Need some help ): I installed everything and extracted the files etc., However, Playonline keeps crashing once I enter the screen where you get the options to accept or decline. Anyone have what may be the issue?

Did you get an answer to your question? I recently downloaded the Test Server Client also, and mine crashes too at the same point...

Anyone know how long after an update the test server is down for?
It gets to the point were it tries to connect to lobby server then gives me POL error 3332
No info on the official site about it closing, and I've been on the test server before so i know the files are installed correctly. ><

So just out of curiosity, can you go to test server and come back to your home server?

It's not your character - it's a copy of it, so you can't just get a cool item then bring it back to your server.

Also, SE announced that they're discontinuing support for the test server today (afaik it hasn't actually been live in like 2 months and hasn't gotten a real update in over a year). So you don't have to worry about using it at all.

Odd because they got substantial feedback about job adjustments for 95/99 cap and adjusted many SP2's, Bully, Steady Wing, Meteor etc. Passing job adjustments through the player base was a smart idea but yeah they havent done so in a long time. Maybe in return, they'll simply look at forums more astutely. The thing is by releasing content for players to debug beforehand it saved them time and emergency maintenances. Or perhaps they'd rather monitor balance in the real game in alliance/party scenarios rather than individual players testing new spells/ja solo on test server. Idk.

As a SAM, I prefer the new method for job adjustment.
