flowercivic Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Would this not already be an available function with Origins? Add folks as friends on your Origin panel and you should be able to chat with them no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you play WoW? Real-ID in that game let you choose. You put in your friend's real name, and then the both of you were connected regardless of server or faction. If you didn't want to put your friend's real name there you could just put the game name and go on like usual. There was no harm to this system whatsoever. I used it for my real life friends. I miss it now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckroll Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I can't believe people are objecting to Real ID. You should only need privacy if you have something to hide, guys. My landlord told me that when he came to install the CCTV camera in my shower and he is a pretty smart guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rezelius Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) A system similar to what CoH/CoV uses with their Global chat handles would be perfect. That way I don't have to /friend every single one of my friends toons. Just /gfriend their Global name (@Rezelius for instance) and then I can chat with them across servers and see when they're online, whichever toon they're using that particular instance.

Darth_Gao_Gao Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 why exactly do you need this system? i don't understand why you are having trouble coordinating with friends outside of game, and am pretty sure this is a troll thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tahana Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Only if it is tied to peoples real names when they post on the forums.. (no troll, but i'm getting tired of them) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flowercivic Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Implying origin isn't spyware Hmm, it's installed on your machine when you install this game, and it's tied to the very login you used to get into this game. You choosing not to use the software after it's already installed on your machine, and you have an active account with them is a choice you made, but the option is there for you.

Fredcat Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) Absolutely not. It's just amazing how the facebook generation doesn't understand the value of privacy and your personal information in general. You'll learn. Eventually you will meet someone who was stalked, had their identity stolen, or lost their job because of social networking. There's already several ways to see what your friends are doing, texting and vent to name just two. Edited January 20, 2012 by Fredcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone else can be usual friends on a friends' list. No harm, no foul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chromiie Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 My understanding is RealID ties all your characters to your real Identity...which I don't particularly want...I still like my privacy thank you. You don't understand then. You can add people to your friends list two methods in WoW and you don't have to show your name. Method 1. You just add the characters name and your done. Method 2. You add the person's email and that is how they can see your real name. http://us.battle.net/en/realid/faq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glowrod Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I don't think the full WoW version of RealID is what is needed. I just want an ability to have friends be account wide. I could care less about email addresses. It would work something like this: Me: Add Jonny to my Global Friends list Jonny: Glowrod as requested to add you to his global friends list. Do you accept? (Y/N) Me: Jonny has accepted your global friend request. You can now chat with him regardless of which character, faction or server he is on. /woot Edited January 20, 2012 by Glowrod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lsya Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 In the year 2012 things like real ID's, ...... are really must haves. I love that mindset. Combine RealID in online games with Facebook, Twitter, and other systems people use to expose their lives online makes my job as an investigator much easier. Oh...and GPS tracking on your smartphones. I love that one (mine's disabled of course). Thank you for telling the world about yourself. I really appreciate the information. Of course, all of the stalkers out there appreciate it too. That's why I never use those systems myself. If RealID came to this game, I would quit immediately. Seriously, those who feel that systems linking your real life into your online life are "must haves" need to seriously stop and think about what you're doing. No, I'm not paranoid. I dig into people's lives for a living (legally), and see the good and bad in people. It's frightening to see what people expose about themselves to complete strangers. And trust me...there are some bad people out that gathering all of this information as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
