For those that aren't technical savvy… just want to let you know about the FFXI logging system. I can't say what I'm saying is completely right, but 95% sure they use this method, because I use something like this… at work to do the same thing (finding trends/patterns) to find trends with a bunch of website logs (well in this case, game logs and trends of cheating).
Go take a look at this location below, you'd find files from 0-18/20. Open one up.
C:\Program Files\PlayOnline\SquareEnix\FINAL FANTASY XI\TEMP
Now look at what's there… those are the stuff that SE Stores on their servers.
It's no secret that I keep my eye on the Final Fantasy XI community. With two friends running an upstanding linkshell on the Bahamut server, I like to know what goes on in the game.
The current word on the street is the "big banhammer freakout." The vocal players are talking about what linkshells were hit by losing players caught up in the cheating scandal.
from JPButton.com written by CorinthA credit card number is required to pay for any account fees for FFXI in America. However, people with Japanese accounts can pay using a greater variety of options. One of these options is WebMoney. You can purchase WebMoney points (1 yen = 1 point) and use them to pay for a variety of services. It is very similar to how people use Paypal. You can send people money, buy goods on Yahoo! Auctions, purchase money, or even pay for online games like FFXI. It is possible to buy WebMoney points at a convenience store or even set up an account online with a credit card.
Using WebMoney for FFXI was also recently in the news for being used by suspected RMT groups to create fraudulent accounts.
Starting February 2nd, WebMoney has teamed up with Square Enix to create a new FFXI promotion.
