No you can still play online you just can't controll a dedicated server. The benifit of dedicated servers is that they would be running that room 24/7 and ony running that room reducing lag and such.

You however should still be able to host your own games. You would have most of the fuctions as a dedicated server host just a little more laggy for your gusts. Becuase your system as to run the synicng of all the systems and your game pluse any thing you have running in the back ground.

Hope I helped clear it up for you.
