I'm curious to know the rationale behind this. Do you plan on finishing all 2.55 content and quitting?

Also, not everyone who preorders get EA. I switched to the OS X client, and I do not get EA, which is irritating.

3-day headstart is enough for some people to level a couple of classes to 60. Not to mention being able to cap the new tomes one extra week before the Tuesday reset. So yea, it has a small advantage.

Iirc, new tomestone will be released 2 weeks after launch, together with Alexander.

There will be no new tomes during EA that have a weekly cap.

Early Access is to sell pre-orders. Pre-orders make sales go smoother.

The early access period is enough time to aggressively level at least 2, if not all 3, of the new jobs. As someone who intends to maybe raid as a machinist instead of a bard, the level jumpstart is a valuable time saver so I can do the main story as machnist and not have the exp go to waste.

This pretty much. It's peace of mind. I want to be able to blitz through DRK, and be on par with most of the 50-60 folk who are going to be anxiously awaiting Alexander.

From Mr.happy's vids he stated that SE plans to have players start at tow different points to prevent the server form crashing akin to how we started 2.0 at 3 different city-states.

Early access is a blessing esp. for people who work....to enjoy it as soon as the work ends instead of when it would begin on the 23rd
