Balmung is in dire straights, it's going to be longer) risks Balmung dying as a server due to people quitting and no one new coming in. That's the truth. That's the reality. We'll see a bunch of old blood come back for StormBlood, then people will get bored and quit - and MORE people will follow. No reason for it, that's just how MMOs are. People don't stick around. They have other things to do. SE is choking Balmung and promising it can breath again later. It may be dead by the time that happens. That sounds dramatic, but it is a risk.
This will, without a doubt, happen, but I don't think it's the end of the world. When enough people quit/bail they'll likely open the server back up and the congestion will be solved. Yes, it could take a while, but I wager people will be too busy doing expansion things/playing with friends they already have to really notice.
