I know this is SLIGHTLY irrelevant to XIV, but hear me out 'cause I dunno where else to go.

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??
