According to

EQ population peaked at 550k between 2004 and 2005,
that would be between "Omens of War" and "Dragons of Norrath"
expansions.
I would bet it's not any particular expansion, but WoW/EQ2 coming out that caused the population drop.

To the person who said that many ports are still useful with PoP - most of ports listed are for Velious zones, which fell out of favor as later expansions came out.
My druid wasn't making much plat porting on a server that had PoP.
Half my guild was gone overnight, almost. Wow sucked ass at the beginning connection-wise, so they came back for a little but the damage was done.
