Around 13270 accounts in violation of the FINAL FANTASY XI user agreement were suspended or banned today.
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 10,920 PlayOnline accounts were terminated while around 2,350 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.
December 21, Approx. 690 cases
January 8, Approx. 480 cases
January 9, Approx. 180 cases
January 10, Approx. 120 cases
January 11, Approx. 170 cases
January 16, Approx. 360 cases
January 22, 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.
January 24, Approx. 70 cases
- Using cheats to automatically repeat a particular action.
December 21, Approx. 1,330 cases
December 27, Approx. 1,200 cases
January 9, Approx. 1,070 cases
January 17, Approx. 1,440 cases
January 23, Approx. 380 cases
- Gil and item exchange for real world money.

- Usage of synthesis and auction houses for RMT activities.

December 25, Approx. 710 cases
January 15, Approx. 1,190 cases
January 21, Approx. 1,310 cases
January 22, Approx. 270 cases
- Accounts from people that were previously confirmed to have RMT connections, or that had violated the user agreements but re-subscribed to PlayOnline.
January 24, Approx. 240 cases
The termination of these accounts has led to the removal of approximately 3.1 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.
