early access ends when retail begins (in about 6 hours)

edit

at 11:59 PM on the 28th you have to enter a retail key or stop playing if you dont have one (my retail is already entered)

No. The Early Access Event finishes at the end of the 28th. It's a 48 hour event.
That means, you can play from the start of the 27th to the start of the 29th before you must enter a retail key. You can however enter a retail key at any time after the start of the 28th.

The event that is early access is 48 hours long. Yes, there are only 24 hours of exclusive play when preorder customers can play and retail can't but the whole 48 hours is called the Early Access Event.

You can play until the end of the 28th on your preorder key.

If you got early access, do you get to keep the characters you created?

Yeah, would be silly to purge again and have the cities totally overcrowded. Better to spread the user base around abit. So I doubt they will purge again.
