You said it had the lowest pop I'd like to facts cause my memory says different but I could be wrong also.

Your memory fails you. I don't know how to offer proof for this.
Although there were a bunch of people on SZ for the first month, the numbers fell sharply after that with all the people jumping ship saying how much it sucked to get trained, attacked while exping, corpse camped, etc.
Within months of SZ's creation, VZ and TZ were still getting 900 to 1000 people daily and SZ was riding round 350 to 450.
Lady Dagarmo's pet project was deemed a failure very early on.
Here's the problem and this is key: If you have 500 people on a PvP server, you're going to have 500 different play styles. Some are going to be all out pvp with no interest in leveling, some are going to be all out pvpers with interest in getting up to high level. Some are going to have moderate interest in pvp and moderate interest in PvE. Some are going to have higher interest in PvE and less interest in PvP, so and and so on.
SZ ruleset favors only the uber Red and the uber Blue, and the people who just like to be ass holes. The ass holes corpse camp newbies for no reason other than to be ass holes, the uber red keep everyone on their toes and the uber blue end up having a gear advantage and what you're left with is a single uber guild mixed with uber red and uber blue folks with a huge gear advantage, kicking the shit out of the rest of the server which causes disillusionment and quitting or rerolling.
