This is very true, the only puzzling thing is that people definitely used to give a shit about it. The classic PVP servers had very healthy pops back then

Everyone always forgets about relativity. The classic PVP servers had a healthy pop at the time when EverQuest had a healthy subscription base of 500k players. You have to remember that EQ had like 40 live servers... and only 4 of those were PVP. Which means roughly 10% of the population enjoyed PVP enough to play on them.

Compare that to P99 statistics. Roughly 1000 people, maybe 100 active on Red? 10% of the total and decreasing due to neglect.

Compare new server launches - maybe 3000 people, PVP would have significantly less but would maybe settle around 300 range.

There has always only been 10% interest in EQ PVP.
