that they only supported transfers between accounts that you own. So that part is out. I'm still curious about the time card thing though, and whether new accounts could be created with fake information.

Blizzard demand that people use their real names when posting on their forums (WoW, SC2). Werthead - 08/07/2010 12:20:07 AM 1283 Views
I don't know how much to blame Blizzard BlackAdder - 08/07/2010 12:43:08 AM 837 Views
It's not 100% that this is the reason. Werthead - 08/07/2010 12:58:20 AM 1042 Views
or, honestly... LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 02:18:24 AM 886 Views
Yeah, that'll work. I hope Blizzard enjoys lawsuits. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/07/2010 01:08:58 AM 407 Views
I've heard that other places have been doing this without too much of an issue. iRacing, for one. Aemon - 08/07/2010 02:34:49 AM 877 Views
Why should there be lawsuits? Nate - 08/07/2010 03:46:11 AM 837 Views
does something even need to necessarily be against the law to be brought suit against? LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 04:07:15 AM 793 Views
I suppose if people want to waste their money ... *NM* Nate - 08/07/2010 04:20:20 AM 391 Views
Depends on how they implement it. Ghavrel - 08/07/2010 08:54:31 PM 833 Views
There are parental controls to keep kids off the forums, if that makes any difference. *NM* Aemon - 08/07/2010 09:22:45 PM 407 Views
Probably does. Still, a 17 year old is technically a minor. Ghavrel - 08/07/2010 10:25:11 PM 850 Views
Isn't that also much easier when they know which county he lives in? Kotagg - 08/07/2010 02:30:06 AM 867 Views
It depends. Nate - 08/07/2010 03:52:17 AM 834 Views
Oh well, there are thousands of people with my exact name, so I'm coo then. *NM* Kotagg - 08/07/2010 04:27:31 AM 486 Views
I wonder how this works with prepaid time cards? Aemon - 08/07/2010 02:48:17 AM 961 Views
Hmm. Nate - 08/07/2010 04:03:59 AM 916 Views
Yup, looks like you're right. Aemon - 08/07/2010 05:12:36 AM 863 Views
I'm sure if I used the forums I'd be more concerned... LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 02:59:48 AM 862 Views
You should be concerned. Addons can also pick up your name in game from Real-ID *NM* Wibble - 08/07/2010 09:23:57 PM 426 Views
I can understand why they're doing it. Variant - 08/07/2010 11:08:52 AM 858 Views
Exactly. As if this were a bigger identity threat than Facebook... *NM* Zalis - 08/07/2010 02:46:18 PM 391 Views
In some ways, it is. Aemon - 08/07/2010 04:40:22 PM 783 Views
Actually ... Nate - 08/07/2010 04:51:50 PM 834 Views
And *gasp* what if you did something to make someone mad on the "real life" server? Zalis - 08/07/2010 05:13:57 PM 799 Views
I think you meant Aemon's reply LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 05:19:55 PM 858 Views
Yeah, you're right. Aemon's. *NM* Zalis - 08/07/2010 11:09:29 PM 399 Views
Facebook is a free service where you can control your privacy settings Wibble - 08/07/2010 09:27:33 PM 825 Views
Guess I just found another good reason not to waste my time/life/money playing WoW. Zalis - 08/07/2010 11:14:27 PM 957 Views
Joining Facebook is also completely voluntary, as is posting on the forums is completely voluntary. Variant - 09/07/2010 12:13:51 AM 801 Views
Battle.Net is not voluntary Wibble - 09/07/2010 06:20:55 PM 888 Views
Posting on the Battle.net forum is voluntary, as is the facebook feature. Variant - 09/07/2010 11:31:10 PM 1598 Views
Why do people feel this desperate need to defend blizz fuckups? Wibble - 09/07/2010 11:49:57 PM 883 Views
Forums are bad for you anyway. Didn't you hear? *NM* Zalis - 10/07/2010 01:35:13 PM 403 Views
Re: Blizzard demand that people use their real names when posting on their forums (WoW, SC2). Macharius - 08/07/2010 02:47:02 PM 812 Views
mmo-champion might be a good place to look? *NM* LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 03:07:51 PM 422 Views
Re: mmo-champion might be a good place to look? Macharius - 09/07/2010 05:23:43 PM 898 Views
then just read and don't post. *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/07/2010 09:27:36 PM 389 Views
I'll be cancelling my subscription if this goes ahead on 27th *NM* Wibble - 08/07/2010 09:24:29 PM 433 Views
Wouldn't it be easier to just not post on the forum? Nate - 09/07/2010 05:13:46 AM 759 Views
Also: I'm pretty sure that this is related to Blizz's social networking/facebok integration push lord-of-shadow - 09/07/2010 01:26:36 PM 938 Views
oO why don't they just let themselves be a game. LadyLorraine - 09/07/2010 01:43:40 PM 837 Views
Oh come on, you know the answer to that. Aemon - 09/07/2010 02:57:24 PM 872 Views
The plan has now been scrapped. Nate - 09/07/2010 07:03:52 PM 900 Views
Beat me to it! *NM* Macharius - 09/07/2010 08:11:38 PM 439 Views
Me too. Nate's quick as lightning. Aemon - 09/07/2010 08:34:21 PM 796 Views
Not surprising. That quickly and violently blew up in their faces. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 10/07/2010 12:01:32 AM 457 Views
straight from the horse's mouth *NM* BlackAdder - 10/07/2010 03:12:53 PM 498 Views
