Wether or not item loot would have brought a more populated server, we'll never know for sure, although i suspect it would have, especially with no xp loss which would have let people have fun with PVP instead of having server hemorrhage tons of player through 10v1 gank train grief.
One thing's for sure, for myself, is it would have made for a less boring end life for the server.
Id still be playing once in a while if there was item loot, to gang on twinks harassing the rag-wearing new players, things like that.
As it is, i havent logged in in a year, even uninstalled months ago.
Can you imagine the forum quest goldmine of Andis losing his AoN the next day to item loot? You could mine that shit for weeks, MONTHS.
