I am still not able to connect the Single Player Offline part of the game with the Single or MMO part of the Online game in my head. I can't see how the Whales $$ stuff isn't still unique, because offline does not connect to online and thus there is no dilution of the items. What are they worried about, someone posting screen shots with cooler shit than they have claiming to be in online mode with it? Draw me a picture of this issue, I'm not convinced yet. Lets not use "what they said in kickstarter" because well, yeah, no longer a valid argument for anything they did/do is it! If I understand Tarsilion correctly, it has more to do with paying customers told they had something unique. And in fact, they will not because SP customers won't have to pay for it with real dollars. If you knew an item was available for gold only, in a game, would you have invested as much? I know the 2 games won't interact with one another, which is why I said I don't see the problem either. But when Tarsilion put it that way, I have to agree with him. If you make a promise, you should keep it. Why else would DS be concerned about how the community would react? Imagine his shock when whales were 90% in agreement with him/Portalarium. And he expressed that shock. What whale is going to appear purposefully greedy? They're all going to bow down to Portalarium, yes, m'lord, whatever you think is best, m'lord. And while they're bowing, they get it from behind. You and I know that Tarsilion & I have never been ones to defend the whales. Quite the opposite. But this is business. And Portalarium is showing its deceitful face repeatedly. But what it really boils down to is, they want to save money by not having to develop content for SP Offline.

Ok, so he's corrected me. I wish he would make an account here to speak for himself, but he's very cautious about what might happen to us legally.
What I wrote is part of his issue, but his real grievance is they had no business polling anyone. Because a majority vote in this case is entirely irrelevant. He wrote it on the forum, I suggest you read what he wrote and see if you grasp it. =)

I thought this was cool. Don't think he's anyone here: Lol, I have no idea what the first few seconds of that was. Watching through now. I wonder if this was Sir Tim? There was a Sir Tim on the SotA forum for a while long time ago in an old UO Moderator robe.

If they make people pay for a 'season pass' or something similar, for SP Offline, I think i'd literally shit my pants.

There will be no specail features for single player offline other then some companions(details unknown), the ability to save when logging off(multiple saves unkown at this point), acess to rewards(yes always wanted this.) and the ability to play offline....those are the only features there. So don't hold your breath.
