Sept 27 Publish

Is scheduled for 6 hours, with patch notes, as usual, only available after...

But since I like to speculate, should we assume this is Freedom going completely live? In other words, will Premium and Free accounts be active tomorrow?

They already are.

Old inactive accounts are already reactivated as Premium, but this week new Free to Play accounts will be available as well:

Yes, but "this week" doesn't mean Tuesday. It could happen anytime. Soon™.

You'll note that I never mentioned it would be Tuesday in my post.

True, I just didn't want the OP (or anyone else) to conflate the two ideas.

Yes, always glad for extra clarification.

Thanks everyone for details.

Fair enough.

All that being said, I am at least guessing it will be Tuesday.

It's possible that one of the changes will be activating the "create account" button.

It's also possible that some premium and old free accounts will not become active by Tuesday. Conversion of old accounts and creation of new ones would be unrelated.

I am still betting on Wednesday at the earliest, to allow for problems showing up from the publish on Tuesday. Thursday wouldn't surprise me. But Friday would be too late, unless there were some big problems from the publish.

Oh, if we're assuming, we should go for the gusto. I'm assuming that VIP players will be getting Nemesis Ponies.

Nope. Premium accounts were being activated systematically and MAY be finished by now. Free accounts don't exist yet.

This would be an acceptable substitute for being able to ride Free players as mounts.
