WOW Insider believes that the new Real ID system that will be introduced in Patch 3.3.5 as a way of connecting with friends isn't a security worry. They are wrong. Using a real email address as a login is always a security concern, especially given that the Solo MMO Player's email address (used only for logging into the game) is constantly bombarded with gold seller spam and pshishing emails. How else does that happen except Blizzard's Battle.net system has been hacked? Do you think things will be any different with Real ID? I don't. Set up a free account that you never use for anything except logging into WOW and urge your friends to do the same.
