  • Accounts Banned (Aug. 27)

    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.

    Based on the results of our investigation, around 6570 PlayOnline accounts were terminated while around 390 accounts were temporarily suspended.
    Additionally, we have increased the number of mass bannings against certain PlayOnline violations in order to prevent illegal acts.

    Details of the violations are as follows:

    - Usage of tools that allow enhanced character movement.
    August 27, Approx. 120 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.
    August 23, Approx. 70 cases

    - Using cheats to automatically repeat a particular action.
    July 26, Approx. 420 cases
    August 2, Approx. 260 cases
    August 9, Approx. 400 cases
    August 23, Approx. 1300 cases

    - Gil and item exchange for real world money.
    August 27, Approx. 440 cases

    - Instances of areas or monster monopolization.
    July 26, Approx. 970 cases
    August 9, Approx. 1760 cases
    August 23, Approx. 220 cases

    - Usage of synthesis and auction houses for RMT activities.
    August 27, Approx. 1000 cases

    The termination of these accounts has led to the removal of approximately 2.6 billion gil from circulation.

    We would like to remind players that as well as adversely affecting game balance, the use of third-party tools or cheats can also have consequences that are not immediately obvious, such as introducing damaging viruses, and comprising 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.

    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.

    If we don't like something, collectively, if our hatred for it throbs like an abscess beneath every thread, does that mean that they're doing something right?

              This is the first time they've specifically listed RMT crafting as a category of banned accounts, if I'm not mistaken.

              That's about 31 cases per server, and probably affects the market for shihei, sushi... perhaps Reraise items?

                No they've done it before. At least the last few banstick swings.

                Maybe my venom bolts will sell now.
