do i need to have SOL on my computer too?

[Maliziosa]

So far I haven't been able to pass the error 1001 after you input your Screen name and Password.. the eqpatcher says that the files are ok to for EQemu.. i have some questions that i hope get some answers..

1- do i need to have all the EQ on my computer? i have only regular EQ and Kunark i didn't install SOL yet.

2- do i need to have an account with sony to play? (i know that it sounds stupid that somebody play for free and want to pay for it too but at this point after almost one week and not been able to connect i guess is worth the try to ask any question even if they are stupid)

3- do i have to be a "Supporter" to reach the servers? i wish i could be one but if you read #4 you will know why i can't be one rigth now

4- do i have to give up trying and keep dreaming about been a Barbarian shaman again since i'm broke thanks to a divorce that i have going on (who has been in that situation knows what i'm talking about) and i can't afford it?

Thanks for any reply i may get...
