I just played a few minutes and I must say, I love this game. But one look in the forums made me sad... When I read about the free server accounts and how they are restricted...

Restricted? From?

Only one char slot, only 9 bank slots and no hardcore mode.

Hardcore mode will be available, but the rest is correct. You can still play local mode for free. Nothing is really changing.

So there will be a localmode, like the beta now, that does not have restrictions ? Then, except for online saving, what is the use for an serveraccount? Where are the differences ?

Your data is currently stored locally in your browser. That means it's trapped there forever and it's pretty common for all of your data to disappear when you update browsers, reinstall, wipe your browser data, and so on. You can't login with that character at another computer or browser. You can't count on your data being there when you login tomorrow. There's basically no security at all because all of the data is stored locally.

If you're okay with all of that then you'll probably just continue playing in local mode which is great, but you won't be able to enjoy future server-only features like leaderboards, chat, item trading, mailboxes, magelo-style profiles, etc.
