The reason there are fewer quakes is pretty obvious. Especially more obvious by recent lead GMs blistering reply to a recent petition which in short form said "this is bullshit, you guys figure it out yourselves"
The top guilds in P99 act like 40 year old children 90% of the time, they argue and bitch and moan over mobs that are not only 26 years old , but 5-6 years old on this iteration. Less quakes is less petitions and less head aches less having to "clarify" bullshit.
Your original post is also in need of correction. People dont play those servers for "Ease of loot" but for ease of ACCESS TO CONTENT. If someone gets off work and wants to raid with their friends, they shouldnt have to hope for a evening quake or that their play time lands during a late window of a 16 hour spawn window, and even if it does spawn you have to fight over it with degenerates who sat in that spawn window for the full 16 hours.
P99 is probably the best version of Everquest there is if you want the classic experience 1-60 but once you decide to raid, its unrecognizable. The combination of that and these other servers actually allowing you to fight the mobs on your own schedule is why people flee. I doubt even some of the big guilds like socking windows, but for some reason they do it anyways because the culture of this raid scene on the server has engrained it into their brains that its the only way.
At the end of the day, I doubt the staff give two shits what the population is though, its a free server.

To be frank, your perspective seems somewhat biased and a bit resentful. Should the actions of a few individuals, or your personal dislike for the raiding scene on P99, spoil the experience for everyone else? Certainly not. And please, let's not use the excuse that it's a free server. These individuals volunteered to assist and should perform their duties to the best of their abilities. Currently, the server is quite glitchy, with some encounters not functioning due to insufficient server resets. Additionally, the lengthy spawn windows and lack of quakes are making it difficult (and less fun) for smaller guilds or those who are less intense overall.
