    What are they going to do for the developers that are supposed to remain anon?

        George Clooney {Ocean's Eleven}
        George Clooney {From Dusk Till Dawn}
        George Clooney {O Brother, Where Art Thou?}

      They said their employees would be posting under their real names as well.

        Well that is a change in policy.

        I also plan to post under one of their employee name's, or many employee names.

        Once I get a new account and a game card my real name is Rob Pardo.

      What about celebrities? You know, Mr. T, Mila Kunis , Robin Williams... or whichever actor or celebrity plays WoW nowadays, if there are any...

      That would really piss them off, wouldn't it?

      Of course they won't post on the forums and in game only their nickname would show up so my point becomes moot. But still, there might be a celebrity posting and wouldn't want their names plastered on a gaming forum.

        Because posting on a game forum might affect their marketability? But only people reading the game forums are gonna know, until someone in "mainstream internet media" finds out and reports it somewhere on the internet that is, somehow, more acceptable to read about celebrities posting on a gaming forum.
        (I can understand some occasions where rival developers might not want to post)

          The problem for celebrities is that they'll get spammed with all sorts of rubbish when people know who they are on the forums or in game.

            I think having your WoW chars displayed in the new forum will be optional.
