I just updated my NA Rose client to get the latest STB files and stuff.
On their news page they have a download of a new open test server so i figured what the heck and downloaded it.
After installing it and running the patcher i thought I would see if it would let me log in. Bear in mind here that I haven't played NA Rose for a couple of years now so i was kind of surprised when it allowed me to log in and play the game on version 145 test server.
The message here is that if you have a lapsed NA Rose account, go and DL their open test server and play on on for free using your old characters from your paid account.
PS VFSNextgen opens the VFS files from this test server just fine so it should be pretty easy to get their updated items, such as they are.
