MEA releases about 20 hours from this post in S.Korea, India, Taiwan and Malaysia. This is a short guide on how to setup a free VPN to connect to a Korean node to access the game early.
The guide is taken from http://ift.tt/1hOXlm1

Install SoftEther VPN Client with VPN Gate Client Plug-in (only once at the first time). Download the special version of SoftEther VPN Client which has the "VPN Gate Client Plug-in" .

Extract contents of the downloaded ZIP file to a folder. Execute the setup program which the filename begins with "vpngate-client-", and proceed with the installation.

If the selected VPN Gate Server supports both TCP and UDP protocols, a screen will appear. Choose either TCP or UDP on the screen.

I haven't heard EA banning anyone for playing a game early, but don't do this if you aren't comfortable with it.
