Pirates of the Burning Sea will go free-to-play on Nov. 29.

UPDATE: Flying Lab just announced that Pirates of the Burning Sea will go free-to-play on Monday, Nov. 29.

Flying Lab Software announced in September that Pirates of the Burning Sea would be going free-to-play this fall. Last month, the team sent out a customer service notification to past and present players that the F2P switch would occur "on or around" Nov. 22. Well, Producer Michelle "Misha" Williams has confirmed on the official forums that you won't be playing PotBS for free today:

"The 22nd was the earliest possible release date due to legalities of giving notice to players. We're expecting launch to be early the week after Thanksgiving."

She explains later in the thread that both SOE and Flying Lab decided it would be safer to wait to launch the F2P patch until after the U.S. holiday to make sure team members would be readily available to address any bugs that may arise.
