This a good game?Follow

Ok, so i asked my parents for FFXI(don't flame me) and they not wanna give card out then i learned about EQOA's gamecard, so now i wanna try EQOA just want some opnions before i go out and buy Frontiers and a keyboard and a 40ft broadband cable and a game card which all equals about 110 bucks canadain. That is all i need right? With all that stuff I better be good to go! Or do i need a gamecard for the first time i play? a trial would be nice =]. Anyway think this game with that 110 bucks(canadain). The graphics don't look like the strong point but graphics never matter to me(Ok, maybe a little). Yeah, offtopic, I hooked up my Network Adapter and registered it and stuff then tryed the freqency demo, it said please wait while we connect to the internet, then it says connected to internet, then it saids connecting to lobby, then it says connection lost. Same with the football demo game, are their servers just down or is something wrong with my network adapter. I put the ISP settings or whatever on Automatic. Now i scared what if it not work. =[

Think you should repost this on the EQOA forum on this site. This forum is for the PC version of EQ and hence most people won't have a clue what you are talking about ).
