The Test Server and You: A Guide
I saw Draylo on the test server today and nearly swooned :3
is there a reason to even go back to your main server anymore?... seriously though, the AH's are empty but im sure they will fill up... you can essentially do anything on the test server, plus you have unlimited merits, unlimited funds, and are 95... have access to weapons and gear galore to start too... idk, wat do you all think?
Its essentially a "private server" hosted by SE now, only not quite everything is available.

Anyone wanna team up and do stupid stuff that you'd never do on real server? XD
I've always wanted to do this ever since crappy private server projectxi back in the day... but most people I know are still have issues with getting it running or don't qualify because they play on lolxbox360 :( cross-server ffxiah ballista fun? XD and you know.. maybe some testing of stuff too.. ;D Does anyone know if NMs work the same on the test server? like pop NMs and lottery spawn ones?

I popped a few random abyssea NMs this morning before I passed out, it worked fine, I brewed Lacovie with Wildfire just for luls Phoenix.Degs said: » Bismarck.Faelar said: » Its essentially a "private server" hosted by SE now, only not quite everything is available. Limited to anything you can store with the Storage Slips (which is a lot of stuff, and you can get ALL of it from the GM Moogle), WOE +2 weapons, the LV89 job specific weapons, the +3 Stat Earrings, +7 Stat Rings, and AF3 accessories. Anything else has to be carried over with your character when its copied to the server. This is plenty to play with of course :D Just remember you don't get to keep any of that stuff if SE shuts off the server.

I even went into Limbus lol. The AH are functional. The only problem I foresee with people investing time into this, is the fact that there may be a wipe at any time to erase anything you may have gotten. Windower work with this yet?
Yeah someone made a post in the other thread.

Have you ever been on an MMO test server before? They will wipe, and often.

It is just a test server, not meant for you to play on forever. So don't get used to it.

"I can do anything I want to on this server, but man, it's such a hassle to reset everything."

Nah, I'm done now, srsly though, since none of the stuff you do on the test server gets transferred to your normal game, why bother spending all that time on it when it could be wiped without any notice?
I'd love to play with all the stuff I wouldn't try getting through normal gameplay. And as the trade-off is minimal compared to the reward... I think you'll just have to deal with it if that's the way they do it. Asura.Sandolphon

Its fun to play around with. Yes. But its not meant to replace the game. The whole point of playing FFXI is for the adventure, the journey, not the destination. Don't get me wrong, I plan on hitting up that test server for a while, doing some things with gear I was never able to get. But...honestly, how entertaining could this be? Maxed out characters with the best gear...you'd have nothing to do. Thats just my two gil. /toss |
