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??

.. If they did make everyone convert, the worst they could do if you don't do it is just cancel your payment account thus making you unable to use your characters. You should still have them.

EDIT: Also there is a FFXI forum.

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.

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.

You just won't be able to play. Essentially your billing information won't be there, so they can't charge you.

They're changing to click and buy?
Looks like I'm never playing FFXI again then.
I used that years ago and it was such a pain in the ass I never want to use it again.

Yes, I'll do that. :C Nothing I've heard really sounds like a sure thing about keeping the character information.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure if you don't convert to Click n Buy, then they reserve the right to eat your firstborn.

Normally I cannot stand your mindless drivel you deem worthy to type, but this made me lol

For those not in the know, SE reacted to the MASSIVE outrage and extended the deadline to transfer Playonline accounts over to Square Enix Accounts for a few extra months until they could improve their billing system.
Head to http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...ayment-options for more info.

So do not panic. Nothing has gone belly up or changed on you yet.
