February FFXI Banned Accounts and Frozen Gil
Source: Playonline

Summary: 2/1/2011 - 2/28/2011 1,065 accounts banned and Approx. 1.7 billion gil was removed.

My comments: Surprised there was so much gil left in February. 1.7 billion gil is valued at $22,100. Makes you wonder if some of that was from the Mog Bonanza that just ended.

Summary: It's about time! Seriously that was only about 6 years late. Oh well better late than never.

My comments:
I wonder how receptive they will be to my RMT discussions. Anyone register here and want to comment how it is. Probably most of you don't care. There is a section for Technical support so I suppose if you don't want to wait online or on the phone this could work. But it's a public forum so I suspect there won't be anything too specific t...

Summary: 655 million gil for sale!!!! Why would someone have so much? Are you going for 5 relic weapons at the same time? I'm not aware of any new items costing so much! Perhaps it was a ULTRA STRIPPING of a highly valuable account. But once again I don't think anyone could have so much gil even after a total strip down.

This of course brings up the legendary gil question. What happens if you receive 1 gil after 999,999,999 gil? Rumors are:

Source: Massively

Summary: This guy stole around $6000 USD. SOMER.Blink is basically a real fast paced lottery that uses in-game credits. This all abides by the Eve Online Terms of Service. The thief, Daquaris of Test Alliance Please Ignore, had access to a stash of ISK, PLEX and items as part of his role -- delivering prizes to Blink winners. Most of the prize-distributors for SOMER.Blink are real-life friends of the site's creator Somerset Mahm, a situation that limits th... [Read More]

Banned Accounts and Frozen Gil for October

Summary:
From 10/1/2010 - 10/31/2010, 1,320 accounts with approx. 180 million gil were banned. That's 1.36m for every 10 accounts.

My comments: There's no more trial accounts so either these are RMT accounts using buddy pass or real accounts. I didn't even know so many people still played this game. FFXIV was released on 9/22 and 9/30 so I'm surprised so much gil was removed. Account sales and in-game item transactions have definitely slowed. But the pric... [Read More]
