Coolness! I wonder about these exclusive items though...I want one that summons a chinese gold farmer to farm for me!

you'll be lucky Last time it depended where you preordered; e.g. europe got Chimeric Prism (an offhand) which was about the most useful. But this time sounds like all preorders will get the same thing, and if its like the originals, they won't be 'perfect'; more for use low to mid-range of the game.

well, that's shitty. I want perfect stuff. What's the point in preordering otherwise?

And what's the release date? If the beta event is March 24th, then full release must be several weeks later, right?
