Real ID Appear Offline option on the back burner for now
One of the questions we get asked fairly often in the Queue and other places is "Is Blizzard working on an 'appear offline' feature for the Battletag/Real ID friend's list?" I understand the desire for the feature: Sometimes I don't want to have everyone I know see that I'm online because I just want to chill and do something small-scale or by myself.
Sadly, it seems that feature is currently having some troubles being realized. According to Lore, it's hit some technical difficulties.
@ellgar3 @Celestalon We ran into some severe technical and systemic hurdles that resulted in it being put on the back burner for now.

I'm fairly sad about this, and I hope they can eventually solve those difficulties and get this into existence ASAP.
