I'll probably try, but if I can't get in within 5-10 minutes I'll likely hit the ground running and head to one of the other areas and hopefully snag a dream plot, because there's no way that there's going to be any medium or large plots left in Ishgard by that point, but probably some small plots here and there.
If you dont already have a house that qualifies for relocation, switching to the older areas early wont benefit you much. The houses that open up when people transfer out have the timer on them unless this is something they chance between now and then. If you do have a house and want a better one, your plan is fine. If homeless then still shoot for your dream Ishgard plot, but if it looks like you arent getting it make sure you buy an Ish small while they are off timer(ideally get one you like, though if you want to just see this as a house to be transferred later so be it). Then with a house(well, empty lot) in hand, you can quickly swap to the old zones and see if something you want to transfer into is open.

I wish everyone good luck. Unless the new zone is amazing, ill not be leaving my current lot. In fact, if it isnt truly spectacular i wont even rush to log in that morning so i dont mess with anyone elses login/que/etc.
