I have backed the game on kickstarter back in 2018 but only played a few hours and then I forgot about it until very recently.
Now I plan to get into it but I am not sure if I should play Online or Offline. Online means possible lag. I especially expect it on the launch week.
What are the advantages of playing online? Is the merchants guild available/useable in offline mode?
I had an offline character but I could still chat with others.
Offline and online will have all the content. The differences are online-only features: chat, trade, grouping, leaderboards and cosmetics.

Cosmetics will not be available for offline characters? I just upgraded my game to ultimate edition T_T

Yeah, I don’t know why it’s still not on the pre-order page, but it’s on steam at least:

Yes. That is because the players asked for a fully offline client that never connects to the servers after the first time. So the client doesn’t know if you have them or not. There are huge threads about this, discussions on piracy, etc. It’s not a clear cut issue, but it’s the way things are for now.

Ouch, I missed that line. I guess I must play online then. Hope the servers will be stable.
It will be at some point xD
Is it voluntarily in Online mode, or the game always finding random players nearby and connects them on the same server instance, like D4?
Towns are MP instances, so you’ll always see people around in towns, like it happens in PoE. However, when you go out to fight you go alone. And when you go to the monolith of fate (which is where you’ll spend most of the endgame) you’re alone there as well.
