About Action Taken Against Third-Party Tool Users (Oct. 19)

[Uzor]

Today, a number of accounts which were confirmed to have violated the user agreement by using unauthorized third-party software tools within FINAL FANTASY XI to enable abnormal in-game movement were discovered and have been suspended or permanently terminated.

Based on the results of an investigation, over 1,400 PlayOnline accounts have been either suspended or terminated on Oct. 19, 2006 for the malicious and intentional use of these third-party tools.

We would like to take this time to remind our players that the use of any third-party tools will not only destroy the in-game balance, but will also encourage RMT (real money trading) activities. We will continue to take strict actions against those individuals that we have confirmed to have used such tools.

Please note that some of these third-party tools may cause character information to be altered, erased, or personal information to be leaked to unwanted third parties. If you come across a third-party tool over the Internet, we ask that you please refrain from the download of such a tool, no matter how minor it may appear to be.

If contacting the Information Center in regards to this action, please be aware that the PlayOnline Information Center is unable to discuss, reverse or overturn decisions made by the Account Admin. The PlayOnline Information Center will only be able to discuss the length of time a suspension will last after proper account verification.

To ensure our customers could enjoy the game safely, we will continue to apply measurements to combat these third-party tools and violations.

We thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.

I've never really seen RMT use FleeHak. If they don't start going after claimbotting, then the RMT will never dissapear...
Yeah, Flee Hacking sucks, you feel like you're a sucker when other people use it, but hell, they gotta go after RMT... I know it's been adressed before, but it's just not what the game was made for..
