Unsubscribing and game time unused

Could I get a confirmation that if someone unsubscribes prior to the expiration of their current month (only a monthly basis plan) that they will be able to continue to play until the 30 days they have paid for runs out? I know this sounds like a silly question, but with all the errors that have been occurring with subscriptions I wanted to check.

    Yes, I'm one of them. You can continue to play, if you want. The question is - do you want ? You're welcome !

    Any NORMAL company, which runs an MMO, always keep your character(s), in case you decide to come back, examples from my personal experience is : SWG & The Secret World also NeverWinter, although I was talking about NORMAL companies, ZOS might think differently .

    Sigh... another "I've unsubbed, everyone look at me, I'm attention seeking" but still on the forums moaning like a little ***, and still playing in-game, what is the point of playing if your going to quit anyway? just got nothing better to do with your time?

    The only reason I'm on this Forum - its because I do enjoy drama and massive failure this game has become (hate money grabbing companies), I'm at work and got nothing better to do to entertain myself. Also - you got an "lol" from me - Have a Nice Day ! :)

    then by all means keep going and admin will see you to the door. You want drama go back to 4chan with your real family

    Not to me and many others it hasn't but sure everyone is allowed their own opinion (I'm guessing your one of them that agrees with the product of incest himself AngryJoe ) and isn't every MMO company out for the $? please name one that doesn't have an in-game store or sell unique mounts/pets or any of that ***...

    So, like I said, it's an ASSUMPTION, there's no guarantee in the absence of a positive statement.

    Q.E.D.

    Actually I meant a rushed released of the unfinished product, the game wasn't ready, but they released the tittle anyway hoping for a quick money maker, whatever it was done because a shareholders insisted - I don't know.
    And if something smells like $hit to you - check your pants first :)

    The fact that you have assumed it is an unsafe assumption, leads me to assume, you are not very good at assuming. u need proof use goolge. but it's just common sense for MMO's

    At least if my assumption proves true I'm not going to be upset, web forums like this are littered with those people who assumed the 'obvious' wailing and screaming like 5-years-olds when there assumption proves to be untrue.

    And LOL at your 'Google' reference, I tried "will Zenimax ever delete my character", nothing there either.

    Nice try, sorry you failed.

    something tells me you haven't studied much in game development processes. although those can happen. This game would have launched like this anyway. the bottom line is, if you dont want to help the game, be one of the people that wait until its better. Me I would prefer to support ZOS, when we Support ZOS, inverters do, when investors do, fixes and content updates (and CS improvements) all come at a faster rate. So basically by unsubbing, you are making the process take longer.

    @Fairydragon3 This is going to be my last answer to you, because you seem very upset and angry for some reason, and I don't want to add to it.
    If ZOS at very least had a working and functioning & dedicating CS team - I would gladly give them 15$ a month, trust me - its not an issue for me money wise. But I also have principals, and not paying any money just to be ignored, when I have an issue with the or in the game - that's why I unsubscribed.
    - Have a very pleasant day !

    I've also unsubbed and still have my time remaining. You can check on your account page for confirmation that you still have game time left. Also No one needs to assume that you character doesn't get deleted. Yes - it is common MMO practice that everyone knows about - but, if you want official confirmation, here is part of the email I got as confirmation of my cancellation:

    We're sad to see you go now, but we'll be happy to welcome you back at any time! Whenever you're ready to come back, your characters will be waiting for you, just like you left them. You can return anytime by resubscribing on the Manage Subscription page on your Elder Scrolls Online account.

    that is the problem with text, you have no access to information about my tone or body language. I'm just being logical, and "principals" sounds more like "pride" to me

    I wouldn't bank on them not deleting your characters if you unsubscribe. They still have bugs that aren't fixed that were reported in beta.
