I’ll admit, I was already on the fence about whether to continue playing when Cata came out. I have a guild I lead, and I was interested to see the new starting zones. On the other hand, I’ve killed Arthas, and The Old Republic is on the horizon. Still, I figured I’d reel it back to extreme casual for the expansion, try out the new areas, quest through the new stuff, maybe raid one night a week.
Now?
Fuck ‘em.
Today, Blizzard announced that any posting done on the Starcraft II forums will show your real name. And any post done on the Cata forums once they go live will also show your real name. And I’m not comfortable with being given the option of not posting on the forums or not letting my real name get out there. As such, I’ll ride out my subscription until Cata arrives, or the 15th of October, whichever comes first (likely, it’ll be the 15th of October).
The sad part is?
I’ll be skipping Diablo III and Starcraft II as well. And I’ve REALLY been looking forward to SC2.
