This is a valid question and am curious about some thoughts on it.
It's only been 7 days since SE took the servers offline. From the news in Japan I do not see the servers going back online anytime soon. To be honest, if put in that situation the servers would be the least of my concerns.
With empathy set aside and users who truly care and understand the hardships being faced by our Far Eastern friends we have to wonder how billing will work.
If the server is going to be down for the remaining part of the month ( and from news in Japan it's going to be longer then expected ) are we going to be auto billed at the start of the month for services we are not using?
I thought that I would unsubscribe for now and wait til the servers are up and running again to resub, but I was unable to do so through the Square Enix support number for FFXI.
I can see a lot of users disputing charges if they are billed due to not being able to unsubscribe from a service they are not using.
Just was curious about how this will be handled.

SE already stated there not billing for this Cycle witch means month of April will be free.
Quote from SE "In connection with the temporary suspension of services, players will not be billed for any PlayOnline service throughout the April billing"(0)

And I'm sure that they will continue it as long as necessary.
