    The point of Early Access is to start playing earlier.
    Hope it clarifies.

    No, only people who pre-ordered are getting early-access. It's just that 3-4 day jumpstart. Not that much of an advantage, but noticeable for some.

    The main reason SE is doing this though is lower server stress. Only people with pre-order and MSQ finished will be able to enter Ishgard, while the rest will have to wait outside = the instance server won't get hit by 100% of eligible players on day one. One part will hit it on Friday, and the other on Monday.

    Well, the people who are most excited about early access are those who are gonna spend the entire day on all 4 days on the game. VERY noticeable difference there, ESPECIALLY for crafters, where being the first to reach the top can really make a difference.

    Let's be honest though. If you didn't preorder heavensward, it's probably because you don't even play ffxiv to begin with. If anything is gonna help the servers it'll be the MSQ requirement, not early access.

    I didn't pre-order it, or even going to buy it and I play it.

    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.
