Well it's official as of my latest email this morning! You know those RMT in sky that always monopolized Despot, Ullikimi, etc? Welp, they're gone! As of the massive amount of accounts banned the other day, they have been taken out. Some players of the Gefhar LS I'm talking about are Albb, Comyz, Yoon, Soup, Whthsnow, and Melod. I've been searching them alot, and can't seem to catch any of them on in the game yet. I know some of the members may not have been taken out, but alot of them are gone!!!
I received an e-mail this morning from Melod, yes an RMT about it. A few months back I came into contact with Melod while in sky farming and just bfriefly spoke with him. Let me say this first, I hate the process of currency being sold in-game and outside the game for real life money. But I don't hate the people who do it. I don't enjoy having a game monopolized but I can't hate someone for trying to eat. On with that, let me get on to the Email part of it. I spoke with Melod alot for a few days in what bit of broken Chinese I could speak( I got some handy Chinese stuff off the internet though) and he spoke to me in what bit of English he could speak. Alot of the other RMT began sending me tells just joking about stuff, and I spoke with quite a few of them on a regular basis.
One day Melod began talking to me and asking about QQ. I don't have a clue wtf QQ is and the converstaion ended there. I spoke to a Chinese person later that day who played FF as a regular player and asked what QQ is- I found out it's a form of E-mail in China. I figured out that Melod wanted my QQ, or E-mail address. I gave it to him, and the next day I started receiving messages from him and Comyz, Yoon, etc through Melod's email. I used a translator by Freetranslation.com and was able to write some pretty cool stuff to Melod. I found out a lot abot his real life outside of the scenes of FFXI. also asked him about how many people worked with him to amazingly find out that the other RMT he was with were his friends in his city.
He told me in one message "We will say a little bit of English, please forgive me, not clear. We have no leaders. Albb 。SHOWE。 are my friends. They just like you"
On another occasion he said to me in an E-mail "Oh! I never thought that you and I would use Chinese chatting, and I and my friends are very loving the game. You are very happy and XXX two XXX brother. If on you the chance to come to China, we have become the best of friends."
In another E-mail he said to me "Thank you for your praise, I would say a little bit of English! I have no brothers and sisters. I am 18 years old, but I was a student truancy. have yet to find a good job. I am glad to know you, my friend. Goodnight! XU TUO"
Anyways, I hadn't spoken to Melod in a few weeks when this morning at work I checked my E-mail to find this very short message to me reading "You good, but also remembers me? My gate plays the finally fantasy number, for has been sealed by GM, can help me?" With that said I knew for sure they were banned. I hadn't seen any of them online since the Bannings the other day and this secured their bans. I'm not sad the RMT are gone at all, but I do hope to keep in touch with Melod. Anywh, SKY should be excellent farming for a while you all ^^
EDIT: Some members of the LS made still be left over, but for the most part they have been removed from the game. Just wanted to say I may have missed a few people lol.
