In Starcraft 2 in the Player Profile there are two names. The first is my alias, what I appear to be during chat in games/loading screens etc.

The second is my real name which shows under the alias. However this appears to show up in Starcraft 2 chat channels, which I don't really want, I would prefer it show the alias.

Can I either get the chat channels to show my alias, or change wherever the "real-name" is stored to something else? I poked around the battle.net account web page but didn't see anything promising.

ANSWER: Only your RealID friends see your real name

    Are you sure the chat is displaying your real name to other people in the channel? You real name should only be shown to Real ID friends.

  • @Raven - I don't know this for sure, just what it is showing me

    Raven is right, it only shows your real name to those who are your Real ID friends, and only your username to everyone else.

I bet that you're not actually giving anything other than your alias.

    This is correct. Nothing but your alias shows to non Read ID friends.
