It would be nice if we could get an Offline port of Online characters

Authentication Server is down. Ok, I can’t play online, but I have a specific setup, with specific gear, that I wouldn’t mind doing some test runs off, Offline, while I can’t go Online.

It would be really nice if I could choose to ‘port’ a current local version of my Online character so that I could do this.

Yes, I know, this would require local saves of the characters profiles, but if those were write only, with respects to the online server, it should not interfere with Online game integrity in any way. There likely are some technical discussions as to the viability of this, but I don’t see how this could cause real harm.

Thanks for your consideration.
