I'm not going to read everyone's replies so please forgive me if this is redundant information.
1. Blacklist him in FFXI, if he managed to message you on another character, Blacklist that one too. No one can tell they've been blacklisted, it just appears that you're ignoring them which brings me to 2.
2. Ignore them. Don't respond in any way shape or form. You'll just be feeding the troll. I don't see a need to report them to a GM because if they and all their mules are blacklisted then you won't see anything they type to you.
3. Report to GM if it gets out of hand. If they start having all their buddies message you or create new characters just to bypass the blacklist. This is a bannable offense in the eyes of the GM's.
ARR
I suggest using a different name on ARR. Nothing that can point you to your previous character. If you're name is Someguy, then you want to avoid using Someguy Valefor as an ARR name.
What about my friends that know me you say? Simple, if they really are your friends you can let them know what your ARR name is and carry on.

In an extreme case in FFXI you might consider a server/name change.

People in general can be a real pain. Don't let someone have power over you by letting them sap what fun and enjoyment you have out of the game. It is a game after all. If it's not fun, move on to something else, change servers start over, whatever it takes to just enjoy yourself. That's what it's all about right?
