If it's announced and the people are anywhere near or around where they can log back in... that just means there's going to be a "new wards added"-esque stampede as soon as the servers go live again. So there's likely to be just as huge of a queue then as everyone tries to flood their way in.
Maybe you'll be one of the lucky ones who loads up the connection fast enough to get in... but how long before it's back to being stuffed to capacity again?
That's just it. It solves nothing ither than scrambling the login and forcing thousands upon thousands of people to all try logging in at once. Some people will be booted, but I don't think enough will be to make a massive impact. Time will tell, I guess.
And some coworkers and I were discussing their logoff measures. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to use a client-based logoff function instead of capturing the IP upon logging in and dropping it?
