If it is true that trolls pushed it to this point, then I think in 10-20 years or less it will be impossible to have internet access without something like Real ID. Mainly because I see trolling as being human nature. But its going to apply to all sites. Or all sites you need to visit anyway. Since the internet (or Internet v1.0) is anonymous by nature, these systems tend to be unreliable, exploitable and generally somewhat unwieldy since you can never actually verify packets to an actual human being. The term Real ID applied to internet presence is a laughable overstatement for a product name. It is neither "real" nor "ID".

So... Illysia... do you see us going to a point where we might consider Real ID for PS then?

They've posted an open letter to the players stating that real names won't be used in the forums. I just wish there was an in-game option of using my battle.net username instead of my e-mail and real name to let people know "Hey, it's (*unintelligible noises*)'s alt".

Wouldn't help much but it might run off the few people that still post regularly. PS's trolls are too persistent to let something like this stop them.

it wouldn't work for PS anyway. a real name isn't actually required. there's no monetary transactions going on.

Well, for now, and a ID check could be used to verify a person's age, to assure they are a "mature" player, i.e over 18.

That wouldn't be helpful as there used to be young teens that played well and there are people now, over the age of 18, that need to sit out till they grow up. :P

Just checking if my real name would be readable anyway: 李连杰

Damn it does!
I guess Brad Pitt would have to leave PS as well. Harassment and all that...
