Don't you just love online-only games with shaky servers? The same exact thing happened with Diablo 3's launch.

Isn't it so that if you play hardcore mode (your character dies permanently), and you disconnect for any reason, your character is considered dead? Online only requirement goes really well for that kind of game mode, where it might be the server that falls offline, and not your PC...

Imagine having that happen to you and somehow having the willpower to do it again. The dark side of playing games for a living.
