That is a very real possibility. Remember that the world visit system is also being put in place so you can hop between servers in the same grouping. I'm not sure how well that will work if everyone's trying to visit congested servers, but it should let people visit the more open ones as well. You'd also be more likely to run across an available housing plot on one of the smaller servers in that grouping.
