		<title>Real IDs on the Forums Rescinded; What Now?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hello everyone, I&#8217;d like to take some time to speak with all of you regarding our desire to make the Blizzard forums a better place for players to discuss our games. We&#8217;ve been constantly monitoring the feedback you&#8217;ve given us, as well as internally discussing your concerns about the use of real names on our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Let&#8217;s Send Them a Message About Real ID</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve had a lot of people tell me Blizzard stands to make tons of money off its progressing Real ID policy. You know what I think? I think they actually stand to lose money off this proposition. As it stands, there are millions of casual players who don&#8217;t have the same attachment to WoW as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are you serious?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The first and most significant change is that in the near future, anyone posting or replying to a post on official Blizzard forums will be doing so using their Real ID &#8212; that is, their real-life first and last name &#8212; with the option to also display the name of their primary in-game character alongside [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blizzard Needs to Increase Privacy Options for Battle.net&#8217;s Real ID Feature</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that the Real ID feature has been implemented on the U.S. servers, I think it&#8217;s time people made their voices heard about the lack of privacy options for the Real ID feature. I think it&#8217;s tragic that such an awesome feature&#8217;s use is undesirable because of the risks involved when it comes to revealing [...]]]></description>

		<title>One Problem with Real ID</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like the concept of being able to add people to see all of their characters and when they are on other Battle.net games. However, what I don&#8217;t like is this: Real ID friends can also see who&#8217;s on each other&#8217;s Real ID friends list, making it easy for players to connect with other people [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on What&#8217;s to Come</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As you may have already guessed, my next project is going to involve videos. For the past month or so, I&#8217;ve been setting up this project.  At the moment, a few technical preparations are still being made. I&#8217;ve done all the basic design work for the site, and I&#8217;ve passed the rough blueprint to a [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Hint of What&#8217;s to Come</title>

		<title>The Future of Lume the Mad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the past few months, I&#8217;ve been doing some soul-searching regarding the MMO industry and how I approach my criticism of it. I&#8217;ve already stated my opinion of the situation in the MMO industry, so there&#8217;s no need to elaborate how much I hope it will change. The real question lies in how much of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Regarding Leaks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not going to deny that information from the Cataclysm alpha has been leaked. It&#8217;s all over the web, including on some very prominent WoW sites. In a sense, it&#8217;s almost unfair to those of us who want to act responsibly to have to endure these leaks. There&#8217;s a lot to say about them, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Regarding the Major Game Systems in Cataclysm</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With so much information regarding classes and systems being revealed by Blizzard, it seems Cataclysm is pretty far along in terms of conceptual development. So I just wanted to take some time to briefly address what has been announced so far. I also want to take the time to express my hopes and desires for [...]]]></description>
