Keep in mind that on the official material you will see a item called DCI number which you can get after you use your character in a FLGs store or a public convention. As long as you follow the rules listed in the Adventurer's League Player's Guide you can level your character in home games or online games and still use that same character at official live events. You'll even still be able to use the magic items you acquired. Just make sure your Adventure Log is filled out correctly and that you are only playing in adventures sanctioned by for Adventurer's League organized play.

As a player you are not required to own or purchase anything in order to play. Just be on time and be courteous with other players, and have fun! Online DMs will need to own a copy of the AL sanctioned adventure or get a copy from their FLGs store.
