I yanked this from the main page:

Quote:

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 Aug. 30, 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.

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.


Wonder if anyone on our server got the axe? I can think of a few that I've seen do this and the Warp hack thingy. Just gets to me that ppl have to cheat and be general ***** about things.

Hmm, well, when I first saw this on alla, I -thought- that it was going to be RMT....but notice it says "for the use of third party tools"... >.< this could mean that the banning or suspension of accounts could also deal with players that arent hacking but using -any- kind of third party tools, such as windower or IME plugin(a couple of people i know got banned the last time SE did this for having IME installed), so who knows. Right now I'm at school, so I cant even do a /sea all for all of those popular kids in the server that we know are RMT.

Well, as of right now, all the gilfarmers we've grown to know and love are (wait for it), still doing their thing. Not a single one of them gone. Way to go SE.

Because they're not "cheating". If they all used speed hacks it would be too easy Smiley: grin
