Due to piracy, Funcom won't make anymore 'offline' games. You have to have an internet connection to connect to a Steam-like service to play their games.

My take? 200,000 downloads does not equal 200,000 happy gamers playing the game all the time and all the way to the end of it. Lots of downloaders download things just to 'collect' things and not play them at all. Geez it's things like this where they take some stats too literally. :(
