I've always loved Stardock games, and deciding to go digital with DAO has given me a chance to try this server! Woo! Looking forward to both. 
Two questions though:
1) Can I play my games offline? I know I have to be online to download the game
After that though, can I go into Offline Mode like with Steam?
2) Will the be a pre-load for Dragon Age Origins? I'd loooove to have it all DL'd and ready to go before the 3d.
Thanks!
