And why panic anyway? O.o If your account is already not active, why care? Is it deleted now? No. Will it be? Maybe. If I can take from my past experience with "breaking" from XI here and there, the characters are still there and will be for quite sometime. I was gone for over a year and it was still there. Relax and change or don't.

Well my payment account is already canceled at the moment because I'm not going to be playing it for about another year, but I still intend to pick it back up eventually.

And I know theres a XI forum, but I'm not signed up for it.

How can you not be signed up to it? it uses SE accounts, you're posting on this forum so you're already signed up to it.

If she has not yet transferred her Playonline account to her SE account or at least linked them up, her ability to post on these forums and the XI forums are not yet bound together.

There is also a big question mark hanging over what will happen to Playonline accounts that remain untransferred after the cut-off. Will they be put in hibernation? Deleted entirely? We don't really know yet...

They're not deleted they just can't be reactivated till after they completely shift to the Square-enix managment system or w/e the hell it's called. After that you just reactivated it through that. You just have to create a se account which you had to do to play xiv, Link your ffxi account, fix the payment (They are adding direct cc payment and the ability to buy exact amounts of crysta within the next few months), then just pay any owed fees then done!

I had to help a few friends with it. It's not that bad. In fact you can direct pay with a CC to buy crysta right now, just not in exact amounts just yet.

You have to have active content IDs over there to post, just like you need an active character to post here, the op has said thier account is inactive so they cant post on the ffxi forums.
