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.

Druid PvP Strategy Guide

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.
