Final Fantasy XI Test Server Updated!

 The official Final Fantasy XI Test Server has been updated, with a heavy emphasis on equipment and inventory! A number of item and config options have been added, ranging from adding an additional page to items with attributes that exceeded the item window to a config option to adjust the music volume when logging in.

In addition to these changes, the next update has been made to Monstrosity, allowing for players to take control of their monsters in several Rise of the Zilart and Chains of Promathia areas, as well as giving "stance" options for a number of monsters.

Let us know what you think of these changes over on the ZAM forums!

From the official Final Fantasy XI forums:

[dev1160] Item Help Text Display Expansion

Certain items will have additional space in which to display help text so that attributes will not have to be so heavily abbreviated.

Should an item's help text exceed the space originally designated, players may view the next page of text by tapping the button to open the main menu while their cursor hovers over the downward-pointing arrow (â–¼) in the bottom right-hand corner of the window.
