Play early?

[Razard]

So apparently if we preorder Shadowbringers we can play it as early as March 2nd I think. Does this mean we will get a beta version, or something like that?

You get the pre order items, the earrings and the minion, around that time. Not the game.

You get the in-game items early (March 1st, 2nd or 3rd... can't remember date).

That is a minion and the Aetheryte Earring.

Aetheryte Earring has an exp boost on it and it's ilvl will increase/sync to the current job you are using. Effect works until level 70. An item for catching up to level cap, or giving a boost to other jobs you might want to get to 70 before the expansion.

What they said.
