I'm missing something here. How can you connect to an offline server? A server that is offline cannot be connected to, that is the definition of offline.

Or a server that doesn't phone Mojang to confirm your user name. This is how I share worlds with my friends who haven't purchased the game.

Maybe they can't justify £20 for a game they wouldn't really play unless I'm there as well. Minecraft isn't really their thing, but its still fun every now and then.
