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 4700 PlayOnline accounts were terminated while around 750 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.
June 28, Approx. 250 cases
July 5, Approx. 230 cases
July 12, Approx. 150 cases
July 19, 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.
June 28, Approx. 10 cases
July 5, Approx. 5 cases
July 19, Approx. 30 cases
July 20, Approx. 5 case

- Using cheats to automatically repeat a particular action.
June 27, Approx. 300 cases
July 5, Approx. 360 cases
July 12, Approx. 550 cases
July 19, Approx. 240 cases

Gil and item exchange for real world money cases:
July 24, Approx. 350 cases

- Instances of areas or monster monopolization.
July 3, Approx. 450 cases
July 10, Approx. 1060 cases
July 12, Approx. 740 cases
July 19, Approx. 600 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.

So 2.6 Billion gil across 33 servers? That's only 800k a server. :S

Because having a small army of players ready already assembled in alliances with claim bots and other misc hacks, who can play 24/7, doesn't give you an advantage?
 
I'm not complaining. Seeing the decreasing amount of gil being removed from the system could be a good sign, as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully they'll eventually pack it in and go gold farming in WoW since they're having a harder time of it in Vana'diel.

Keep killing off those fishbots, boys.

It's not really fair to talk about most endgame linkshells on this server like that. :]

Your math as stated earlier is way off. 800,000 x 33= 26,400,000.

Where as 2,600,000,000 / 33 = 787,878,878.79. Which means almost 800 million gil was removed per server.

I believe it was an honest mistake.

800k was meant to be 800m
 
It didn't seem that way when he typed it. He said "only 800k". I don't know about you, but I wouldn't say "only 800m". Either way I didn't flame him for it. I thought I just corrected the math.
 
I should've checked his math before making my comment, but I'm still doing the happy taru dance about more botters falling by the wayside.
