I just want to play the game, but since the servers are still being worked on, it would be nice to be able to pay offline then sync or copy that character to online once the servers are fixed.
Is this doable?
No.
Offline characters can be edited.
dang 
Makes sense though, given all the tools available for modding games.
Well, I’ve always played the game solo anyways, maybe I’ll just do pure offline from now on.
