So I've been noticing that I'm having less and less time for FFXIV at the moment. When December hits though, I should have more free time. But I do have a question about subscription and accounts.

Say you do not renew or subscribe for the next month, will they cancel your account? I do plan on going back eventually, and I already spent a good amount of hours in the game. But I am concerned that if I do not pay, they will eventually wipe my account.
I remember in FFXI, if you did not renew or subscribe to your account for a certain amount of months, they will wipe your account. How is it on this game?
