Yesterday, I was sprinting to reach where the Lv 49 enemies live in Gridania, it suddenly disconnected at 12:18AM. I thought it was supposed to be 1:00AM, not 12:00AM. So I exited it before it disconnect with another error. So I decided to check another board and looked around. The next thing I knew is everyone were affected by someone caused this much confusion. They lost their Gils during logging. I was surprised and felt very worrying about the hacker can do anything to my game... even their games. So now that was a huge emergency maintenance this day. SE and the Dev team are trying to investigate the attack and resolve the worst situation. I fear that this game may be not be safe for all of us.

Regarding the debate whether it was RMT or a player did this... considering one of the npcs people were being forced to buy from was called 'supermarketsweep' that indicates the latter, or a RMT criminal taking a particularly cruel sideswipe at their victims. Smacks of an organised criminal ring though, given all servers were hit pretty much simultaneously with the attack.

Omg, this is a serious problem. My question is, why only asian made game are easily hacked like this. I played mmorpg called ragnarok online before and it suffer gruesome hack also. I mean, why?? its SE for sake, not some random korean game company

Umm... WoW had this kind of security at the beginning. Search around, I bet you can find post about people complaining of dupe hacks, packet editing and other various things for every online game.

Yeah... in 2004. Awful rationalization is awful.

Any word on how to get our lost monies reimbursed? Maybe I missed the notice... Do we have to contact a GM in game? Will SE mail us our lost money?

This is a notification about the countermeasures that will be taken for players who were affected by the Market security issue reported from earlier.

For players who were affected, we will notify you through Email Address 1 that is registered on you Square Enix Account after the maintenance have been completed.
After the Email is sent, a Game Master will correspond within the game. Until then, you will be able to play the game as usual. If in any case, our players are logged out when the Game Master corresponds, they will attempt again at a later time.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your patience.
