On January 7, 2004, Square Enix announced they had more than 500,000 registered users on the PlayOnline gaming service, and slightly under one million active players. In September 2004, Square Enix stated they had 1.2 million characters, with most players having two to three characters. In May 2005, "Front Mission Online" became the second game to utilize the service, retailing at ¥7,140 with a monthly subscription price of ¥1,344. In June 2009, a San Francisco, California resident sued Square Enix for "deceptive advertising, unfair competition, and unjust enrichment" from "Final Fantasy XI", and sought a $5 million settlement.
