How long until an account expires?

I'm planning on going away for a few days to a location with no internet access.
I'd prefer not to set my account on vacation mode, because inevitably I will cut my trip short and be upset that I can't login.
Can someone tell me how many days until an account expires from the user not logging in? I'll probably be fine but want to be sure!

As far as I know it doesn't. I didn't play for almost a full year and my account was fine...minus a character.

Wow, sounds like I'm stressing about nothing then!
Can anyone else confirm this?

As far as I know, it is something like two weeks.

And I believe you can play even if you set you account on vacation. You just have to set it back to normal and reset it after checking. I'm not 100% sure though.

I too believe that the description of holiday mode is harsher than the reality of it, but I guess we won't know until someone tries it.

You can turn off vacation mode any time you like, you don't have to wait until the set time has passed. In fact it might be that if you set up a vacation time longer than two weeks, then your account will expire the moment it goes off vacation mode. I hope that's not really the case but someone said that the expiry time sure isn't vacation time + two weeks. I think it should be.

I agree. It would indeed be a cruel joke if someone'd wait for the expiry of the "on leave" period to be able to play again, just do see his account time out .

That has happened. Set the time for longer than you intend to be away.

Does your account really expire after 21 days? That's odd because I ignored my account for much longer than that and it was still here.
