Something that might happen to more hacked people soon ;;

Where does this 2400 stolen account figure come from?

I am curious about this as well.

/sigh

In the big hacked player thread someone heard 2400+ directly from someone at SE

History is just gonna repeat it self here. Time it took for STF is gonna be the time it takes for SE to actually come close to publically stating something about this. And i'll bet ya, they'll do jack for anyone who lost their account and gotten banned.
Only real fix here I see that's cut and dry is a windower type of solution >_>;
I'll let you sort out the bread crumbs.

Oh right, someone heard the hacked account amount directly from someone at SE!

Of course!

It's all part of SE's master plan to run FFXI into the ground, where they know how many people's accounts were lost to RMT and instead of restoring those accounts to their rightful players (that they evidently know were hacked), they decide to go ahead and fuck them over at every possible opportunity!

Let's also forget such trivial things like NDAs.

As for this recent turn of events of someone's recovered account getting banned, I think it's time to start bringing out the popcorn. I thought SE's customer service could not get any worse and yet they somehow managed to outdo themselves.

For SE, the damage that these hacking do isn't to their bottom line, that's a small drop in the ocean. What does damage SE is loss of consumer trust in their product and if they protect or help their rightful customers when they lose access to the data they have been paying to SE to access (regardless of who's at fault), it's all about public image.

SE has WAY more to lose than 2500 accounts. Company reputation is worth a lot more than those, but all it takes is those 2500 to shatter a reputation.

Let's put this in another way: to the people hacked, and even to a lot that weren't and are watching this unfold: what would you tell your friends if they asked you your opinion on a SE MMO? (...) Exactly.

SE seriously need to lose their entire player base over this. I love this game to bits and I would hate to see the game die but I really hope that they do lose the vast majority of their playerbase just so they learn (if they had a future) that the customer is number one stop taking the piss out of your most valid customer you fucking idiots and sort this shit out already.

I cant see how hard it is to rectify this problem ( Apart from the fact you registration server will shit itself when 400,000 users have to secure thier acounts with some basic info like Mothers Maiden Name. First pets name etc) For goodness sake sort it out already before its too late. I really hope you as a company SE go bankrupt in the next few months..... even if that does mean I have to stop playing, because quite frankly you deserve it.

Sadly, I agree with this :/

I've cancelled my new account (started after losing first account and couldn't get any help recovering). Customer service has till the end of the month to make me believe again. I love the game, but I can't get behind Square Enix anymore if they are going to continue to jerk around their playerbase.
