The Test Server and You: A Guide
As far as I'm aware that's a known issue, the links are correct but the files they give are not. I'm not sure how others from EU got around it.

Well I got the 3 TC zip copied into the directory....updating now....hope it works this time....would be 3 times trying
Got this from another eu user but the first link as been turnic so its invalid and unable to find the right file name for it.
EU http://wdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/prev...11204W_001.zip http://wdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/preview/EU/FFXITC.zip http://wdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/preview/EU/FFXITC2.zip http://wdl.square-enix.com/ffxi/preview/EU/FFXITC3.zip Found it the first one is a U11204W_001.zip Cerberus.Wolfshadow

I got the red box instead of shortcut on pol error w/ error code etc and just went the long way around and managed to get to the play on test server button
dl'ing the update for ffxi on pol viewer now should I expect any more ***to hit the fan? I don't know how much more I can take I really hope someone finds a way to get Windower (and possibly even KParser) working with the test server. That'll make it the most effective for testing.
As for the Moogle2 problem: I fixed it by: 1. Uninstalling Test Server Client 2. Deleting "Final Fantasy XI Test Client" in Program Files (x86) 3. Running setup in the AWxxxxxx folder 4. Copy+pasting "ffxi" from "temp" folder to "Final Fantasy XI Test Client". ("ffxi" should come from using WinRAR to extract all 3 image zips at once) 5. Running game and doing version update 6. 9000 damage ukko's fury @_@ yo quiero Ukon Offline

There's been claims that you can use windower on the test server but I haven't tried any my self....nor seen anyone confirm otherwise :O
Quote: The UK version of the readme file mistakenly refers to a US version filename, "A11203W_001.zip". The correct filename is "U11204W_001.zip". quoted from Known Issues with Test Server Does this even help anyone? Offline

Well seems to went smoothly this time...and no Japanese talk it appears :)
Hmmm, where do you get the full af+2 sets? I've only tried the GM moogle and the porter moogle (both in MH) and they don't have any of those items...the GM moogle only has toolbags for ninjutsu spells, rings, and earrings.
For me anyway. *EDIT* Also, I don't have Holy 2...I did the whole "learn all spells, rolls, etc..." but I seem to be missing a few things. *EDIT again* Seems I just had to ask for all the spells and whatnot again...so now I have Holy II and all of that jazz but still no ability to obtain AF3+2 sets Offline

Someone mentioned trading stoarge slips to the MH porter moogle and then he gives you access to whatever can be stored via that slip...I tried that though. When I trade him a stoarge slip I get these options "Confirm storable items." and "Nothing" /cry Bismarck.Eburo said: » Trade the storage slip to the "Test Moogle" and choose "Entrust all items".

Anyone find a way for it to work on windower?
Phoenix.Kirana said: » Not sure if anyone has found this out yet, but it is possible to get windower working on the test server. I logged into my character on the test server using the vanilla POL login, then opened POL using Windower and logged into the same account. The Vanilla login got disconnected and the Windower login gained access to the "play on test server" button. I haven't tried it. Right now, I'm just using the built in "windowed mode" for the ability to alt+tab BUT now that I finally have the +2s I'm going to try the above. Offline

I don't know what I did but after being on test server for about a 1 hour (doing T4VWNM) i log back on Windower and it gets me the option to play test server......
Edit: I click on test server and it actually went through however when I back out of it (to go back to POL) the option wasn't there anymore.... Maybe you have to be on the test server a little bit for it to linger onto windower? Sorry if this has been posted already :/ I checked back on the previous pages for any answer and couldn't find it so sorry ahead of time if this has been answered BUT:
Okay at first this is what I did: Installed and started up setup BEFORE doing the other zips and putting them into another location then moving them to TEST directory like OP said to. POL crashed when I tried to enter into the test server. I figured it wasnt working because I was a retard and didn't read before I installed. So I uninstalled. This is what I did after the above failed me: I downloaded all zips to a desktop folder I named (FFXI Test Zips), after all zips were unpacked (using Power Archiver Personal use version) I followed the OPs instructions to the very finest. I moved the FFXI folder to the directory which was still default just like OP listed by simply right clicking and selecting COPY and PASTE when I had the proper destination window open. Took about 35 mins for VISTA to copy all 9 gigs of files. So if thats not what OP said to do then that where I messed up. Anyways setup was smooth, POL updated fine, FFXI updated just fine, then when I clicked FINISH on POL updater to enter the test server it goes to windowed mode (POL's Ghetto one, I figured out how to configure it easily enough under US Tools) it goes black and Windows says POL encountered a problem and needed to close. I attempted this 4 more times before I thought, HEY maybe its a ADMIN issue (like I have with Windower) so I turn off UAC and still doesnt work. I restart my PC and try, still doenst work, I right click the TEST SERVER pol and click "Open as Administrator" still doesnt work. What am I doing wrong!? >< Thanks for any help I can get and sorry this is so long and full of whining if its something simple I'm going to feel like an idiot.

I don't know how much more I can take Thats what my POL looks like. RED box where shortcut crystal should be. If you hover over it, it says ERROR ARRAY at the bottom.
