So your advice worked sorta, I was not able to get the Activation message again, not sure why, so I connected to the server and immediately the update started to download and verify so I hit the block button but it still downloaded when I went to go open RPH, what do you know, Sorry you have a newer version of the game blah blah, but it also said that I had backed up the older version which I had , and did I want to restore it, hell ya I wanted to, so I chose that option it magically extracted the old version and saved my butt! I proceeded to play offline and no issues. so the only way it worked for me was to allow the update and re-activation and to revert to the old version, otherwise the block appears to have not worked, well at least I can play offline again. Thanks for the hot tip.
