It was over for me once item loot left. I'm not even sure what year that was but it was early on. It changed the whole game for me, no longer did no drop items that were so hard to get matter. The only way no item loot pvp was different from blue was a little added griefing from pointless pvp.
People complain about item loot asking what the point of getting items are if you can't wear it. Well you wear it when you are in a good group or around trusted people that are working towards that no drop gear. If you are backstabbed that person will be black balled and your friends will help you get back the 1 item you lost if needed. It makes no drop Planar gear all that much better when you can wear it on an item loot pvp server. All the hardships of everquest get that much harder and the accomplishments are then that much better. It is for sure the hardest version of EQ around and most players can't handle the downsides of it. Unfortunately most mmorpg gamers get blinded by a couple shinny items and miss the big picture.
As for p1999 making a pvp server, it wont' happen. Not enough resources or population to support it. EQ Live had how many blue servers compared to the few pvp servers? P1999 has only 1 blue server. There would need to be 5 blue servers before there could be a pvp server because you probably need 5,000 players before you get enough to have 500-1000 interested in pvp. This server needs the current population it has.
