Changing the code so that no server connection is required is a major
task which I think will change the game. It would be insane code-wise
to support both models IMHO. IMHO this will only be done if a _big_
amount of people want this. And there is the drawback of less/no
interaction. People like this. In short very low chances IMHO.
