Also it's not just the forums, it's everything. Anyone can look you up and find out all your information, even if you've never posted on the forums.

It's just the forums, and there are probably eleventy billion people who have your name so it doesn't really matter anyway. No one is going to be able to look you up unless your parents got really creative (or drunk) when naming you and you also happen to be somewhat famous. I repeat, the forums are the only place where this is required so it can very easily be avoided...How many of us bother posting on the official nexon forums anyway? Is it that hard to use a fansite?

Yes, but you see, if you are for example Juno in game I could just search for Juno on the forums there and find your real name even if you've never posted. But it's not about whether people can get tracked down because of this thing, it's a privacy breach. You shouldn't have to use your real name for everyone to see.

I believe your Real ID will use the ID on your credit card that you use to get billed with.

Yep, that is afaik the only way to get around this.
Man, imagine all the real women playing WoW who don't pay with prepaid cards.
"Oh I see this one is a real girl, Imma run a deep search on her name."
"Cool I have her facebook, twitter, house address, phone number, etc now! - She's a hottie. Dayumn."

Although when you have a problem with your account if you're using prepaid cards, you're going to have to provide legal information and that's difficult to do when you've entered your real name as Duff McWhalen.

Enter a fake name.
I did that when I used to do free NX surveys.

You don't understand what I wrote. If you enter a fake name and something happens to the account you've been paying with prepaid cards for for ages (like getting hacked). Blizzard will ask you some sh!t like proving by using your real life ID that you are indeed "Duff McWhalen", the owner of the account, but your account has a fake name, uh-oh spaghetti-o's.
