Friday morning gossip -- Pac-Man 3D cartoon, Blizzard backing down, and more

Sometimes gossip is news and other times it's just gossip. Rather than let some of this sit for today's daily stale bread, we'll bring you three fresh pieces for your consideration.

Pac-Man 3D Cartoon coming in 2012
Word comes by way of Namco Bandai's Japanese website that a 26-episode 3D Pac-Man series kicks off sometime in 2012. Kotaku's Brian Ashcraft speculate that this is the series currently in development under Marvel's Avi Arad.
Our question: Would you watch it?

Blizzard backs off on RealID
Earlier this week, Blizzard caused a stir by announcing plans to require forum users to post under their real names. This happened before over at Linden Labs with Second Life -- and just like that time, too, Blizzard backed off after a massive outcry from the community. Standby for an analysis story from GamePro on how anonymity affects online communities.
Our question: Would you really stop playing Blizzard games over RealID?

Star Wars: The Old Republic goes into testing phase
We know that Old Republic likely won't arrive before 2011, but we'd brave even the worst beta bugs for a look at the BioWare massively multiplayer online game. Our chance -- and yours -- is right here.
Our question: Would you rather wait for the final product so that the beta bugs don't spoil your impression?

Final Fantasy XIV beta happening now
Another bit of MMO news this morning comes from Final Fantasy XIV's Twitter account (both the English and Japanese versions). The epic MMO is set to begin its beta this Saturday.
Our question: Seriously, how would Move work with an MMO?
