Suspension timer start : FFXI General Discussions

I was one of the unlucky few that got suspended/banned during the 9/26 sweep. I'm currently getting the LM-17 message, but it seems the consensus is that this doesn not matter and can turn perma. I was wondering when does the suspension actually start? I've heard it starts when the servers in Japan reset at midnight. If this were the case, my account should have been restored today at 11:00 AM EST (midnight in Japan).. making the duration 72 hrs.. but I still can't log in. Please don't tell me the suspension starts after you call the information center >.<

I got different accounts suspended on their other suspends.

Neither time did I call, live chat or email anyone about it. I simply just waited and logged in when I could. I had to wait more like about 90 hours or so to get my accounts back. I just waited quietly. When I logged on I spoke to noone about when I logged in either. It was as if nothing had ever happened.

Peronally I didn't want to call Any extra attention to my account to possibly have someone look at it and change it to perm ban. Probably doesn't make a difference, but if they don't want to review ALL of the suspended accounts, I want to be sure I don't call extra/any attention to mine if I don't have to.

I don't think that answered what he was asking. I'm assuming the timer started yesterday and end on Saturday Japan noon time.

The message will actually change when you are banned. So that how you will know. If it still says your account is suspended, it is what it is.
