Mark this date on your calendar...just got an email from Full Tilt and my account has been reactivated. Can't wait coz I'm really tired playing at Stars. Hasn't been going well for quite some time now and need a change of venue. Sorry to say the only accounts they're reactivating are non US. Anyone else hear from them?
There's gona be alot of happy people, played there way more than Stars. The email says they're going to run FT independantly, they garanty the support will be first class. I'm sure there will be new promos to get people back and of course for new players. They didn't mention if the software will change. There is supposed to be a follow up email to the one I just received.

You should mark also this date in your calendar: 12-th December 2012 the end of Time Full Tilt Poker have given players fresh assurances in a communication with the poker world, confirming "normal access to Full Tilt player accounts" and "access to total balance without restriction". Meanwhile, Full Tilt's flagship tournament series is set to return on December 2.

I still haven't got nothing, maybe i should also check on my spam. November 6 seems very nice to me, it's perfectly in time to make good there before my birthday (in the end of November). Now, about the game there, remember the owner will be the same, so we may feel like there's a bit more similarities between both sites than before. I hope at leas they have a better rakeback offer than Stars...

wooohooooo not long to wait really looking forward to play at full tilt- probably this is just nostalgia, they were one of my first poker rooms- first one where i received a no deposit bonus, and in general it was a very user friendly poker room. waiting eagerly for my panda and dracula avatars see you at full tilt

I got the email but I can't say I was as excited when I read it. Although I still have the software on my laptop and it is one of the few clients I can play on my mac, I've sort of got used to not playing there. I don't think I have any funds left on there now so I'd have to deposit. Maybe when bwin closes and my account is merged with party I will go back to full tilt and see what the software is like now pokerstars owns it.

I also got the email from Full Tilt today and was surprised. But there is not any interesting info in it. Nothing that we haventt heard about it so far. Here is a copy paste of it for those who didnt get it :
Full Tilt Poker will re-launch under new ownership on November 6th, 2012.
The Rational Group, which owns and operates PokerStars, acquired assets of Full Tilt Poker in August 2012 and appointed new senior management to re-open and operate the site as a separate brand to PokerStars, providing the online poker community with another high-quality poker platform.
Following re-launch, you will have complete access to your account - including your full balance - and you can once again play on the innovative online poker platform that made Full Tilt Poker home to serious online poker players.
This means you'll soon be able to return to the Full Tilt Poker games and tournaments that you've known and loved for years, secure in the knowledge that your experience is now backed by the same account security and game integrity that millions of PokerStars players have trusted for more than 10 years.
Full Tilt Poker now operates under a license in Isle of Man, which is among the most trusted and rigorous e-gaming regulatory jurisdictions in the world. The Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission maintains vigilant standards for e-gaming, particularly the safeguarding of player funds. Information on these standards can be found here.
Since August, we've been carefully reviewing all Full Tilt player accounts in preparation for re-opening. In the coming weeks we will be completing the restoration of all non-US player accounts including yours, in preparation for re-launch day.
What this will mean for you: normal access to your Full Tilt Poker player account with your current password renewed access to all Full Tilt Poker real and play-money games access to your total balance without restriction, including withdrawals We thank you for your patience during this time. We will update you further as re-launch day approaches. For more information please see our Full Tilt Poker account FAQ.
In the meantime, we welcome your feedback and ideas to help make Full Tilt Poker your number one poker site - please click here to visit the feedback page.

Man I'm so jealous! I miss playing there so bad and just hope they reactivate the site for U.S. citizens / players. I still have between 100 to 170 dollars in my BR so I would be glad to be able to start out with it.
Good luck and keep posting as to how things go once your playing and any news about their intentions for others.
I've never played there and I'm curious about this site!
