I was nervous about RealID and was going to avoid it, but one night when playing with real life friends they all decided to add each other. It would have seemed rude if I declined so I agreed. But I really regret it now. Sometimes I just want to get on a character nobody knows about and play on my own. But I can't anymore. Not even on another server.
WOW needs to have an option where you can temporarily opt out of RealID BEFORE you enter a character. Other games I have played had an option where you could choose to have your status listed as off-line even when you were on-line. This (along with turning off friends of friends) could make REal ID a great tool instead a privacy invader.
