File a report in-game to let them know you're stuck in gaol and a GM will come to you.

Just say that you've been in GM jail and haven't been approached by a GM in the ticket. One should get to you eventually.

Oof, if you were kicked for that reason I’m sorry to hear. They can be a bit ... uptight about things like that. Is strange you were put in jail though. Did you curse at those party members or at anytime were rude to them? We got some special people in the game that are very report happy

I thought this was a XI thing, not a thing in XIV

I've seen posts similar to this probably over a dozen times now.

If someone commits some kind of offense, the GMs will just shove their character into the gaol if they're offline when they decide to address the report, at which your only option to contact another GM and hope they decide to take you out of there sooner then later.

I am a touch curious as to exactly why the TC ended up in there, though.

what would happen if the character just doesnt log in for a long time after getting put in goal? would they eventually get moved back without even knowing?

You'll have to wait there until a GM gets to you, and hopefully plead your case so you don't get anything more than a warning on your account.

GM Gaol is definitely a thing in FFXIV. There are pics of it floating around that are easy enough to find.

Hope OP gives us an update!

Hold on. You get put in GM jail in FF14? If that is not in the EULA that is actually a violation of US laws. Hey Square Enix you might want to look at that as it could become a legal issue and force you to refund sub time.

This is pretty hilarious.

Although anyone can make mistakes, I very much doubt that putting someone in FFXIV gaol , as a GM is acting in the normal course of their duties- would constitute any violation of any US laws. I would be pretty surprised if the game didn't have some time of timer so that someone couldn't be stuck in there indefinitely.

Anyway- even if no so mechanism exists- you can message a GM to get you out. As long as OP gets a reasonable response time- don't see the legal issue. Feelsbad tho for OP.

Possibly a dream state.

So clearly you never read the EULA. They can not only put you in the gaol, they can suspend or terminate your account at any time without having to refund you a dime. Every online game has a similar clause in their user agreement.

Your character does not just end up in jail. You did something to deserve this.

SE can do whatever it likes with your character being as your character is their property.

Not always. You can end up in there if you got into a spat with someone who was trolling or being ignorant, and you may have said something you shouldn't have in defense of yourself or someone else, and they decided to report you instead. In those cases they usually just review what happened with you, tell you to just report and don't do that, slap on the wrist, and let you go.

You said it yourself ‘you may have said something you shouldn’t have’.

In general the only way you get in trouble in life is by doing something wrong, or by the people ‘arresting’ you making a mistake.

If you break TOS ‘defending yourself’ you’ve still broken TOS, whether understandable or not.
