Does this mean: a) On the 27th a special account wide badge will be given out to everybody who has taken part in the Freedom Protection effort (regardless of which day they participated). or b) Only those who participate on the 27th will get a special account wide badge for taking part in the Freedom Protection. ???

The event is dubbed "Freedom", which means its not the server named Freedom (would have been hard for players on the EU to join said server)
So I imagine that there will be a Rikti kind of invasion (just with Praetorian stuff) happening on the 27'th.
(I hope to be wrong though, cause a full blown invasion with Praetorians taking and holding a game zone or parts of every zone would be great.
And then we would have to remove them or prevent them of taking new places of the town.

The event is (was) scheduled for a 3 hour period which varied by server. Only people participating in the Freedom event would get the badge, which would be account-wide, meaning that if you get it on one character, all your characters - past, present and future - would get it. EU players would not be left out because the list merge is supposed to happen before the event.
However, people were pretty upset that the badge would only be available for three hours, and only on one server, and that that server would be crashed because every player in the game would be simultaneously trying to log into it. So, according to Zwillinger's post (check the Community Digest, it's near impossible to copy/paste links on this phone), the announcement was rescinded and the awards were going to be adjusted. The old announcement can be ignored, pending the new announcement when they figure out how they're going to fix this.

Time: 4:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time (6:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Central Time)
Server: Freedom
I hope this is changed cause the server will crash and that's before the time I can log on so either way both are bad for me at this point
Keeping it Brutal !!!!!!!!

Sp more to come. Everyone on Freedom in the same three hour window could have been EPIC! or it could have been a crash that would be EPIC! in its own way - but once players brought it up as a potential problem, thay are now reconsidering.|
I moved the thread back to our staging area. Because the details of the awarding of the badge are likely to change by tomorrow at some point, it's better to just reset the conversation after we've had a chance internally to discuss the options. Thanks for the immediate feedback all and we'll repost the announcement when we're ready to re-present it to you. |

Freedom regularly hits red on normal nights; can you imagine what would happen if the devs went ahead with the 3 hour window for badges? I would imagine that it would quickly fill and become unavailable for future log ins. Seems pretty poor planning, as all the people logging in from other servers would block some people who actually consider Freedom their home.|

I don't play on Freedom normally (Infinity is my home server), so I would have definitely logged in (or tried to) to get the badge. Hopefully whatever decision they make will be a better one.
I find your lack of signature disturbing.
