I don't think you know what the term "order of magnitude" means.

Hint: It's not a synonym for "a lot".

Also, SZ had very good pop numbers, especially considering most of its players were drawn from the existing PvP servers.

google..

"sullon zek" "lowest population"

Or,

"everquest" "pvp servers" "population"
"everquest" "pvp servers" "how many people play"

"rallos" "vallon" "tallon" "zek"

After searching, you can click search tools, then modify 'any time' to 'custom range' from 'year A' to 'year B'

Point being, you can't trust what people here say without quotes. Never do that.

For example from the top 4 or 5 matches:

Sullon Zek probably had the lowest population of all servers. In fact, I'm certain it did. That was because of frequent griefing, a bad economy that lagged behind every other server, and there were no GM's. Nonetheless, I liked the atmosphere. But it's not practical for most users.

Why would they make a new pvp server when the last one they made, Sullon Zek, has the lowest population and it was what people wanted at that time?

At a guess, (I played on SZ when it opened and up until recently) I would say that the low population of SZ is due to 1. the difficulty of the server (it is a harsh server unless its changed a lot since I left), and 2. there are already so many glaring problems with pvp in EQ that all pvp servers in EQ have naturally low populations. SZ is just the lowest of the low because of the difficulty factor.

The time the devs spent on BALANCING PvP could have been used to make the PVE better...and the 4 PvP servers were the lowest population servers. The Last one Sullon Zek, was the absolute lowest server population

Evil: 1783 - 39.9%

If you're trying to make a factual argument, you can't carelessly throw around a term that means "by a power of 10" and call it "exaggeration". Because that results in a much larger numerical difference than the word exaggeration would imply.

I mean, if you wanted to exaggerate your height, you wouldn't go around telling people you were 62 feet tall, would you?

So it's equally silly to claim that SZ had a 10x lower population than the other servers, because even if it was the lowest pop server, it was not nearly by that much.
