Are Pirates being released in the next 3 weeks?

I really want to know if anyone has any idea if they will be released in the new 3 weeks, before the 2x exp is over in Yellonde.

I am thinking of starting my Pirate in Yellonde, taking advantage of the crazy 2x exp, and then transfer to Kradia when its over, but I don't know if this is possible or if I should just make a random character in Yellonde and take advantage of the 2x.
