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 1265 Views
I don't know how much to blame Blizzard BlackAdder - 08/07/2010 12:43:08 AM 822 Views
It's not 100% that this is the reason. Werthead - 08/07/2010 12:58:20 AM 1019 Views
or, honestly... LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 02:18:24 AM 858 Views
Yeah, that'll work. I hope Blizzard enjoys lawsuits. *NM* Ghavrel - 08/07/2010 01:08:58 AM 397 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 860 Views
Why should there be lawsuits? Nate - 08/07/2010 03:46:11 AM 819 Views
does something even need to necessarily be against the law to be brought suit against? LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 04:07:15 AM 773 Views
I suppose if people want to waste their money ... *NM* Nate - 08/07/2010 04:20:20 AM 383 Views
Depends on how they implement it. Ghavrel - 08/07/2010 08:54:31 PM 814 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 398 Views
Probably does. Still, a 17 year old is technically a minor. Ghavrel - 08/07/2010 10:25:11 PM 835 Views
Isn't that also much easier when they know which county he lives in? Kotagg - 08/07/2010 02:30:06 AM 845 Views
It depends. Nate - 08/07/2010 03:52:17 AM 819 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 476 Views
I wonder how this works with prepaid time cards? Aemon - 08/07/2010 02:48:17 AM 940 Views
Hmm. Nate - 08/07/2010 04:03:59 AM 891 Views
Yup, looks like you're right. Aemon - 08/07/2010 05:12:36 AM 849 Views
I'm sure if I used the forums I'd be more concerned... LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 02:59:48 AM 844 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 418 Views
I can understand why they're doing it. Variant - 08/07/2010 11:08:52 AM 845 Views
Exactly. As if this were a bigger identity threat than Facebook... *NM* Zalis - 08/07/2010 02:46:18 PM 378 Views
In some ways, it is. Aemon - 08/07/2010 04:40:22 PM 762 Views
Actually ... Nate - 08/07/2010 04:51:50 PM 814 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 778 Views
I think you meant Aemon's reply LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 05:19:55 PM 835 Views
Yeah, you're right. Aemon's. *NM* Zalis - 08/07/2010 11:09:29 PM 389 Views
Facebook is a free service where you can control your privacy settings Wibble - 08/07/2010 09:27:33 PM 799 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 939 Views
Joining Facebook is also completely voluntary, as is posting on the forums is completely voluntary. Variant - 09/07/2010 12:13:51 AM 787 Views
Battle.Net is not voluntary Wibble - 09/07/2010 06:20:55 PM 871 Views
Posting on the Battle.net forum is voluntary, as is the facebook feature. Variant - 09/07/2010 11:31:10 PM 1566 Views
Why do people feel this desperate need to defend blizz fuckups? Wibble - 09/07/2010 11:49:57 PM 865 Views
Forums are bad for you anyway. Didn't you hear? *NM* Zalis - 10/07/2010 01:35:13 PM 391 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 794 Views
mmo-champion might be a good place to look? *NM* LadyLorraine - 08/07/2010 03:07:51 PM 406 Views
Re: mmo-champion might be a good place to look? Macharius - 09/07/2010 05:23:43 PM 870 Views
then just read and don't post. *NM* LadyLorraine - 09/07/2010 09:27:36 PM 377 Views
I'll be cancelling my subscription if this goes ahead on 27th *NM* Wibble - 08/07/2010 09:24:29 PM 421 Views
Wouldn't it be easier to just not post on the forum? Nate - 09/07/2010 05:13:46 AM 736 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 908 Views
oO why don't they just let themselves be a game. LadyLorraine - 09/07/2010 01:43:40 PM 817 Views
Oh come on, you know the answer to that. Aemon - 09/07/2010 02:57:24 PM 857 Views
The plan has now been scrapped. Nate - 09/07/2010 07:03:52 PM 882 Views
Beat me to it! *NM* Macharius - 09/07/2010 08:11:38 PM 417 Views
Me too. Nate's quick as lightning. Aemon - 09/07/2010 08:34:21 PM 774 Views
Not surprising. That quickly and violently blew up in their faces. *NM* TaskmasterJack - 10/07/2010 12:01:32 AM 445 Views
straight from the horse's mouth *NM* BlackAdder - 10/07/2010 03:12:53 PM 479 Views
