Rather than rules, this falls more on general MMO habits and faults of human nature. There are various reasons why this is going to (not "may", it's guaranteed) happen.
- In terms of general MMO habits, everyone is Lvl 1 (or around there). Dying means actual death, so if you fight at all, you'll want to be careful about it. The area directly outside of a first city (in any RPG, really) is always the easiest prey, thus being the safest way to get stronger. Now here's the catch, potentially 10,000 people are going to use this area at the same time. Fast respawn rates or not, that's going to be slim pickings.
- In terms of human nature, it's simple. You mentioned making an army. Who's going to lead it? In that world, you would assume the strongest person. Without going too much into it, one could already assume what a mess that would create.
Lastly, despite the large amount of protesting do you honestly believe some people in the group aren't HAPPY with their situation? Why would they want out?
Throw in mass panic, disbelievers, etc., and you'll quickly see how hard it would be to convince all 10k people to work together right away, if at all.
