I think someone put it best in a thread from a while ago in regards to pop: there were simply far more people and servers that were blue than red. the percentage of players remaining/coming back on these servers and playing reflects that, it would seem that for the idk how many blue servers more there were that the pop on blue looks like a blue server somewhere near its prime because so many other blue servers produced players of that version of EQ, whereas PvP and more specifically ffa PvP was a far less widespread idea.
tl;dr in classic more blue pop/servers=more 99 blue players, in classic less PvP pop/servers=less r99 pop
I guess one could also argue the same point about the quantity of blue emu v red
