Blizzard Stops Plan To Force Real IDs In Forums

[BlueStar]

My brother plays Everquest and ran up to me the other day, saying "You hear what that douche Blizzard is doin now?!". This was a ridiculous idea. How did nobody object in the meeting when it came up??

It ranks up there with 'New" Coke.

I'd think new Coke had a lot more thought put into it. Their Coke sales were slipping, they purposefully launch a new, terrible product, pull it from shelves after a short while, then ship their same old product as "Coca-Cola Classic" which brought back familiarity and a "classic" simulated sense of nostalgia.

The idea that New Coke was deliberately bad as a marketing ploy is one of the most enduring urban legends of all time
