WoW (Blizzard, Viveldi) is the testing grounds for this horsesh*t. But it can come back and bit em in the ass too.
All information posted on this site is PUBLICLY AVAILABLE information found online starting with only knowing a first and last name. Which is actually less than you'll have to go by if you try finding out about someone from World of Warcraft, since in-game you may have met them before any know information such as what state they live in, and the FULL NAMES of ALL of their realID friends.

Blogger.com policy on personal information:

Personal and confidential information: It's not ok to publish another person's personal and confidential information. For example, don't post someone else's credit card numbers, Social Security numbers, unlisted phone numbers, and driver's license numbers. Also, please keep in mind that in most cases, information that is already available elsewhere on the Internet or in public records is not considered to be private or confidential under our policies.

This site is not affiliated in any way shape or form with Blizzard Entertainment or Activision. World of Warcraft, Blizzard, and Activision are all registered trademarks of Blizzard-Activision.

NONE OF THESE POSTS ARE THREATS. I've seen people at 4chan and other places saying this site is filled with thinly veiled threats. It's not. I do not wish to see any harm or harassment come to ANYONE listed here, even Bobby. This is purely to say: Hey, this guy (who can afford to pay professionals to keep his personal information private) says that we have nothing to worry about with people knowing our real names. Well, here's what is available on him even after a good internet scrubbing. Here's what's available on just a couple of his employees. There are people out there in much worse situations (witness protection, former abusive relationships, BEING FEMALE ON WORLD OF WARCRAFT, people who don't want to risk losing a job because it's public that they play WoW, etc) that would be utterly f**ked if there was a slip-up and their names were revealed. I don't even care if it's the person's fault or if they have an option. Everyone makes mistakes.

Robert "Bobby" Kotick
The big man at Activision. CEO. The source of all Blizzard's community problems of the last few years. Here's his facebook: http://www.facebook.com/people/Bobby-Kotick/637011873
He's not very open, but his friends and family are.

Big donations to the GOP ($28,000 in 2007, and raised over $200k for Bush!) but makes $1.5 million a year and just dumped a huge amount of his company's stock at the beginning of this year. You know, I'd be selling my Blizzard stock right now too.

You'll see that Blizzard's corporate phone and fax are:
Phone: 310-255-2000
Fax: 310-255-2100
in case you want to politely let them know how you feel. Again, we are NOT going for harassment. This page should be creepy enough without WoW nerds harassing people.

But hey, he's a busy man. He's got a wife and three young daughters, ages 6, 9, and 11. The oldest is Gracie, she likes skiing.

Here's some information on his wife, Nina Jill Kotick (nee Spiegel), age 46, Fordham University '89 (Law), Tufts University '86, Byram Hills High School '82. She used to be a lawyer in New York, passing her NY bar exam in 1990, but later moved with Bobby to CA and got her license in December 1995. With the exception of the time she forgot to pay her bar fees in '99 (Oops!) and her license was suspended, it's been smooth sailing.

If you want to reach her, try (310) 255-2639, (310) 279-3599, or email her at nkotick@yahoo.com

The beautiful family's current address is either 1010 or 1011 Cove Way. They own or owned both but surely they don't need two houses, do they?
1011 Cove Way, Beverly Hills, California 90210
They spent $171,708 for renovations a few years ago, nice place!
Google Map it

Offices or possibly former home addresses:
701 FOOTHILL RD, CA
11845 OLYMPIC BLVD, CA
3435 OCEAN PARK BLVD #107, CA
715 N Sierra Dr Blvd #107 Beverly Hills, CA 90210

Yes, I am aware. I partook in Blizzards SC2 Beta few weeks ago, and got to use Battle.Net 2.0's 'Real-ID' feature first hand. It's actually no where near as Orwellian as most would think. Also, I am a now 14 years running Blizzard and EA stock share holder. This allows me to get insider information on the products that company's makes, or is planning on making before even most people at E3 know about it. I have revived coder notes, videos, audio disc, etc. all on and about how they built and created Battle.Net 2.0 and the 'Real-ID' system. Yes, you can track your friends online via their B.Net 2.0 account, or via their facebook accounts, or any other social network they have that can connect with B.Net 2.0's "Real-ID' system. There is also a setting in the 'Real-ID' friends list setting, where, you can actually make it so the friends you have on your list can not track your IP, nor can they search for you via socially networking sites, you can set it so they only way they can tell if you're online, is if you're signed into your B.Net 2.0 Account. And believe me, Blizzard/EA have much much better things to do than to sit around and track everyone who's on B.Net 2.0 IP address and 'sensitive information' and supposedly sending it to the government for new additions to their virtual data base. But, thanks for the info, a lot of the stories that involve people disappearing via the internet (WoW account, etc.) are usually results of those people not being very smart, and giving people they only know just by meeting them over the internet, all their information, location, schedule, and so on. I do see your and other people's concerns about things like this, but it is really nothing to waste your energy and information data searching on. What REALLY needs to be worried about and concentrated on is the new 'US Cyber Command', this new wing at the white house needs to be watched like an eagle, like the one on their logo.

From Blizzard/Viveldi/CEO

Hello everyone,

I'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've been constantly monitoring the feedback you've given us, as well as internally discussing your concerns about the use of real names on our forums. As a result of those discussions, we've decided at this time that real names will not be required for posting on official Blizzard forums.

It's important to note that we still remain committed to improving our forums. Our efforts are driven 100% by the desire to find ways to make our community areas more welcoming for players and encourage more constructive conversations about our games. We will still move forward with new forum features such as conversation threading, the ability to rate posts up or down, improved search functionality, and more. However, when we launch the new StarCraft II forums that include these new features, you will be posting by your StarCraft II Battle.net character name + character code, not your real name. The upgraded World of Warcraft forums with these new features will launch close to the release of Cataclysm, and also will not require your real name.

I want to make sure it's clear that our plans for the forums are completely separate from our plans for the optional in-game Real ID system now live with World of Warcraft and launching soon with StarCraft II. We believe that the powerful communications functionality enabled by Real ID, such as cross-game and cross-realm chat, make Battle.net a great place for players to stay connected to real-life friends and family while playing Blizzard games. And of course, you'll still be able to keep your relationships at the anonymous, character level if you so choose when you communicate with other players in game. Over time, we will continue to evolve Real ID on Battle.net to add new and exciting functionality within our games for players who decide to use the feature.

In closing, I want to point out that our connection with our community has always been and will always be extremely important to us. We strongly believe that Every Voice Matters, ( http://us.blizzard.com/en-us/company/about/mission.html ) and we feel fortunate to have a community that cares so passionately about our games. We will always appreciate the feedback and support of our players, which has been a key to Blizzard's success from the beginning.

Mike Morhaime
CEO & Cofounder
Blizzard Entertainment

LOL! if Blizzard = DARPA, I'd be making a hell of a lot more money as a share holder. Oh man, that was a good one, good laugh, thanks. This is pure paranoia, man, plus, the "Letter from Blizzard/Vivendi (and it's actually Vivendi Games Inc., not 'Viveldi). But yes, anyways, this is just paranoia, sorry, but the big bad Blizzard-DARPA monster is not coming to eat you or your interned identification or IP. Go back to worrying about real legitimate things, leave the people at Blizzard alone, they are much too busy to deal with people whom think their new "ID system" is a way of sucking you into the digital identification theft/tracking system/grid. Just calm down, everything is Okay, no need for anymore 5 Article, 35 page long comments, thanks.

"When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness." --Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776
