Everquest PvP is like this idealized dream, where people imagine all this fun they would have doing it. I played my entire career on Tallon Zek, and EQ PvP winds up being one of two things: You're either getting ganked at the zone line or you're camping a spawn and then you're stunned and blasted to smithereens. And now your corpse is getting camped too. Now, I love that shit but the vast vast majority of people do not. They think they do but after getting rolled a couple of times they realize what's up. The Zek servers populations were consistently the lowest, and that's because if you weren't hardcore and if you didn't have infinite patience and time you would be driven off the server. This is why P99 red will never succeed. There's just never going to be like 500 people consistently into it, and you're not going to have a viable server with less.
