DLCs, the original DLCs will work offline as theya re linked and checked via steam rather than funcom .

I’m aware I made several posts about it back when they introduced it… Here’s one for example

Request: make BP and BLB items useable Offline

I also doubt it’s related, seeing as this is a completely deliberate “Feature” Funcom implemented Basically whenever you try to use anything from BP / Bazaar, an online query is made via Funcom Live Services to see if your account is “entitled” to use the item in question… if not, you get the message. Pretty much overly-protective DRM… nothing more… I did mention in a post in the past that I also think they should revise this decision. While the usefulness is understandable…

As for the EULA part… the EULA is also aware that these are separate as they mention the item shop separately where you especially don’t own anything lol
