if i don't subscribe now will my info be saved?

hello all,

i do not feel like subscribing right now, not gonna go into the reasons and start a debate.

what i was wondering, if i come back to the game in a year or so will my current characters still be available? there are several games out there that do this, let you leave and come back.

I've never heard of any MMORPG deleting your progress when you don't subscribe, unless it's being shut down completely.

Back in the old days, EQ did. Some other games did as well, but that practice pretty much stopped when WoW came out as in effort to try and gain players back.

No, but you'll miss out on veteran rewards.

I've seen some do it if you don't reach a certain level but it's normally only level 10 or something you have to get to to stop it.

I asked the same question via support ticket. They said if I didn't subscribe for 9 months my character would be deleted

What?! No offense, Seveers, but it just seems so unbelievable they'd do that in this day and age... Can someone else confirm that?

Can anyone confirm this? That just seems... wrong.

I know my FFXI character was deleted after a year or so. But I was only in the 20s and never subbed. Different games, but the precedent is there

This seems incredibly unlikely. Either the support person was trolling you, or you are trolling us.

well one thing I should point out, and if they delete my toon I guess that is fine, I have not subscribed yet at all. I just tried the game for the trial period, I did purchase the game itself online for a download.

I just think there are a lot of issues in the game that need to be worked out, as with all mmos. maybe it is better than others at release, maybe worse, who knows. but I don't really think the game is quite ready for prime time. I think if I came back a year from now it will be a good indication of what the developers are doing in terms of their priorities in getting the game into shape.
