    I think a combo of adding an extra 3-5 servers and an auto afk kick would pretty much alleviate the problem, assuming each server can handle around an extra 5k people. Thats 15-25k extra pop space on that assumption, I have a feeling they can handle more than that though.

    But to add a large amount of overflow servers has never been the best solution, especially not in this case. It happened with 1.0 when they added a bajillion servers and other games like warhammer had to eventually reduce their server size because of ghost towns. Server migration was never an easy process. What they could do is what they did in FFXI which is open new servers and allow people to migrate to them on their own to help spread out some of the server population to new servers.

    Ultimately if the game does shitty like 1.0 did then not only will people have a login problem, the game will get shut down and SE probably won't risk another financial catastrophe on an MMO.
