I have no intention of using HLO at all at this time.
1) It doesn't support the original Pathfinder.
2) It doesn't support D&D 5E.
3) I will never play Pathfinder 2. I absolutely hate what they have done to races in it. The rest of PF2 is ok, but the feelign I get from tests I have ran and played is that it fells like D&D4E and I hated that game with a cold, hard passion. It's why I went t the original Pathfinderin tyhe first place.
4) Though I have had to slow done due to illness, I love the customization options available in HLC (scripting, homebrew option, etc.) I am nowhere as good as someone like ShadowChemosh, but I tend to hold my own. I just don't see that campability becoming avbailable in HLO.
5) Quite a few places where I run my games, or play, don't have wireless and its much to great an effort to run an ethernet cable to the game room. My mother doesn't even have Internet (shudder), so when I visit I am without except when visiting my sister nearby (not wwithin Internet leeching range).

So far, I still make heavy use of HLC for all my gaming sessions. For only access, where available, I make heavy use of DnDBeyond. They also have an app for my iPad that allows offline access to all my purchased D&D 5E source material. Something that HLO doesn't allow.

The only reason I switched from Pathfinder to D&D 5E originally is my groups mu7ch prefer the simplicity. Those of my players who have played with PF2 took one look at the builder and told me if we play PF again, they want to stay with PF and not PF2.

Watch your back, Conserve your ammo,
and NEVER cut a deal with a dragon!
