  • SE Task force 1 - RMT 0

    Holy crap....

    http://www.playonline.com/ff11eu/polnews/news9098.shtml

    We would like to report the termination today of multiple accounts held by players involved in the usage of third-party tools or cheats, or engaged in RMT (Real Money Trading) activities.

    In relation to the severity of the violation, over 2,500 accounts were temporarily suspended, while over 9,000 accounts were permanently banned.

    Details of the violations are as follows:

    - Usage of tools that allow enhanced character movement.
    Approx. 1,100 cases
    - Usage of tools that circumvent game mechanics with respect to the timing of ability use, etc. in certain areas or at points where Notorious Monsters appear.
    Approx. 6,400 cases
    - RMT-related activity
    Approx. 4,000 cases

    The termination of these accounts has led to the removal of approximately 45 billion gil from circulation.

    We would like to remind players that the use of third party programs adversely affect game balance. Along with affecting game balance, other risks can arise from use of third party programs that are not immediately obvious such as possibly introducing damaging viruses and compromising the security of private account details. Usage of third-party tools will not be tolerated within FINAL FANTASY XI and we will continue to severely penalize any players found to be in violation of the PlayOnline Member Agreement.

    During this round of account terminations, we mainly focused on RMT operations that were active within Japan. However, rest assured that our continued investigations encompass all regions where RMT activity is occurring.

    As we continue to ensure a fun and balanced environment for FINAL FANTASY XI, we hope that our players enjoy the game as it was intended and take care to avoid involvement in activities that violate the PlayOnline Member Agreement.

    Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding.

        Hm...

        Would be nice if someone who's in game could do a quick scan for famous RMT's on their server. Just to see what's actually happened, because they always seem to miss the big names and just weed out the mules/lesser RMT.

        Can't wait until I log on to see people in LS chat saying "they haven't really done anything" though... always the same every time something is done.

          Some servers are reporting that their entire sky gilselling crew got the ban stick. Legit ls are actually managing to camp Ulli.

            Did a quick scan of Castle Oz to see if some of our standard RMT are there. Notta single one. Thanks to a particular keeper, I can check the more well-known ones to see if they're on or not. So far, looking very good.

              Going to apologize here to Kristeena since I can't move this thread to the front page. Going to close this and provide a link to a cleaner one in the News section, though.
