Having your real name revealed on the WoW forums!

No shizzle, Blizzard are about to remove all the usernames and replace them with the real names registered to the WoW accounts :D

Personally I love it - you don't roll around in real life being anonymous, so I don't see why you get to interact with other people online and get to be a complete cretin. Boo hoo.

I can see this becoming the norm in future, there's just too much nonsense online - I do think however that your name shouldn't show up on Google, as the employer argument is a valid one. I'm always Googling people, and I bet employers do it too, and if they aren't they're missing a trick.
