I'll go over the content in a bit. I mean, after all, this is an odd strip.

Final Fantasy 11 (FFXI) is a Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game (MMORPG). If you guys aren't familiar with World of Warcraft [link] then I hope that link helps. Like anything that requires some time and effort, some people would rather skip it and just buy characters and in-game currency [link] just to be ahead of other players. We call these players affectionately in the FFXI community, douche bags.

So there's a huge market for this sort of thing and some countries exploit it, such as China. Hire out high school kids to play the game to farm gold, pay them dirt, and sell back the digital gold for big $$$. Sure companies like Blizzard and Square try to ban players that solely play to make a profit, but sometimes, it's easier to just rob the players instead.

So what these companies began doing is to plant keyloggers [link] into popular resource websites. Often times, successful and since companies like Blizzard/Square stress that these digital characters have no value, it can't be considered a crime.

I'll probably save this for another strip, but Square Enix has really terrible customer service concerning when a player's account gets hacked... better yet, I'll vent my frustration via strip instead, so let's get back to this strip lol.

The strip was originally an idea that was being tossed around Vana Chat by Fusionx and he asked if I wanted to give it a whirl.

Sooo, here I am, almost 3 weeks late with it. Enjoy!
