There are a lot of reasons people don't play these EQ PvP servers. It is safe to assume some people that want a 1 box server didn't enjoy Red99 because so many people cheated and they felt they were at a disadvantage.

Rise of Zek has a target for how many people they want to be able to down content. It aims for 18-24 real people. What is nice about that number is you can have a core of 6-10 players recruit another 10 or so people and make a guild. You aren't required to then have 80 people in the guild on a 200 person server just to come up with 40 characters needed to down content.

2 boxing is a solution for a better end game dynamic with low population servers. No one thinks it is ideal and would rather have 1 box with 400-500 population but I think that is a crucial number needed for there to be no issues. A 100-200 player population on a 1 box server will force the 80+ raiders on the server to all be in 1 guild.
