Okay, so about 3 years ago a friend of mine on Phoenix had his account *hacked*. And down the line the guy that was playing on the account got it LM-11'd. My friend decided he didn't wanna bother with getting his account back since SE said nothing could be done unless he knew the last Credit card number and FFXI/POL reg-codes last used on the account.

Anyways less than 3 days ago he found his old FFXI cd keys in a chest at his parents old place, he got bored at school and in class used the Return to Vana'diel thing, and got his account back.

Now I know he isn't bullshitting because I made a mule on Phoenix to see his character (75MNK using gear that would be perfectly acceptable in 2004/05 lol).

Anyone else try this on a banned account thats old? (I'm not talking about people that recently were Salvagebanned, 2-3+ year banned)

Also, I decided not to post his characters name for the sake of SE trolling these forums and maybe ninja fixing something. Fucking cool none-the-less, just sucks I'm gonna have to help him go through CoP/ToAU/WoTG.
