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 1285 Views
I don't know how much to blame Blizzard BlackAdder - 08/07/2010 12:43:08 AM 839 Views
It's not 100% that this is the reason. Werthead - 08/07/2010 12:58:20 AM 1044 Views
or, honestly... LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 02:18:24 AM 888 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 879 Views
Why should there be lawsuits? Nate - 08/07/2010 03:46:11 AM 839 Views
does something even need to necessarily be against the law to be brought suit against? LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 04:07:15 AM 795 Views
I suppose if people want to waste their money ... *NM* Nate - 08/07/2010 04:20:20 AM 393 Views
Depends on how they implement it. Ghavrel - 08/07/2010 08:54:31 PM 835 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 408 Views
Probably does. Still, a 17 year old is technically a minor. Ghavrel - 08/07/2010 10:25:11 PM 851 Views
Isn't that also much easier when they know which county he lives in? Kotagg - 08/07/2010 02:30:06 AM 869 Views
It depends. Nate - 08/07/2010 03:52:17 AM 835 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 487 Views
I wonder how this works with prepaid time cards? Aemon - 08/07/2010 02:48:17 AM 962 Views
Hmm. Nate - 08/07/2010 04:03:59 AM 918 Views
Yup, looks like you're right. Aemon - 08/07/2010 05:12:36 AM 865 Views
I'm sure if I used the forums I'd be more concerned... LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 02:59:48 AM 863 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 427 Views
I can understand why they're doing it. Variant - 08/07/2010 11:08:52 AM 861 Views
Exactly. As if this were a bigger identity threat than Facebook... *NM* Zalis - 08/07/2010 02:46:18 PM 392 Views
In some ways, it is. Aemon - 08/07/2010 04:40:22 PM 785 Views
Actually ... Nate - 08/07/2010 04:51:50 PM 836 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 801 Views
I think you meant Aemon's reply LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 05:19:55 PM 860 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 828 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 958 Views
Joining Facebook is also completely voluntary, as is posting on the forums is completely voluntary. Variant - 09/07/2010 12:13:51 AM 802 Views
Battle.Net is not voluntary Wibble - 09/07/2010 06:20:55 PM 891 Views
Posting on the Battle.net forum is voluntary, as is the facebook feature. Variant - 09/07/2010 11:31:10 PM 1600 Views
Why do people feel this desperate need to defend blizz fuckups? Wibble - 09/07/2010 11:49:57 PM 885 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 814 Views
mmo-champion might be a good place to look? *NM* LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 03:07:51 PM 423 Views
Re: mmo-champion might be a good place to look? Macharius - 09/07/2010 05:23:43 PM 900 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 434 Views
Wouldn't it be easier to just not post on the forum? Nate - 09/07/2010 05:13:46 AM 762 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 940 Views
oO why don't they just let themselves be a game. LadyLorraine - 09/07/2010 01:43:40 PM 839 Views
Oh come on, you know the answer to that. Aemon - 09/07/2010 02:57:24 PM 874 Views
The plan has now been scrapped. Nate - 09/07/2010 07:03:52 PM 902 Views
Beat me to it! *NM* Macharius - 09/07/2010 08:11:38 PM 441 Views
Me too. Nate's quick as lightning. Aemon - 09/07/2010 08:34:21 PM 798 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
