Adding housing after a Maint. Why?

[KageTokage]

I'd hope they'd have learned from the log-in server crashing with every previous housing release that opening up the new wards immediately just makes getting a house even more of a crapshoot then then it already is, since you're having to contend with connection issues on top of actually getting to a desired house before someone else.

I'll be much less annoyed about missing a house upgrade this time around if I can actually log in before everything is gone this time around.
