So this happened to me like just now, and I'm posting this so people will be careful and not make the same mistake. I clicked ashita to login, and picked up my wireless keyboard, next thing I know the ffxi window pops up to accept or decline the ToS. Naturally I was like "what the fuck?", but I curiously decided to proceed. Then the title screen loads and again I was like "what the fuck?". So determined to see what has happened I click "select character" then the character screen loads. So I'm staring at some taru in the halloween cloak, level 30~ somethin white mage, location "Mordion", suprised I quickly cancelled back out like "erm fuck this". Now the thing that hase worried is I know that I obviously banged some random keys while getting my keyboard, to be just numbers cause that's all I grabbed ( and ofc the enter button on numpad), but I know that accounts are linked through IPs so I figure now my IP is linkd with some random account that has only numbers for username and password, and whatever they do, I could get punished for.... Which fkn sucks.... Anyways so I tried to submit a ticket, says username and password don't match, when using my forum account info, so.... Anyone guide me in the right direction here? Oh and as a PSA don't push random shit or you may get logged into some random hackosaurus rex.... Still workin on locking myself down just incase some sideways shit happens.... True story, happened just now at like 12:58 am central time, 11-3-19

What was the characters name that was in mordion?

Some how you typed in random numbers into the account/pass and it logged you into someones account? o.o...

If you didnt actually try and log in past the character select, then this just sounds like the 7 year old bug where you can log into someone else's character select if youre on lan or live close by them and they just tried to log in. You cant actually make it past character select, feel like youre an old enough character to know what im talking about, but I can try and explain it further if not. It's never caused anyone actual problems afaik.

Precisely but it was just numbers, erm I forgot the name, I didn't proceed with logging all the way in, seen it wasn't me and was in mordion so spammed escape as fast as possible o.0

That's a possibility but I never typed on my own username and password was more like my thumb hit 1 > enter >2 > enter >2 enter or somethin then poof ffxi came up under some random cheats spam account.

:Edit: I do not recommend playing around with random entries, it could very well link your IPs which is bad, also I got my support ticket in on the incident for what that's worth.

Something similar happened to me a few months ago. Caused by accidentally hitting a few numbers I dont remember. Lets say for example, username "2", pw "2" brought me to some random char login, which I proceeded to do exactly as you did.. exit as fast as possible (didnt make it past the login screen). O.o; beware the keyboard mt
