Nope, once they close the servers it's single player (from you disc) only. It should have been designed like D2, and allowed LAN and only go on line if you wanted but they got greedy and wanted it to be a MMO. All the multi-player stuff was kluged in, which shows, and why the game failed. I cold play single player on-line with no problems, but once you grouped up you started getting graphic and game play problems. This game is a good example on how not to design an MMO.
