Battle.net Accounts Becoming Mandatory For WoW
An anonymous reader tips news that Blizzard will be requiring all World of Warcraft players to use Battle.net accounts to log into the game starting on November 11th. After that time, players who don't switch will be unable to play the game. Some time after the transition is complete, players will be able to "participate in cross-realm chat in World of Warcraft, create real-life friends lists, and communicate across different games." More details on the new Battle.net and what it will do are available in our Blizzcon wrap-up and interviews from August. Naturally, the idea that the new Battle.net is getting closer to deployment has sparked speculation that the StarCraft II beta might come along soon.
When a guy is selling you crack, you don't complain that his apartment is dirty. He can pretty much slap you in the face and you'll still come back for more.
You might complain, but you probably won't say it to his face. And you'll still go and buy the crack.
