It will not install for me.
It keep saying to install playonline which is already installed.
Anyone any idea about this?

[ShadowHeart]

maybe tomorrow they will give us the message that test server had emergency maintenance and should be up in 1-2 weeks XD

Just a warning for the inevitable people who will miss this. One of the requirements:

You have purchased and registered all released expansion packs, add-on scenarios, and battle area add-ons;

• " FINAL FANTASY XI: Rise of the Zilart"
• " FINAL FANTASY XI: Chains of Promathia"
• "FINAL FANTASY XI: Treasures of Aht Urhgan"
• "FINAL FANTASY XI: Wings of the Goddess"
• "FINAL FANTASY XI: A Crystalline Prophecy"
• "FINAL FANTASY XI: A Moogle Kupo d'Etat"
• "FINAL FANTASY XI: A Shantotto Ascension"
• "FINAL FANTASY XI: Vision of Abyssea"
• "FINAL FANTASY XI: Scars of Abyssea"
• "FINAL FANTASY XI: Heroes of Abyssea"

Not sure why the 3 add ons before Abyssea are required to be purchased. My system probably has all of that stuff updated anyway and just needs to be bought and unlocked... sooo I'm out. I'm not going to buy those add ons just to test stuff. Have fun everyone else, though ;o

Same reason I can't do it too :/ only missing ASA

Probably a typo/mistranslation in the requirements, but they also state you must have a job above level 90. (It's probably supposed to be "at or above level 90", or else there's no point in opening the test server applications now.)

Is that what that POL update was for? Just to add the test server button?

It's pretty pathetic that they put those crappy story add-ons as a requirement. I would understand if perhaps they decide to expand on that content but if they have no plans of adjusting those story add-ons they shouldn't be required. After the first one I didn't bother with the other two.

As for abyssea I can understand those being required since for one it is decent content and they have been adjusting the content so it makes sense why they would need it. Though I'm quite confused of the other requirements. It just feels like they are using this as a method to make money unless they note that they plan on adding on to those stories to make the content as worthwhile as abyssea.

Due to ultimate collection (prior to the abyssea one) shouldn't most people have those anyway?

I agree, it's stupid that in order to utilize the test server to test new content you need all content registered and accessible to you. >.>

Like really? It's not SE's fault if you chose to skip it, lots of others bought it.
