Be careful guys. Looks like they are having fun banning people. That's 3500 accounts in under a month.Aug. 30, 2006 04:00 [PDT] From: FINAL FANTASY XI
About Action Taken Against Third-Party Tool Users
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.

Whew!!! I just check and my guy's still fishin for me. Talk about lucky (or stupid :retarded: , take your pick). I was suspended within the last month for botting, still bot, was botting when the ban went down, and I'm still on. Not tryin to rub it in for you guys that got banned. I truly feel bad for you guys. I think I'll stop botting on my main account. :F
... i think they have ways to detect, that doesnt involve people reporting you... so dont think you can just POS around without worries if no ones sees you..
just my theory...

I agree with your thought. My acct and my wife's acct got suspended, first time, only thing she used was POS and no one was in range when i did it and i logged out then zoned. For me it was a matter of time :E but that was odd that my wife's too since it was only one use of POS. Oh well only gotta wait till sept 3rd.darkrift wrote:... i think they have ways to detect, that doesnt involve people reporting you... so dont think you can just POS around without worries if no ones sees you..

Very Very odd. Since I am in this forum, I don't have to lie about not using pos! Seriously, I did not use pos for at least three weeks and got ban for the first time
Hmmm I need to think what to say to the pol service guy....any idea?

When I call I am just going to be really nice to them and just plea and maybe just maybe they will be able to help me out. After all I am sure they have heard every lie and remark in the book from the flooding of calls they are about to recieve.
