I think it's a bit of an exaggeration to refer to p99 players as an "army". There are enough to keep one server filled. A server they get to play on for free.
I don't know how well a real EQ remake would actually do. I have serious doubts if it would be financially successful.

Like T0lkien said it's not only the active P99 players that have been waiting for an oldschool slower paced less hand-holdy MMO to come out. That's just a small portion of the people out there that have been wanting a game like that for years. I mean hell look at Nostalrius (RIP) there was like 10,000 active players if you count pve and pvp servers every single night playing Vanilla WoW. Granted Vanilla WoW is a bit more hand holding and faster paced than EQ is but it's much less than current modern MMO's are. If you need further proof look at the success of the Dark Souls series. There is ABSOLUTELY a market out there. Just nobody has really gone after it and provided a decent product for that crowd in many many years.
