I think this is a pretty good post. But my opinion is that you can't fix this server the way people are asking without double or triple the population, and what is going on with RD/Nihilum at the high end isn't what is causing population issues.
What I think we can do though is talk about some changes that may keep people involved once they decided to start here, implement some of those changes and then have some events to attempt to grow the population.
I'd say my first suggestion would be put the PVP range to +/- 4 like RZ.
Another would be to increase exp rate bonus from 1-50.
The third would be to get commitment from guild leadership of all major guilds to have guild sponsored events for the lower level population. Be it level 20-30 PVP tournaments (Mrbigs could be a boss mob..take him down and win a CoF or something), guild plvl events, item raffles, whatever. Do what it takes to change the outside opinions. Maybe get some blue players to reroll, who knows.
Probably not popular with a lot of people but whatever.

A larger population would just add to the zerg and lag problems when it was 100 vs 100 in two guilds since Nihilum recruits no matter what their numbers are. You say this server needs population but you should be able to do any encounter with 24 people logged in. Instead there are 40+. If Nizzar had the choice between 60 members and 100 he would choose 100. If Nihilum did the right thing and instead of becoming the power house number 1 zerg, tried to become the power house number 1 elite guild, the server could be fun.
You wouldn't be in Nihilum at that point, so there is some added competition to the server right there.
