What will happen to Trial Accounts after the weekend?

One of my buddies is trying out ESO this weekend and I was wondering what will happen to his account after this weekend is over. He's getting pretty attached to his characters so I'm hoping the accounts will be kept? Is there any info on this?

Would love a response! @ZOS_GinaBruno

    I think (but don't quote me) that if your buddy keeps playing, it will remain. If not, I assume they may do a wipe down the line.

    They said that he will not lose progress if he purchases the game by Monday.

    Once the weekend is over, avatars should go back to the vats and gear be split among remaining players.

    The souls of players who made trials accounts and then did not keep playing will be sold to demons as soon as the trial ends (well, actually monday after, but only because the demonic soul trading post is closed for the weekend)

    Thanks all for responding! Does this mean that if he waits until the holidays his account will be wiped?

    We will save all progress indefinitely so if he doesn't buy the game right away, he will still be able to pick up where he left off.

    I'm interested to see what creative names the newbies come up with. Get my alt codes ready so I can steal some of them later.

    ...So all those character names will be gone for possibly forever if they don't buy? Hmm.

    I had the same thought, thank the maker for alt codes!

    The free weekend just started earlier this morning and he's already getting pretty attached to his characters? Wow. That's a good sign!

    So if these characters are permanent...I'm almost considering that having 2500 personal bank slots worth the time to level 4 characters to level 10...
    What do you guys think?
