VF is not subsidizing FFXI_Gil's price. It's simply $15 less on VF than EGS.

$15 off EGS Middleman as stated in FFXI_Gil's VF thread.
EGS:FFXI_Gil is the same person as VF:FFXI_Gil. Be sure to PM FFXI_Gil here for his official policy on how to deal with this.

EGS has been down since 4AM PST. All trades are being redirected to:http://my.gamemonarch.com/ But judging by the fact there's no new posts, it probably isn't working too well.

Also major impersonation risk. I'd be extremely careful with dealing with anyone on this site until you've verified it is indeed the same user on EGS.

Summary: If you do any trading on EGS, be sure to ask your traders to come here and get verified. Don't take chances.

Folow the directions in your Level Up thread to verify your EGS username.

More info to come!

Furthermore, we intend to preserve the timing-dependent minigame nature of the fishing system, and make balance tweaks and adjustments accordingly. We are also aware of the significant outstanding issues with RMT abuse and difficulty imbalances related to players’ system environments, and will continue working towards a viable solution.

Summary: You'll have to see it yourself. Since I don't want it searchable here in case it is a April Fool's Joke.

Well the person who left feedback is banned. I wonder if Super Moderators are able to remove feedback?

Thanks for the tip Artemys

Summary: The EGS Moderator positions recently have a very high turnover rate. Good luck FFXI Gil and get rid of those scammers.

Source: Game Monarch

Summary: The EGS Staff at Game Monarch do not have the automated tools to verify impersonators or ASP members. The only people corrected labeled are the EGS staff members. This means you have to be extra cautious. It appears the EGS Staff does have access to EGS personal info that was used at the time of sign up. So a EGS veteran member can verify themselves by confirming their email.

Summary: At first glance, FFXI Gil looks like a moderator. Upon closer examination, you'll notice he's only on the Support Team. I don't see his name under the Forum leaders section.

My comments: I wish there was an announcement or something. The price is still wrong on a few places on the website. It's totally confusing to new members.

EGS username: articulate makes off with 300 million gil. EGS has been a haven for scammers in the last few weeks as EGS mods have not been active in banning people. It's gotten so bad that at one point very obvious scammers were running around bragging about their activities. Let's examine a few things to led up to this:
