You do need to patch to live. Patching will update the necessary files to play on the emu. Without the current ones, you won't be able to play. You might be able to get by without dling all the additional stuff (advanced). If you don't download the extra files, you will be somewhat limited on which servers you can play on though. Sorry, but there's no way around patching..... :(
