Holocaust, FF, Force, Azrael, Doming, Heresy, probably missing lots etc etc etc.
There is a population around, plus all the randoms we've lost - they just can't compete with the current ruleset. Nihilum has the thickest beard lets just put it that way, and they have the exact time and place every time to flex their numbers/willingness to stay on top of an advantage gained by time investment/skill.
There are crews around, but this rule set makes you go heads up - which is counter productive to small crews that might be able to assemble/do shit faster. Or just be lucky and have their entire force around doing other shit and a mob spawns at a weird time and are already mobilized and buffed - which was how it seemed on live more often than not.
Either way this is all theory quest and I just look at the history of red99 as well as the current state of red99 and want to puke being this one of the last chances of a decent nostalgic live like pvp box - Rallos Zek policed itself, today gamers aren't so new and pathetic. This is the grief troll age of online gaming bros, the harder you grief the better rep and this ruleset hands it to ya. Shit exp loss alone I can't think of how many hours me and Tyrionn took away from poor party.

All of those guilds you mentioned with the exception of Heresy are exactly the people they don't want or need to try and attract back.
At most you would bring back 40-60 people with this. They have proven they wont play unless they can hit raid targets. High end raiding can only support 80ish active people max. Those types of numbers wont get us anywhere, except to try and screw Nihilum which your only objective in this argument for variance.
If you want to fix the server you need to focus on the BULK of the server. NON raiders. Look at blue, they have 80-90 active raiders and then 800 non active ones nightly. That is what needs to be focused on this server. The NON raiders.
