I do a lot of my DM work offline while waiting for my daughter at various activities. I'm totally offline at that point.All of DDI, not just Character Builder, should be both offline and online to meet customer demand and expectations. It shouldn't be an either / or proposition. And, all of DDI should be constantly kept up to date with features to handle new (now Essentials) rules. For example, the Compendium should be able to sort by rarity of items, just like the online Character Builder can (sort of) do. The Monster Builder should have all 4100 creatures in it, not just 2500.A decision got made at WotC to go online and it was a very costly decision that will probably mean that they have less capital in which to meet customer expectations and to launch even more product. A company lives based on how much quality product they push out the door and how well they satisfy their customers. Only time will tell if the monetary expense of the online only solution will ultimately result in more sales. It seems unlikely at this point, but nobody has a working crystal ball yet.</blockquote>
