The official forums are moving to Real ID, all posts will be identified by your real name (as in your billing information). You can choose to ALSO display a character, but you can't choose not to show your real name.
This does NOT affect the existing forums, but you won't be able to post to them any more.
FWIW, I think that's it for me. I really enjoyed WoW, but this is ridiculous.
