Blizzard official forum to promote real-name introduction of the player dissatisfaction

Recently, Blizzard announced that it will be in its official forum to implement the real name, the move caused a global audience uproar.　　The following sorted out the incident and expert analysis.　　Blizzard also harmony official forum will carry out real-name display ID more play network (compile/wendy) Blizzard Entertainment in the War Network Forum issued a notice on the user name display, this is quite astonishing, will show the real ID the real name of the player.　　Interestingly, according to the development team, forum physical attacks are common, and blizzard forums are the first layer of defense in the new system, so it is necessary to remove anonymity and build a more harmonious forum.　　In the buddy list, the real ID buddy will show up under his or her real name, with any role he is using, it is not clear which character is playing will be the past, when talking to a real ID friend, talking in a game, or watching his/her profile will show the person's real name. The Forum's notice is as follows: In the near future, the forum will make the first change is the post or the reply will use the Real ID namely real name, can choose to display the game in the next the main role name.　　The changes are also being implemented in the StarCraft 2 Forum and the World of Warcraft website, and some of the classic forums including the War Network Forum will not change. A strong reaction to the real name of the war network Blizzard said it would consider player feedback to play the network (compiler/wendy) "World of Warcraft" and "StarCraft 2" developers Blizzard recently announced that will be in the official forum of the mandatory system, forum posts and respondents will display their real names, The decision drew intense attention from all sides and heated discussion, and Blizzard said "it will certainly listen to feedback from players." "We'll keep a close eye on how people use the service," said a blizzard spokesman. "The real-name real-name game is a whole new, completely different concept for blizzard, and our goal is to provide a social gaming service." "Real-name systems are now available for World of Warcraft and StarCraft 2, and players can use it to add friends."　　The new system was intended only as a demand for the network Community forum, and later this month the StarCraft 2 Forum will also use the real-name system, and the World of Warcraft Forum will be in the "Cataclysm" expansion package after the launch of the name. Blizzard spokesman "There is a point must be noted that whether the real-name in the game or in the forum is completely optional, the player can browse the forum anonymously, the game will not be used without the real name to affect any game experience." The player adopts real-name system can also achieve parental control. "When a player registers a real name, it can fill out any names, but a game's account must be tied to a special cdkey, and Blizzard plans to try to enforce a legal name." Blizzard said, "We have a lot of teams monitoring forums and checking illegal names, and when things change, our community representatives or customer service representatives will investigate and decide whether to take action." In addition, weThe terms of use require the player to provide accurate information, because some services such as users forget the password we need to send him/her password, etc., if the player uses a false name, this will certainly affect our provision of timely service. "American scholar said:" Blizzard Forum real-Name system under the pressure of South Korea to play more network (compile/applies) when Blizzard announced that it will be in its official forum to implement the real name, causing a global audience uproar.　　Oliver Day, a Harvard scholar and former network security advisor, said the South Korean cyber-real-name law, introduced last year, forced Blizzard to finally make the decision.　　Oliver Day believes that Blizzard's new policy will force participants in the forum to expose their real names, and it is generally difficult to understand what blizzard is trying to do, and Blizzard has not made timely and necessary communication about why they are making the change. Oliver Day cited Google's example in South Korea. In 2009, the South Korean government passed a law designed to curb "cyber libel", which requires the country's Internet users to use the real-name system when speaking on websites that have more than 100,000 internet users every day. The first U.S. company to be affected by this is Google, the South Korean government insists on participating in YouTube video site reviews must be real names published. Google's response is to ban IP addresses for South Korean netizens commenting on YouTube.　　Finally, the South Korean government made concessions and exempted YouTube's real-name comment system. Oliver Day speculates that the South Korean government has realised the magnitude of the popularity of StarCraft among its netizens, and even many believe that StarCraft has become a national movement in South Korea, and that it has even established a professional star League with commercial sponsorship and arena support. And Blizzard does not seem to be able to emulate Google by banning South Korean IP addresses from the law.　　Because once blizzard did so, the huge profits they could get in the South Korean market would be wiped out, and blizzard could not have other sources of revenue like Google.　　So blizzard finally made this incomprehensible business decision. Overseas Belly Black Columnist: against Blizzard by arguing far enough to play network (compiler/drdarknight) today, the foreign website MMORPG's columnist, Jon Wood, brought us a special section, This article on the recent blizzard official name of the forum to take the real name of the players who have been in a calm problem.　　Let's take a look at the following. First of all, I have to say that I understand the overwhelming majority of players on the decision of Blizzard, whether it is the official website forum or a third-party forum like us, the players are obviously against the attitude. But I don't think we can solve the problem by opposing or cursing. In any case, Blizzard is a company that understands the needs of the player, otherwise it is impossible to achieve today's success.。　　So they can expect a large number of players to hate them, or they are not worried about this large area of opposition. The problem is that this opposition is a piece of cake for them. This in the online games industry is also a common situation, players as long as the bad will spray, will scold, will threaten to say: "I do not play anymore" and so on.　　But gaming companies have always been less aware of these, because in the end there is no action to achieve.　　I've talked to a lot of developers about this over the years, but every time I talk to each other, I get the feeling that they're going to let the players complain, but they're going to go for it in the end. This is not to say that development companies do not listen to players at all. In fact, developers have been listening to the player's comments, think of the game in the GM bar.　　But once a company makes a decision like Blizzard knows that many players will be upset, they will do it with determination. Then, my position is as follows: If you don't like what they want to do, then AFK. Don't complain, don't spray, don't freak out.　　Just stop buying a little card, and it would be better if you could write a message to them in an emotional way. Remember, as long as you like the game, no one will force you to play it.　　You can change the game at any time, although this will make you feel that you have invested in the energy and money have vanished, but this is you can really coerce the game company's only action.　　In the end, I would like to ask all the Warcraft players a simple but very important question: Do you really think this is worth the inconvenience caused by the real name and forever away from the World of Warcraft? If your answer is yes, then you have to prove it by actual action. If it's not, then you have to ask yourself, since you're still deciding to play, is it worth wasting your time on something that doesn't make Blizzard's attitude any different? This issue is also suitable for national players. (Heavy edition)
