to keep playing, how do I pause my account without losing my characters?
You can't.
Just call SE and say you want to cancel your Content ID's. I've done it a few times, for up to 6 months one of the times, and my characters were there when I reactivated.
I google'd as much as I could. I've been reading that the TOS says you can cancel the account ID's and for 3 months they'll keep the character and will charge you on the 3rd month when reactivated, is this true/and will they charge for all 3 months even if you didnt play?
They'll keep them for a lot longer than that. I turned on an account last month that had been deactivated for 2 years.
No, if you cancel your IDs you don't have to pay for the following month(s), provided of course that you don't reactivate during said month.
The original TOS says that they'll keep your characters for 3 months of inactivity (IE 3 months of not paying). However, their policy is different now and you can pretty much reactivate whenever you want and still have everything.

POL > Content ID > Cancel ID.
Nothing will get deleted. Reactivate when you can pay again.

Thank you all, mods can delete topic.
