Someone told me that skilltraining proceeds 2 or 3 server resets after I cancel. I thought that my character would continue to train until my subscription actually runs out. Which is correct?

Your skill training will persist as long as your account is fully subscribed, even if you cancel your recurring billing. Once the actual subscription time runs out, the training stops.

Way back in the day, this wasn't the case, and you could set a super-long skill to train and let your account lapse for a month and find it fully trained when you resubbed. This was known as "Ghost Training" and was done away with awhile ago.

In the cat-and-mouse game that is low sec, there is no shame in learning to be a better mouse.

You keep training for 72hours after your sub expires iirc.

^^ This, I set a 5 day skill off 3 days before my sub expired and when I resubbed the 5 day skill had completed. so I think it's still possible to get a few "free" days of training in.

I'm pretty sure I heard that when you unsubscribe, your skill points run backwards, and you lose skills, until you renew your sub.

Thanks for the answers, thinking of taking a break but there are some skills I want to complete before that.

And for every second you do not subscribe your pile of isk gets smaller. 1000 isk a second. Smile

Your health are going to decline. Big nasty hairs will begin to grow on your palms.
