Now that Battle.net 2.0 has launched, let's get a thread going with everyone's ID so we can create a Sharkys group.
My ID is EnderWiggin.
Slacks is the name but I think you need to add ppl with their email address. I will post mine as soon as I figure out how to spoiler tag my addy. Nevermind you need char name and code.

If you disable RealID then your friends with RealID enabled are removed from your friend's list. What are you guys doing? We need to either all go RealID or all go without.
I vote we go without realID to stick it to blizz :p
Wow...that sounds fairly stupid. Blizzard should allow a user to selectively choose who has access to their real id info and who doesn't.Quote:

Wait... I can't add non-realid friends to my list? That sounds like the opposite of what I read.
EDIT: Confirmed, you can keep Real ID enabled and add people based on character. When doing this, you only see their game name in your friends list, not their full name.
EDIT2: I am Kamakazie 595
The friend system is pretty whack so far. I have real id enabled. Click the friend icon, then add friend to see your char code on the right. You need char name and code to add peeps.
If you add by email you'll add them as a Real ID friend that spans multiple games. Downside? They'll know your real name.Quote:

Dunno, but I don't have a problem with it, I'm not going to be giving that email out to random people anyway.Quote:

The beta matchups were pretty diverse when I played... I blame the campaign for the extreme amount of Terran.Quote:

Enabling Real ID grants access to the advanced social features of Battle.net, including chat across different games. If Real ID is activated, the real first and last name associated with the account (your real name or your child’s) will be visible to others. Please note that deactivating Real ID will remove your Real ID friends from your in-game friends lists. For more info, visit our Real ID page.
You probably see only the sub accounts but not the master realID. So if I have x amount of SC2 accounts under my readID, but have realID disabled, you can still friend those sub accounts. However you probably have to friend them all individually. Thats my guess anyways.Quote:

Near the end of beta lots of people were playing Terran. Mech is awesome against zerg, and bio w/ghosts is outstanding against Protoss. Some were complaining that Terran may be a bit over powered, but I don't know. In the King of the Beta tourney a Zerg player won.Quote:

Went 2 - 3 and got placed in bronze where I belong.
Taggart man I love you man but please stop trolling and bashing the SC2 threads until you get it. Please.

Surprised nobody's mentioned the Facebook integration yet. If you let SC2 log into your Facebook account, it will search through all of your contacts and tell you who has a Battle.net account, prompting you to add friends. Pretty cool.
Sorry it sounds like a I'm trolling, but i'm honestly interested on how this works and I'm just offering my opinion. I'f I'm right or wrong on anything, please feel free to clarify.Quote:

Does that work regardless if realId is enabled?Quote:

I trust the people that I will give my name to, but that is not even necessary as the character name and code works perfect.. Will check the facebook thing and let you know.
It's a Real ID feature, so no. Why would you disable Real ID though?Quote:

Click the friend icon, then hit add friend, your char code on the top right.Quote:

People will not see your real name unless you add them (or they add you) via email address. With RealID enabled you still have the ability to add friends via in-game name+code and you will see them and they will see you by that name. There is no reason to disable the feature unless you don't want anyone to add you by email.Quote:
