We would also like to remind all players that Real ID is a completely voluntary and optional service. Real ID may not be for everyone. If you do not wish to make use of the additional in-game features provided by Real ID, you don't have to.
In order for two players to become Real ID friends, each player will need to add the other as a Real ID friend, something which cannot be accomplished unless the full name and registered email address of the player is known. If two players do not mutually add each other as Real ID friends, neither will appear on the other player's Real ID friends list. Due to this functionality, you can opt-out of the service by simply refraining from adding another player as a Real ID friend.
You can also turn off Real ID friend requests, which will disable message prompts whenever another player adds you as a Real ID friend. To turn off Real ID friend requests, follow these quick steps:
- While in-game, bring up the Game Options menu (default: Esc).
- From there, click on "Interface" and then on "Battle.net."
- Uncheck "Real ID Friend Requests."
If you would like to add other players as Real ID friends, but are currently unable to do so in-game, it's possible that Parental Controls have already been set up for your Battle.net account and Real ID was disabled as a result. For more information on how to manage Parental Controls and re-enable Real ID, please refer to the next post in this thread.
Should you have any questions or concerns related to Real ID that are not covered in this thread, please do not hesitate to create a new topic. Comments, suggestions, and recommendations regarding this new service, however, are best directed to our Suggestions Forum.
