don't play it, but it seems stupid.

Not gonna find links, but i know ive read about (real life) murders relating to online games. Providing real names isn't going to be a good idea when someone gets pissed off at someone for beating them in a game...

Two days after starting this real ID program tens of thousands of people had their accounts hacked. I don't know if those two things have anything to do with each other, but it seems suspicious to me.

I theory I like the idea, but I can see how it can be abused.
