Not a chance.
I couldn't believe it either - maybe I shouldn't have jumped to that conclusion.

But why at all times was the pop number on project1999.org 20 or so higher than the total number of /who all counts? Guides /GMS?

The pop numbers from project1999.org are the same numbers provided by the server list. I would bet these numbers are "people connected to the server", which would include people sitting at character select. These accounts (people) are logged into the server, but do not have a character in the game world (therefore would not show up on a /who count). 26 seems very reasonable in that case.

Yeah, I'm on board with this accounting for the discrepancy. People tend to take sudden and/or long afks from EQ, or just log off their character for a bit to stay safe but intend to come back, so it makes sense there would be quite a few people just sitting at the log in screen.

I'm quite surprised that there are so many freaking druids. Everything I've read has always seemed to indicate clerics + shamans > druids at high levels. But I guess there are a lot of solo players/farmers who are in it for the travel spells, heals and kiting. Now that I think about it, sounds more or less like what Live was like back in 2000.

This is the most reasonable explanation I've heard or considered. Thanks!

All new sets of data coming next week...
