Unfortunately, with the SE's crack down on RMT in FFXI, they destroyed the economy. It is nice to have things at a more manageable and affordable level, but the things that used to be true money makers are no longer as profitable. Over the last couple of years, the Special Task Force has done an amazing job at keeping excess RMT gil out of the game, and made camping some NMs much easer since their drops are no longer sellable...

There will probably be very few people who actually win the 100,000,000 gil, or even the 10,000,000. They are offering some verious serious prizes besides just the gil, but in the case of the Rank 1 and Rank 2 prize, the gil is by far the best value. As far as the 100k gil goes, the other prizes are actually a little better, and 100k may sound like a lot, but in the grand scheme of things, it's not very much at all. For newer players, it's a good haul though.

The "Mog Lottery" is something players have been asking for, for years. Thank you SE for finally figuring out a way to give us our lottery, and a cheese sammich!
