I think they have basically 1 hope.
IF Nost is so popular that it ends up with 2-3 hour queues, some of the overflow could go to them. And I think there is a good chance that Nost will be that popular. I made a couple of toons over there today for two reasons -
1. to practice for Nost (which was useless, because it was so empty, our PvP starting area is more populated)
2. insurance - if Nost is so popular I can't even get in to play, I would be pretty sad after all of this waiting. SR would be a let down, after all of this hope. But it wouldn't be too bad, if a bunch of others felt the same way, and just wanted to be able to play. So just in case, I made a couple of toons, and I will dick around a bit over there this week, and if there is a large overflow from Nost, at least I will be out of the severe crush in the start zone.
But I will be camping the realm list here, and refreshing the page like a mad woman, hoping to get in. I have two friends. We plan to do it in shifts throughout the whole day, if we can't get an actual start time. So I think we will have a decent chance to get in here. But I have been stuck in 2-3 hour queues numerous times back in Blizzard's first year of operation. So I'm doing whatever I can to be prepared for that eventuality.
