I wonder why I - and many others - were so peeved about there not being an offline mode?
What they are doing online adds *nothing* to the game as far as I'm concerned. In fact, many reviews have pointed out problems with trading which are likely linked to the online nature, so even when it works, it is - unless you actively want to participate with others - detrimental. And then there is the fact that it just doesn't work when their servers - so very, very unsurprisingly - go tits up.
How about you start working on that offline mode now Braben, you arrogant tit?
