Square Enix recently reported the termination of multiple accounts held by players involved in the usage of third-party tools or cheats, or engaged in RMT (Real Money Trading) activities. In relation to the severity of the violation, over 2,500 accounts were temporarily suspended, while over 9,000 accounts were permanently banned.

Details of the violations are as follows:

• Usage of tools that allow enhanced character movement. Approx. 1,100 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. 6,400 cases

During this round of account terminations, Square mainly focused on RMT operations that were active within Japan. However, rest assured that their continued investigations encompass all regions where RMT activity is occurring.
