    Mar. 22, 2007 04:00 [PDT] From: FINAL FANTASY XI
    Accounts Banned (Mar. 22)
    We would like to report the termination today of multiple accounts held by players involved in the usage of third-party tools or cheats, or engaged in RMT (Real Money Trading) activities.

    Based on the results of our investigation, over 6,800 PlayOnline accounts were terminated while over 1,100 accounts were temporarily suspended.
    Details of the violations are as follows:

    - Usage of tools that allow enhanced character movement.
    Approx. 1,050 cases

    - Usage of tools that circumvent game mechanics with respect to the timing of ability use, etc. in certain areas or at points where Notorious Monsters appear.
    Approx. 500 cases

    - Using cheats to automatically repeat a particular action.
    Approx. 2,650 cases
    * The above number reflects the total number of accounts banned within the period of a month. This does not include individual cases handled by GMs.

    - Accounts from people that were previously confirmed to have RMT connections, or that had violated the user agreements but re-subscribed to PlayOnline.
    Approx. 2,500 cases

    - RMT-related activity
    Approx. 1,200 cases

    The termination of these accounts has led to the removal of approximately 134 billion gil from circulation.

    We would like to remind players that as well as adversely affecting game balance, the use of third-party tools or cheats can also have consequences that are not immediately obvious, such as introducing damaging viruses, and comprising the security of private account details. Usage of third-party tools will not be tolerated within FINAL FANTASY XI, and we will continue to severely penalize any players found to be in violation of the PlayOnline Member Agreement.

    As we continue to ensure a fun and balanced environment for FINAL FANTASY XI, we hope that our players enjoy the game as it was intended and take care to avoid involvement in activities that violate the PlayOnline Member Agreement.

    Thank you for your continued cooperation and understanding.

            Wow, excuse me for just trying to be helpful...

            That, and it's not readily seen from the top scans or listed much anywhere obvious. I looked, and didn't see it, thus I posted.
