Looking Forward: How Is Heavensward Launch going to handle Physical CE purchasers?

I wonder if this is a world wide CE box or the Japan CE box. I know 1.0 had different stuff in the NA and EU box sets. EU got a moldy coffee mug while NA got a cloth map. I hope it will be the same for all regions.

It sounded like in the video that it would be all regions, not just Japan.

If i remember it right, the ARR CE boxes were the same.

The cloth map was also included in the 1.0 CE EU box. The mug, the map, item code for the onion helmet, the diary book, the security token and a buddy pass (a second registry code of the game you can give to a friend).

This sounds an awful lot like servers will be down for a significant amount of time, similar to how 1.0 lead into 2.0. I certainly don't expect the full year downtime, but enough to warrant early access to 3.0? Can you clarify on that detail please?

there would be no early access. They will give out preorder-codes, so that people, who preordered it and have not the box in the hand at patch day, will be able to enter the new zones instead to still waiting for their box.
