Based on Trion's original Archeage release, there are going to be a lot of annoyed people during the Saturday housing update. As everyone who played those first days knows, all of the choice housing plots will be claimed in the first minute after the server is back up - literally (that's not hyperbole) the first minute. So, if you aren't one of the few lucky ones to make it in game before the queue backs up, forget it. You're going to be living in New Jersey.
The only way around this situation (that I can see) is to activate housing via 'hot fix', i.e., not via a server restart. That way, several hours can separate server uptime and housing claims.
