Real ID and Privacy UPDATED

The new Read ID part of Battle.net is in effect but many folks are wary of using it for privacy and security reasons.  Here's what Too Many Annas says about the situation, with additional emphasis on role playing gamers using cross-faction and cross-server chat.

Lissanna has the same concerns but phrases them in another way.

Lume is starting an online petition asking Blizzard to improve Read ID privacy.

This site has been recommended to Big Bear Butt as a great resource for druid PvP information.  It looks like is has information about other classes, too, but I don't know how good that is.

Battle.net New Terms of Use Agreement in Patch 3.3.5

There will be changes to the terms of use agreement around Battle.net when Patch 3.3.5 hits today.  Details here.  The most important item I noticed was Blizzard will be allowing access to in-game advertising.  I presume they will allow third parties to advertise inside Battle.net somehow but I don't know that for sure.

Activision Considering Call of Duty Online Subscriptions UPDATED

Well, they have to have something when WOW dies.
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3180011

UPDATE:  Kotick wants consoles to be replaced by PCs.  Or at least to work a deal where he creates a gaming PC with a manufacturer.  All that Call of Duty money Microsoft makes must be making him grind his teeth!
http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3180255

UPDATE #2:  What Tim Schafer thinks of Bobby.  Of course, they have history, i.e., a lawsuit.
