Battle.net Problems

WOW Head pointed this morning to an article at Zam about the upcoming changes to Battle.net that will add the Real ID system.  The problems aren't what you expect--they relate to Starcraft II beta players who discovered they can't play with friends in another region without buying and registering a second game and the fact that there are no chat rooms.  Whether this will impact WOW players or not is another issue, but I suspect at least a few folks won't like this among the WOW player base.
