Thank you. I'm on the customer service forum and they are helping me a lot. Apparently I can play this game because there is nothing wrong with the launcher or the game menu itself. I can load up the whole game client without any problems. It's just a matter of connecting to a server.
I actually made some rediculous errors. I didn't know this computer had to be connected to a router. I also had no idea about the concept of opening ports. Some stuff they don't teach at college. Lol.
Anyhow, I am several steps closer to figuring out the problem.
