We recieved access two days before the actual 5 day early access advertised when you pre-ordered.
If you read the post from Bioware about early access and staggered launch, they pointed out that the first couple days the preorders were massive.
I know YOU PAID for early access but early access does not start for 2 more days. I believe we recieved these two extra days as to accomidate players regardless of when they ordered.
So, rather than start letting people in on the 15th they let people in on the 13th, this way more players will get in before December 20th.
Come Friday I expect players to be playing even if they ordered in December. We can have these two extra days to thank for that.
So chill peeps, wait to be aggro after the 15th.
