They may have temporarily halted new avatar creation so they can get an accounting of the avatars that are eligible for amnesty. Could mean that they are planning the start of amnesty this week.

No, they can't do that as the deadline is the 30th, not the 28th

They can do what ever they want and they may be getting an accounting then reopen it for the last few avatars or accounts that want to sneak in. That way most of the eligible accounts will already be prepped.

I agree, it's going to be a tough job "counting" and "organizing" the amnesty players. And I can envision that they would start early. Obviously, there are a lot of players to account for- ergo, it cannot be done in just ONE day..so that it can be implemented as soon as humanly possible.
If new accounts continue to be opened while they are doing this, then it would be like we were all standing in a line and then someone jumps out to run to the front or middle, which in turn, would create chaos while the devs are trying to count ones that are already here and then those jumping into the middle might leave tons out!
Imagine a huge large line of children where more than 10 keep jumping or moving around in the "line" and getting "recounted" and the devs would just have to count again, and again, and again. I see it as a sign that amnesty is moving forward, and today just happens to be "head count" day!
I'm not saying that Amnesty will be implemented immediately, but that they have began a starting point that it will prevent so much confusion when it does happen!
It makes a lot of sense when you think about it; and it will keep us "sims" much more pleased when amnesty is implemented (ie. The disorganized: "wait you missed me!!" e-mails- merely because another one of "your" sims was created and jumped into the middle by accident). It may also show that they are INDEED working very hard on Amnesty. (hopefully soon!)
...yep, I have faith that this is what could very well be happening!
