Leave Game /cry

Today i decided after many month of hesitating to cancel my playonline id. I canceled my 2 caracters after almost 5 years of ff playing.Not sure im doing the right thing but i cant stop thinking of FF 14 and that makes me feel i dont wanna put more efort in this game.For safety reason i havnt deleted my caracter if i want to come back to this game. Now for my question:
If i wait for more then 3 month, maybe 1 year to come back, do u think i still will be able to reactivate my account/caracters?
Accourding to SE they say it still may be possible to reactivate old caraters but in other hand it says it will be deleted after 3 month.
So what is right here? Can i come back after 1 year or so?
