Yup. Excellent advice indeed. Me and the other 600-800 peak players missing seem to have taken it.

You might be being a little (or a lot) presumptuous with this statement. I am one of the 600-800 people missing (or I was), and it is not because I wanted to box. My opinion on boxing is it ruins most of the real fun of EQ (group based open dungeons) and turns it into a solo grind akin to the plethora of modern mmo's out there, including many free ones.
I think a lot of people are not playing now because Kunark has been out quite awhile and the population has settled, for various reasons. The population always jumps back up when things get interesting again for the hardcore people who do everything faster than the casuals.
Besides all that, even with the population at 300-400 in the evening, I have had no issues getting groups lately since I returned. Some areas are more populated than others, and the populated areas change from night to night it seems, but most nights I end up grouped and having fun.
Boxing would likely make even less people want to group, so someone like me that plays EQ for the actual grouping would have less chance of finding a group, and I don't like that option personally.
