Square Enix Bans 5,000 'Final Fantasy XI' (PS2/X360/PC) Accounts

by Rainier on Feb. 21, 2007 @ 6:16 p.m. PST

In Final Fantasy XI you embark on numerous adventures through vast environments in Vana'diel: a persistent world with over a hundred areas to explore, ranging from mountains, forests, to oceans, castles, and dungeons.

The breakdown for the suspensions is as follows:

  • Accounts confirmed using third party tools to illegally move their characters: 750 cases
  • Accounts confirmed using bots to repeatedly perform actions: 650 cases.
  • Accounts confirmed modifying ability timers: 1900 cases.

The results of our investigation resulted in the confiscation of over 50 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.
