Well, we as players have also become more efficient at things, requiring less people to do the same work.
EQ never had 4 million players during the classic era (if ever), even across the 20-ish servers. All the data I've seen has it peaking around 2007 with about 500k subscribers, and during the classic era they peaked around 250k (and climbing).
I would not doubt it if P99 has more accounts "per capita" due to it being free. And at this point, being stuck in Kunark for 2+ years, we certainly have more top-level characters than classic era EQ.
