<!-- ** --> 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 3,300 PlayOnline accounts have been either suspended or terminated on Sep. 26, 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.

either is fine by me... gilsellers gone would be great... but anyone hacking being banned is good new imo
 
Guess I'll log on here at work and take a /sea around. :)

If they are getting rid of botters atleast, that makes me happy. Hopefully some RMT in there too, we shall see.
 
Do we have one of the old messages stored somewhere? It almost feels like a copy paste of the last two with a changed date at the top.
 
I'll uh, be back in a few days...im um...going on vacation...to...darwens love shack. Yes.
 
I like the fact that they've done this several times now. It should act to eliminate some of the game's cheaters and possibly serve as a deterrent to people who may decide to "test out" some of the programs they've got out there.

As long as they show they'll continue to take action, I'm happy. The hardcore users of throw away accounts may not go down much, but at least the people with something to lose may think twice.
 
This is great news, even if no gilsellers get hit I'm glad to see some people getting what's coming to them.
 
I keep looking at my list of known botter/hackers and I still see everyone.

I wonder if this is all smoke and mirrors to try and make people happy.
 
Leave TIGURAMAWINAIWIA, you broke my heart and shit all over it. And it does appear they are banning quite a few people, on other forums at least.
