If it's like any other MMO, it will be the same process. Log in, it downloads/installs, then you continue playing. Even if you don't buy the ex-pac it will probably install as your client needs to be up-to-date to keep playing the version you DO own. Newer areas will just be blocked off until you buy the unlock key.
That's how XI did it. Everyone got the patch come release day, but if you tried to zone somewhere you couldn't it would just kick you back out at the loading screen and tell you you need the expansion to continue on.
