D2 Blizzard statement regarding Diablo 2 Resurrected launch issues

Exactly what I feared. We dont have true offline singleplayer. Otherwise, how can one explain that offline characters dissapear, which is directly related to online character names...

Dont want to sound ungrateful, because graphically, VV nailed it hard. But singleplayer is one feature that we must have.
