I fail to see why a dynamic changing universe of data would be worse than a static offline one. But my comment refereed to playing alone. I prefer solo myself. Too many jerks out there. But in solo I don't need to so I'm content the universe will change and be flexible but the human factor wont give me any grief (pun intended).
You are that opposed to human interaction that even dynamic data caused by others annoys you? I'm amazed you can deal with the forums
That would then be a breach of contract. If you cannot play the game and enjoy the content without being mandated to log in and supply authentication each time, the game is no longer DRM free. They could pack the login details on the disc -technically-, but that's very slippery if they did, and wouldn't permit password changes or whatever.

Not at all - it is easy to read into something what one wants to - it would appear that we read the same thing and can arrive at different conclusions.
Not true. Things done by you in your MMO game will effect my SP game. Example: you are exploring and you discover the "ABC System" it will be updated in my game. Maybe I wanted to discover that terrible system...

All good, and I can understand that (even if I do think it should continue), but it's the (tw-it) bit that did it for me.
And, off-topic, I know, but everyone who's anyone knows that season 2 is the best Blackadder
'Recommended specs are ONLY available for the beta builds'
Enough with this one please, it is irrelevant to the discussion concerning DRM free offline game that was offered, the alpha/beta builds obviously DO require a connection, but that is all the 'current specs' relate to.
If some could only promise me all this mess would end once they get their refund. But I'm pretty sure they'll break it, watching for the slightest defect ED inevitably will have, and emphasize on this and tell us how they were right and 'us' wrong...
It can't be much clearer. Especially with the FAQ answers added.
Then why are you using the reward text to try and make a point?
Thanks, I will, self pity is a minor issue compared to being disappointed.
Please repeat yourself after the tone thank you....beep..........
I think if you mean "will Frontier pull another stunt as bad and big as this again", then I'd say count on it. And if you mean: will people who had 'stop whining' and 'it doesn't affect me so shut up GAWD!' type posts directed at them will be right back on here to point this out, well I think you can count on that too.

You have assumed that the use of the online account would be every time the game was played - that might not have been the case (although we'll never know now) - it may simply have been a one-time authentication of the player's right to play the game via the online account (a bit like a Windows installation).
Nah, it's the Internet, bubba. It no means nothing. ^^

.... because it predated the FAQ answer on offline by some time and referred to (at the time of creation, at least) an online only game.
What tone, can you explain? I just want my money back, because FD is violating KS terms paragraph 4. Even with this change they could still offer the game DRM free if they let us host our own server. But they chose not to, that is a clear violation of the KS Terms. It has nothing to do with game development or unexpected changes.
No offline mode completely killed my interest in this game. I've requested a refund for my beta order.
I don't suffer from the mental deficiency that turns people into drooling, fungus-like, MMO-zombies. All I wanted was the classic, offline Elite experience. I want the universe to stay static when I turn off the game, as I'd probably play a few nights a week at most. With all the trade/universe data changing constantly even in "online single player" it would be impossible to do any kind of forward planning and even make it impossible for the non-zombie to feel anchored in the game due to everything being mashed up whenever you play after being away from the game for days.
What an awful, pathetic bait and switch Frontier pulled here. Just despicable.
I guess Ian Bell was right about David Braben.

No it did not. They changed the pledges to literally say DRM Free after many people asked them about it.
