They had their legal teams in each region working on the issues around the Mog Bonanza to get it resolved. They're happy to announce that they've come to a settlement on this and will be able to resume hosting the Bonanzas with the next one scheduled for either late January or February. Usual suspects will be around including Cat's Eye, AA weapons, etc. (they asked for recommendations, too), and obviously more details will be announced as it gets closer.

The Mog Bonanza Homecoming Comes Rolling into Vana'diel! (01/25/2013)
Ladies and gentlemen!

The event that adventurers' dreams are made of—the Mog Bonanza—has made its glorious return!

Without a doubt, linkshells throughout Vana'diel will buzz as adventuring comrades discuss the extravagant prizes they've set their sights upon, the numbers they'll employ to usher in their fortunes, and how they'll flaunt their winnings.

Learn how your dreams might be made reality via the Mog Bonanza!

*Bonanza marbles will be available for purchase from Tuesday, January 29, 2013, at 12:00 a.m.
*Please remember that all prizes won in the Mog Bonanza are valueless virtual items for use in the game FINAL FANTASY XI only. Prizes cannot be transferred to another player in exchange for real-world money without violating the PlayOnline Member Agreement and risking termination of the accounts of all parties involved.

Will be nice if they add the new(ish) abjuration stuff again since we actually know what all the augments are this time. I hated having to decide without all that info on the table for the Giveaway :p

Well, they'll at least get $13 bucks out of me that month. A free relic/mythic/99 emp would be just the thing to get me back into the swing of things

They need new grand prizes considering you can finish a relic in a month or an empy in a week right now.

This has been the only thing that's managed to get me to reactivate each time it swings around, only 'cause I am a self diagnosed pathological gambler. Will I fall into the trap again? Stay tuned.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gambling_in_Japan

Quote:
Gambling in Japan is generally banned by the Criminal Code chapter 23,[1] however there are several exceptions, including betting on horse racing and certain motor sports.[2]

Public sports, lottery, and toto (football pools) are held under special laws in order to increase the income of national and local governments, as well as to offer a form of entertainment for many people.

That includes JP MMOs. So of course they had to use a legal team to prove (loophole) the items to be of no further value than in game items that can't be sold for money [legally].

Do some basic research before you make a silly assumption next time.

They never banned it indeed. However, that is not to say they weren't (or was going to be) in violation of the "Kompu Gatcha" laws they wanted to put into effect There were even articles about this:

http://seekingalpha.com/article/611721-regulation-may-alter-mmo-landscape-part-1

It happened just before Vanafest ironically, so they made sure to get clear out of the way as quickly as possible.

Spoiler Alert! Click to view.

It was an "international issue", not a JP issue. If you recall, SE gave JP players a bonanza and gave NA/EU players something "similar" that was not at all equal to the JP bonanza. My point is that the reward for NA/EU players were not even marginally acceptable compared to the actual bonanza prizes.

Regardless, I am happy are bringing it back to NA/EU players and hope that it is the same prizes for everyone included.
