    Does anyone have the installation files for the Test Server? (Link on the official site is broken.)

    Before anyone says anything, yes, I know that the Test Server is no longer up and running. My reason for wanting to get ahold of the installation files is so I can make a private server with the features of the Test Server (new UI, jumping, etc.).

    Anyway, I'm trying to download the four installation files for the test server listed in the FINAL FANTASY XI Test Client Installation Guide on the official FFXI forums, and it seems like one of the links is broken. I was able to download the first three files just fine (A11203W_001.zip, FFXITC.zip, and FFXITC2.zip), but whenever I try to download the fourth file (FFXITC3.zip), I get the following error message:

    An error occurred while processing your request.

    Reference #172.64ab62d0.1444928115.2d9b57f
    Does anybody know what might be causing this error? Did the file just get deleted or moved on SE's web servers? If so, are the installation files mirrored anywhere else, or does anybody happen to have a copy of the installation files on their hard drive that they'd be willing to upload and share? Thanks.

    The test server is closed and will never revive.

    Test server did not have jumping and the new UI was a shit sandwich. Making it usable would be just as hard as adding it to the retail version. That said, I might have them somewhere.

    Okay, my bad. I could have sworn that someone once told me jumping had been implemented on the Test Server. Maybe I'm just remembering wrong and/or getting FFXI mixed up with FFXIV. ^_^;

    But yeah, if you happen to have the 4th zip file anywhere, that would be great.

    Have you just tried clicking the Play on Test Server button? I did that on mine and it started the download/patching process for it.

    Yeah, when I try to do that, it just says "Unable to start the test server because it is not installed."
