So, the blogworld is swarming with RealID-posts.
To be honest, personally I don't care that much (at the moment). If you type in my (real) name, you already get a lot of information about me, posts on Magic-forums, posts on trek-forums, travian, Rock wrchter, Hyves (dutch facebook) and some more.
But, that is my choice. It was not forced upon me. And on some forums I posted on (hello Maintankadin) my name is Gowron, Not A**** D****. And I like to keep that choice. we are not living in 1984 here, aren't we?
Now don't expect me to cancel my subscription (oh, from a Doors-song), but I am wondering about a comment I made in a post a while back.
At the beginning, someone known as 'Tamarind', together with someone known as 'Miss Medicina', created something different, a guild for bloggers and readers. And I wondered if we in the future, as voice of all the players, could make a difference...
Dear Blizzard,
We, as the blogging community, are worried about the effects the new implemented RealID has on privacy. The fact that in-game information can easily be read, and misused by third parties can be a real problem for a lot of players.
We are against the sharing of personal information without the option not to, unless cancelling our subscription, which we don't want, because we do like the game.
We hereby ask you to remove RealID from the game World of Warcraft.
The Blogging-Community
I don't know if we are ready to do this, but, like a Dutch Philospher once said: If you do not shoot, you will not score.
Oh, and by all means, I am not good at writing petitions, so if something needs to be added/reworded...
