It's more like letting someone catch a deep breath before choking them - it's not gonna matter, it only prolongs the process a little bit.

If they want to make a serious dent in the population, they'll have to close the server for years to come anyway, with regular free transfer programs to try and get people off. A handful of last minute refugees aren't gonna change that in any noteworthy way.

The alternative is to just go ahead and pull an Odin, split the server and be done.
