User Agreement Violators Terminated (Dec. 20)



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 our investigation, over 7,450 PlayOnline accounts were terminated while over 250 accounts were temporarily suspended indefinitely.

The breakdown for the suspensions is as follows:

- Accounts confirmed using third party tools to illegally move their characters:
400 cases

- Accounts confirmed using third party tools to give an unfair advantage over other
players in order to get claim on Notorious Monsters.
4400 cases

- Accounts confirmed using illegal means to obtain items
100 cases

- Accounts from people that were previously confirmed to have RMT connections, or that had violated the user agreements but re-subscribed to PlayOnline.
2800 cases

The results of our investigation resulted in the confiscation of over 6.2 Billion gil

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.

While we did not include a RMT heading in this announcement, RMT related activities are being investigated by a separate group and we plan to act on the results of this investigation at a later date. With the newly revised policies in effect, our GM teams are not only pursuing the buy and sell of gil, but also the illegal actions by RMT affiliates who seek to control certain areas within FINAL FANTASY XI with the purpose of furthering RMT related activities.

As of Dec. 10, the development team implemented a fix to prevent items from being obtained in an illegal manner. Action has been taken against accounts that participated in these activities.

To ensure that our customers can 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

The BCNM is easily trio'd with two BLMs and a RDM or BRD, just make sure you have level cap gear.
 
All great news. It's nice to see fewer suspensions and more terminations. 400 fleetool users, 4400 vokebot users /goodbye!
 
i have 500, pchan has 900, klop has 300 i think. blm+blm+rdm gogogo.
 
Words cannot describe how excited I am about this, I have done 1 bcnm since I started in NA release....Other than that I have been stocking these seals since then and now I know why!!!


/froths
 
I only have 230~ ; ;

If I end up doing it with Rai and Ath, I might say we should do your orb your drops, since I think all three of us probably want it, lol
 
only 500 since NA release? i started doing bcnm one year after starting the game, i had 6 stacks. i do them from time to time since then... but i still have 6 stacks lol. 4 kindreds.. cause i solo a lot on blm and thf.
 
Im rough guessing at 500 its probably way more than that. I have been soloing BLM from 60-73 on those rat men in subterriene or w/e

REGARDLESS! I got my blm blm rdm team set up and when I get home from work it's rock and roll time!!!!!!!!!!!!

/froths
 
What does Lord of Onzozo drop now then? Minus the odd crystal and shall shell.

I got 1600~ seals ready. But is it worth getting one ... ? All the other drops from this BCNM will severely devalue in price (not much to begin with either). I nearly duoed it with a MNK/WAR and me as DRG/RDM but it hit way too hard towards the end of up to 600 damage in multiple succession. Depending on the drop rate of the club it'll end up like a Peacock Charm (7~8 million?) (added value because of it being a BCNM60).

I suppose WS Spam will be fun ... O_o

Hmmm.
 
lol, theyre banning off of windower also T-T Cuz I was smashed.

wonder how long these suspensions last?
