That seems unlikely to happen.
The forced logout will most likely happen during early morning or some other time when few people play. Then people will log on as they normally do in the evening spreading out the logins.

I.e. most players will likely not even notice this happening except for login queues being slightly shorter.
Perhaps it won't affect this, but for us DPS mains that already sit in hour-long queues each day (and not even in peak hours) having to basically not queue for anything when the announcement dings, wait 10 minutes after we're forcefully kicked to get back in (quite possibly still dealing with a player queue), and then queuing up for our hour-long queues, it's going to be an extreme annoyance.

I have plenty to do while I wait in a queue (I get my gathering down while queuing), but not everyone gathers in this game, and not everyone has hours upon hours to play. We don't know when the forced log out will be, and it very well may end up during a period of time that screws with some players because it's the only time they can play. It's unfair for SE to punish all the other servers just because they decided 2 weeks prior to SB launch (rather than sooner) to try and get Balmung's population under control.
