I hear tell that players of XI were being given 2-3 months to convert their playonline accounts to click and buy... Or else what?? Are they DELETING character information of people who don't do the conversion in time???? :C Because I'm not paying for XI and playing it right now, but holy damn, I still want my character in the databases for whenever I choose to pick it back up again.

Can anyone confirm this??
The characters shouldnt be deleted, just the IDs will be canceled because there is no payment method attached to the account.

If you are worried about it you can switch your account while it isnt active if you want, and it will make sure your character is safe.
