    I'd say it's false. The article is from two days ago, and the latest I'd heard since two days ago is that no action has been taken yet.

    From the article:
    Square Enix are yet to make any formal or public statements about the situation so time will tell how they respond.

    I doubt they'd ban and burn the entire free company over the actions of a few who apparently acted unilaterally.

    I would say ban them and lets build a billboard on their plot! This is a joke btw., it was a stupid idea on their side and you can think of the whole erp scene what you will but in my opinion they don't deserve a perma ban.

    That was nothing but a clickbait article.

    They sensationalized the title while everyone else was doing the normal billboard articles, in order to draw people in by making them think SE had given some kind of response.

    You can see that easily enough by the final line in the article:

    Square Enix are yet to make any formal or public statements about the situation so time will tell how they respond.
    This, literally in an article that says "Square Enix crack down...."

    That alone should be enough to tell you the poor quality of the website and encourage you not to read their articles.

    They aren't and still having the event, though we we see how that affects Balmung lol.
    Doubt if SE does anything they will ban the whole FC, because only a few of them were in on it. I also don't think people deserve Permabans, just some time off.

    Nah, action on this needs to be pretty harsh. They arguably disrupted an entire server during the launch of a brand new feature (it's hard to say how much would have happened *anyway* given it's Balmung, but... the news story did not help), broke multiple TOS entries, and used copyrighted imagery without permission. They broke actual laws.

    Not saying everyone in the FC needs to be banned, that is overly harsh, but anyone involved with the leadership and/or planning of the billboard needs to go. It was too far, and if punishment is insufficient people will just push the boundaries further next time.
