They won't say and I don't think they should either. There are suggestions that NGD may use this feature with bias. It is possible however, I am not looking at this as if this is going to be activated from day 1. If they do I still would not complain.

If the realm that is severely depleted in certain hours gets a block what is the big issue? It is not like they have anyone one on to fight against and have fun fort wars do they? All will happen is that the realm gets over run, loses gems, -XP , whatever and wakes up next morning to that reality. Where is the fun in that? Rather, where is the challenge in invading such a realm?
If you want the noble , the gem block does not affect you. Simply make them vulnerable, use the boat and do your quest. End of story. If you need some to fulfil your daily adventures then you hunt inside a bit.

I like it. it puts a slowdown on the positive feedback loops. Players who stay up to odd hours to ninja the system will see no reason to do so now. The ones who are in their proper time zone can now entertain themselves with fort wars. A balance will begin to emerge. I think this will serve the server the best in the long run. At that time there will be no need for gem block as populations gaps gradually close.
