You might see a higher population but it will completely lack substance. That number is meaningless if it isn't people competing and putting effort into the server. I could run around the office and install EQ on every computer and create a level 1. Boom, +50 population...but meaningless just like this would be.
Then copy at lvl40, naked then, or level 50. Thats one of the reasons why i suggested a wipe, cuz people log in and face a brick wall of a solid month of soloing before theyll encounter any pop.
