Recently, a number of accounts which were confirmed to have violated the user agreement of Final Fantasy XI by using unauthorized third-party software tools 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.
Square Enix would like to take this time to remind their 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. They will continue to take strict actions against those individuals that they 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, they ask that you please refrain from the download of such a tool, no matter how minor it may appear to be.
