(this does not include folks that pre-ordered the CE that will be picking up in-store)
According to our sales team, we're not sold out completely of Collector's Editions.
Therefore there's a chance there will be copies in stores on release day. I have no information on which retail chains may have them, however.

We'll be gradually opening servers throughout Early Game Access, although by the end of December 13th we'll have quite a lot.

Or similar - that would be clean talk and assures, that no one get screwed over!
Thanks in advance
Effectively that's telling individuals when they'll get in, which we can't do. If we did that, the likelihood of someone, somewhere getting 'screwed over' is high - because they'll think they're on (say) Day Three, and end up in on Day Four because of some reason we can't predict.
We're guarding against the uncertain, here. We may allow a load of people into the game on Day One, and find an unknown bug that causes severe problems. A server could blow up. A hurricane could hit a data center. We don't think we will have these sorts of issues - and large scale testing has not given us major problems - but we are being cautious.
