Why do WoW trials have no access to Real ID ?

[Dax]

While Diablo trials do ? We don't pay for any of them. It's just trials, but Diablo has access to Real ID and no WoW. Why does Blizz make this illogic choice ? Will MoP make it change ?

My f2p has access to realid... well i cant see them online but they can see me

 

[Dax]

Yep, we can't receive their messages too. That's the problem !

Because Realid is amazing and one of the best features they have to offer. I think it'd be a lot to give away when their main motivation for f2p is to attract paying customers

Because blizzard wants our money

Blizzard wants our money if we play Diablo trial too, but there Real ID is enabled.

My guess would be that the Diablo trial was a guest pass, and it doesn't make much sense to guest someone if you can't talk to them in any way shape or form.

Its an account-wide friends list that lets you talk to and group up with people on other realms for dungeons/raids/BGs.
