I've thought about this too. But, apart from some neat clickies and a handful of BIS gear, VP really wasn't game-breaking. Even if you had every item from VP, you weren't substantially better (gear-wise) than someone in a casual guild.
That does not hold true in Velious, as there is a stark difference b/w NTOV/Doze/Top-end Kael items and the items someone in a casual guild can achieve.
Secondly, Velious does not have a ton to do if you aren't in a raiding guild. It is also not as immersive a world as classic, or even kunark. As far as the dungeons go, Velks does an OK job of replacing sebilis, with the only problem being that sebilis actually had BIS gear in Kunark and velks doesn't come close). SG does a poor job of replacing HS (it is fun and challenging but there are like 2-3 items worth getting and they all drop from a super rare/random spawn mob with a minor dragon-difficulty PH). DN is similar to chardok for me, and it does a nice job of replacing it.
That being said, I disagree with OP. EQ, without PVP, becomes a boring game when there is no more content to be released, especially when you consider Velious' bleakness outside its top raid zones. A fresh server would be amazing.
