I think it's painfully obvious why the population has decreased. Two major factors have contributed to it, in my opinion. These are:
1: Hype. This server was hyped up so much, it was going to be the next big thing. Then when people realized it was just another EQ server, they decided to go back to their main and play the char they put hours and hours into with less risk of wasting time.
2: Exp Rate: Without going into classic/hardcore gamer arguments, lets face the facts. Most of us are older and simply don't have the time to grind out the exp. Softcores argument is that EQ doesn't start at 50, well for me it does. I've played the game over and over and over, that when I go into crushbone, I'm not in it to find friends, I'm not there for immersion, it doesn't have nostalgic value, I'm there to grind, get EXP and move on. I want to get to 50 as soon as possible to raid/group at high end dungeons/PVP with GEAR AND SPELLS.
Lets be real. We've all done these dungeons for hours and hours on end from years and years of playing. I really just want to get exp and loots without sacrificing sunlight and decent meals for 12 months.
