So! SE suspended 2000 accounts...

[Kuponut]

Question, how do you deactivate your account? Lol

Do you just deactivate content IDs or something?

[Koyangi]

I just came home from work to this 30 page topic, all I gotta say is 2 PC's ftw.

[Khamsin]

I know the news update wasn't about windower directly, but the fact of the matter is, you can't hack if you dont' have windower running.

That most certainly is NOT the fact of the matter, since you can hack without windower.

How? run the 3rd party program before you go in Full Screen mode?

That, or run dual monitor setup

hmmm. point taken my good sir.

Or write a program to send keystrokes over your home network from your laptop to specific programs running in the background on the computer FFXI is running on. Set up a form with the various buttons you'd need, then have each one send the appropriate number of tabs and enters to hit the corresponding buttons on the background apps running under FFXI.

I can't read this thread fast enough.

Someone cfh a nidhogg to distract the posters while I catch up!

My Account has been closed, same thing as Tymon.

Have you gone back to check? Mine was closed, for now it's not.

J/w, did you have a suspension before? Or is this your first "offense"?

I've never had a suspension or even been to jail, shouldn't have a single note on my account.

That could have something to do with it, who knows. They might overrule some if they see it's first offense.

So your account was closed, and then you tried later and could log in?

That's probably the reason it was changed to temp. From the people I've heard who got banned, they've been suspended before. Something funny I noticed is that people who use fleetool get caught while people who only use POSing don't. I guess POSing is harder to detect. Also tells me GMs have shittyass tools at their disposal if all they can do to catch people is watch them fleeing around.

There are plenty of other ways to run 3rd party tools without Windower though. A company is naive if they think fullscreen mode will stop the mad hax

I've always felt SE is just covering up for being lazy and not wanting to deal with everything that's involved in restoring all the device objects when exclusive access to the device is lost. If they really felt that forcing the app to run full-screen would reduce the number of hacks, then they're incredibly retarded. Hell, look at the bullshit they're in now, having to ban their users who more than likely wanted to use their PC and OS for what they were designed to do: multi-task, and beyond that weren't doing any sort of malicious activities (as they so carelessly accused all people using 3rd party tools of doing in their news bulletin.)

No I can't login still but it went from "your account is closed" and talking to a web chat rep and them saying "your letter is in the mail, bye" to trying to login and seeing "your account is temporarily suspended"

it's the 100 Clothcraft not the fact that it's your first offense

[Dustybrown]

I come back from the gym and this post is +10 pages. This is even faster than the BLM Nerf thread.

Anyway, thanks to the people who replied to my earlier questions.

I just logged into the game and a friend and I did some /sea for gilsellers. Of the few names we can recall they do appear to be offline at the moment. Woaigirl being the biggest name I can think of at the moment who isn't on. Sumdeg wasn't on the game a few minutes ago but has since logged on though and they run with Woaigirl pretty often. However there is a party in Den of Rancor that has 4 unanon lvl 72 rank 1 Sandorians in a party together. Makes me think this wasn't against the gilsellers on this server at least.

Letter in the mail means you are done for good. When I got banned for holding Fafnir for 3hrs, that's what I was told. What fucking pisses me off is that the migard gil sellers who POS/flee to Orc god, sky, cassie are still online. I once called a GM and said "Hey orc gods last window is in 20min, when it pops these people (I named all 10 gil seller names) will be using POS to warp up to the the ledge to kill it, and flee to to claim. The GM said ok and we watched.

The gil sellers did exactly that, and he said later that he didn't see anything wrong.

To all those people out there, take this from me. I stopped using all that shit. It's not worth losing all your hardwork of almost 3yrs to get to DA or w/e faster.


Edit- what happens is they temp-close your account. Then it's sent to Japan (lol it's true), were the account managers review the suspension. I was told that if it's sent to Japan for review, you are pretty much done. My account was temp- close, then I checked the next day after Japan business hours were over(so like 5-6am EST), my account was closed for good

[Matricide]

[Julian]

What I want to know is, were any JPs banned?

Probably not.

[jiang]

I got the LM-17 error.

[Everlasting]

That's a really good question.

It's still early, JPs just getting up and NAs just getting off work, it will take some time to see the full impact.

[Stanislav]

My acc is fine.. its been clean since jumping to Aery in December and getting caught..
My mule that I made cause a UAE LS started warp hacking kings.. also is fine even though it warps everyday and has got a fuckton of zone errors.
A member of my linkshell whos a very friend of mine who got suspended in november and hasnt done it since.. unless u count Herald's Gaiters got perm banned while reading BG.

I rather have my acc banned and my mule then him..

[George Feeny]

To bad you dont mean that.

[Khamsin]

Even if it is a scare tactic, stopping hacking now won't save you. Next time they ban people, they'll just look up the people they didn't ban this time, even if they never hacked again after today.

[Stanislav]

I already offered him my char
So yes I do
