My VIP runs out very soon and I don't want to renew it but just yesterday, one of my friends didn't renew it and he can't play on his character. He said it was "erased" I'm not too sure how true that is but he had to make a new account. So could someone shed some light on what happens when the VIP runs out. I know it says you get full access to your account but in this case he hasn't got any access to his account.
