You just said it yourself, some are hardcore, not all. Some people preorder it, and EA is a bonus/perks for the preorder.
So again, it is safe to assume not all 700k subscriber with EA will login at the same time, due to timezone differences and geographic locations.
Anyway, think what you like. I am not here to force my thinking onto you that's for sure.
If you prefer to surmise at opening the server will be loaded with all 700k preorder customer and all legacy player, by all means go ahead. Who am i to say otherwise?

think what I like? unlike you, I don't think. I have facts to back me up:

We are expecting major congestion during the period starting with the Early Access on Aug. 24, 2013 at 2:00 a.m. (PDT) leading up to the official game launch on Aug. 27, 2013 (PDT).
If a large volume of players attempt to login to the game simultaneously, certain players may receive the following message: “This World is currently full. Players in queue: ##.” If you receive this message, we ask that you please wait until your login is processed.
In addition, in order to avoid server congestion related issues from multiple characters concentrating in the starting areas, we may implement restrictions on logins and/or the creation of new characters for a period of time after the servers open to the public.
We apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for your understanding.
