Q u o t e:What makes me supicious about it is that it was in my spam folder. Is it a real email?
Greetings,
We'd like to make sure you're aware of the new privacy options we've introduced to Battle.net®. These options provide Real ID users with additional tools for customizing the service based on their preferences.
Real ID offers an optional, convenient way for keeping in touch with real-world friends you know and trust, whether they're playing World of Warcraft®, StarCraft® II, or one of our future games. The "Friends of Friends" and "Add Facebook Friends" features provide you with even more options to stay connected while you play:
Friends of Friends enables a player's Real ID friends to see the first and last names of his or her other Real ID friends. This makes it easier for players to locate mutual real-world friends on Battle.net and invite these friends to join their own Real ID friends list.
The Add Facebook Friends search tool displays the first and last names of a player's Facebook friends who are also on Battle.net and allows the player to send these friends a Real ID friend request.
The purpose of these optional features is to help players merge and expand their social networks of trusted friends on Battle.net by making it easier to add real-life friends to their in-game friends lists. By default, these features are available and enabled on most Battle.net accounts, but you can easily opt out of any or all of them by managing your Battle.net privacy settings. To modify these settings:
1. Visit [removed link] .
2. Log in to your Battle.net account.
3. Select "Settings" at the top of the page, and then select "Communication Preferences."
4. Under Privacy, you will find three checkboxes:
The first box enables Real ID. Un-checking this box will completely disable Real ID on this Battle.net account, preventing you from using any Real ID features and from sending/receiving Real ID invites to/from other players. If you've previously used Real ID, un-checking the box will remove all connected Real ID friends and remove you from Real ID friends lists you may already be on.
The second box enables Friends of Friends. Un-checking this box will prevent your name (as listed on this Battle.net account) from being displayed to your Real ID friends' other Real ID friends.
The second box enables Friends of Friends. Un-checking this box will prevent your name (as listed on this Battle.net account) from being displayed to your Real ID friends' other Real ID friends.
If parental controls are enabled on the account, then these features are disabled by default. Your parent needs to log in to parental controls to modify these settings.
As mentioned above, Real ID is designed to enhance your social gaming experience on Battle.net. However, we recognize that some players would like to use certain aspects of Real ID while disabling other aspects, or would like to disable the service completely, so it was important to us to offer these additional options as soon as possible. To learn more about the features and benefits of Real ID, visit
[removed link].
Sincerely,
Blizzard Entertainment
