The Special Task Force report (06/15/2007)

3.Future Plans

Due to our actions against the process of obtaining Gil and flow of Gil used by RMT groups, we have seen a marked decrease in the number of FINAL FANTASY XI related RMT sites. However, there are still sites that continue to exist. Until these sites are completely stopped, we can not say that the characters associated with these sites causing problems within the game have been completely wiped out.

We will continue to combat RMT and other illegal activities in our investigations. Especially in the case of players using illegal means to run through the game, we are considering new and innovative ways to catch and control such actions.

We will also continue to focus our efforts on the Hunters within the game, since we believe that they play a pivotal role in the RMT structure.

Until now we haven't had a chance to inform you, the players, of our actions and thoughts on the current situation. We do however plan to keep our community informed of Special Task Force actions and comments in releases such as this one on a regular basis from now on.

As a result of the Special Task Forces' actions, we believe we have started to affect the Vana 'diel economy and bring it back under control.
We hope to continue our efforts, cooperating with our development team and other departments in order to bring an effect on the game that is not a disadvantage to our users.

We will pursue our quest for the creation and maintenance of a healthy and fun FINAL FANTASY XI community. Thank you all for your cooperation and understanding.
