The only things in that announcment that are exclusive to Exalted are the costume contests and the "do a trial with the devs" bit. In a way, Exalted is getting short end of the stick with the invasions because they are specifically low level while the other servers get "multi-level". They are assuming that the majority of characters on Exalted will be brand new ones.

Maybe I'll make a throw-away character for the events since, as has been intimated, it's probably intended as stress test as much as for any other purpose. Unless they're handing out paragon points or items from the store, I don't much care about prizes from the costume contests.

Here is some kind of promise that these and other events are not intended to be VIP-only. It's a "grand opening celebration" for Exalted, at least right now.
