If your name is displayed, what does that tell people? That you play a game? Only if you misbehave will this reflect badly on you. It's not as if they give away your address and all kinds of personal info.To give only one example... there are gay guilds in World of Warcraft. I can only suppose they will simply cease to exist, or never use this service at all, because being outed to everyone within six degrees of Kevin Bacon, with their *real identity*, is a serious issue.
Some people really, really like their internet anonymity. Sure, it's a mixed blessing. But there are very real consequences to ending it that are not restricted to those who "misbehave."
