Bit Concerned On Something I Saw Reading the Patch Notes

They would need to rank up the FC fast enough to purchase housing by the time it's available.

[Canadane]

Dunno why....it's not like they can sell the houses anymore now that we're in maintenance. Ohhhh.....

Right. Unless they sell the account too.

Whelp....hope nobody does that (but we know some idiot(s) will buy an account).

This has nothing to do with houses and everything to do with moving gil.

That's fake news.

*beat*

...

In all seriousness, that is probably true, but there is a small possibility of it having an effect on a housing market on some server.

If i would have anything to say here, i would just throw the bans left and right on the players like that.

I may ban one or two people who are actually playing with nickname like this, but i would got rid of 9000k bots.

I wonder how do they get so many accounts to play with, is there a 30 days free trial on PC version?

Hm, weirdest part is there are exclusive Chinese servers on their own little datacenter. I think that's to follow the different regulations that are Chinese specific.

So, technically, they shouldn't be accessing the NA/EU/JP servers at all....

Wait, wasn't the server down when those FCs were made. o.O How are they even in-game to do that during maintenance.

Maintenance never beings truly on the dot. There's usually a period of time where they force-logout players after repeated warnings. They probably squeezed these in at the last moment. Lodestone also isn't working with the latest data. It relies on a data refresh to happen, so the actual creation time could be skewed from that by a few hours.

This may not actually be anything unusual. They commonly set themselves up in FCs. This might be the regularly scheduled wave.

They're autonomous bots that can keep going 24/7. They can rank up a free company very fast.

TBH, i joined a new CL with friends last week, we had dungeon gear in keep and a lot of poetic to waste, just by giving that to the Grand Companies we rank up lvl 6 in 2 days =/

They could ban all chinese IPs tomorrow (maybe they have already). In reality they would be back the next day through a VPN (that's if they don't use one already, which I am sure they probably do), so it would be a pointless exercise.
