First off DO you have the test server icon to open the pacth window. If yes then you simply load it like you would the regular game wait for it to patch and then make sure you copied your charcater, (if you have more then one choose which one or do all of them and then hit select and load.
If you do'nt have the server downloaded on you r copmuter you'll have to download it from the site on the main page where it says External Test Server access (or something to that impression) dwonload it and follow the instructions that are on that link of the page.
If you get an error, like I did you'll have to manualy do this.
All you haveto do is this.
1. Find where you first installed the game on your computer, normally default was on you local disk which is your c drive your hard drive.
2. Go into the folder that says Monolith.. Something or other open it.
3. You should find a folder that says "The Matrix Online." Highlight it by clicking once with your mouse.
4. Hit "Ctrl" hold it and hit "C" on your keyboard. (this action will copy your game as it is right now.)
5. click off into the folder into any part of the white section of the screen. This action will unhighlight that folder.
6. Hit "Ctrl" again and hold it again, this time hit "V" on your keyboard. This action will paste that same folder right next to the original game folder it should read something like "Copy of the Matrix Online" or something very similar to that. That part is done.
7. Now if you have windows XP simplyclcik on your START button and select Notepad. And the notepad program will open.
8. Now higlight the part thats says. Don't mind the webpage part you do'nt need to open it it's part of the file you'll need for the TS.
AuthServerDNSName = "testlogin.thematrixonline.com"
PatchServerDNSName = "testpatch.thematrixonline.com"
PatchNotesURL = http://thematrixonline.station.sony.com/patch_notes/test.vm
9. With the Notepad open do the same thihng as you did with coping the folder and pasting the folder for the game. This will copy the top part that says the Auth server and stuff into it.
10. No go to file and save.
11. A window will opne that asks you where you want to save it. You will want to find the location that you have the copy of yor game.
12. Open that COPIED FILE and in the part that says about what to name the file type this -"useropts.cfg" do'nt mind the qoutation marks
13. Depending on your computer it may give you a warning IGNORE it. I got lucky it didn't warn me or anything.
14. Now that this is all done click everyhint off and go the file that you copied. And look for the file or icon that says launcher.exe.
15. Right click on that icon and select create short cut.
16. Drag this short cut to your desktop and open it like you would the original game. You are now set. If you have any quetions. Ask them on a reply on here I wil check back to see if you need anymore assistance.
