After all downloads do you have to unzip the files or will they are auto unzip?

You have to unzip them and copy them to the Test server folder. Make sure before you copy them you click on it and get the contents inside! I did not copy the files inside the folder and just copied the ffxi folder over and now I can't even log into Pol WTF!

i believe that having XP and drops is necessary in the test server for 2 reasons. they have to test limit break for bugs for one

second they must test to see if the new battlefields (ksnm's) are working properly so must include drops i would think

same with voidwatch 2 new nm's and dynamis area revisions have to make sure drops are working properly

where do i get the software to download the test server?

Think the files are listed after your application has been accepted.

EDIT: If the character you wanna test is not on a level 90 job, the application may tell you that you don't meet the requirements. Just log back into normal ff11 and change to a 90 job ^^

Drops are easy to test, I doubt they will add any. I'm sure people can say if there are though by now.

What could those three cheap add ons possibly have that requires us to have purchased them? Was there any new zones? I'll be waiting for your answer. Until then, you know what I think? I think they're just being eff'n cheap.

To be fair, if you are asking to beta test then you should have the full product. Having said that I do think there is a certain amount of "lets see if we can get them to buy the new full pack...lol" and they will get quite a few sales looking at the popularity of the test server I think.

It's basically XI with a gameshark for many of the...lets say really really casual players (kind of people that don't even have atmas yet, let alone the best gear), they will never want to leave. It's being treated less as a test server and more as a playground akin to old PSO with a gameshark.

Well from a testing standpoint I can see that it helps equalize the field by making sure everyone has the same content data installed on their machines. Aside from that, I can also see that it insures that those who get to participate in the testing are those who went ahead and purchased the entire product. They ARE a company whose purpose IS to make a profit you know. If this bothers you, I don't know what to say.

It isn't like they are charging you extra to have this additional Content ID on the test server you know. THAT would be a money grab.

When you apply your character does that mean I will not be able to have my character back on the regular server? Will I be able to play on both the regular server and test server?

Does my character get transfered over to the test server and will no longer be able to use her on regular server forever or temporarily til the test server stuff is over?

I hope I'm making sense lol
