And for me the core issue is my wife, a friend and another friends son are boycotting me continuing to take our group to kedge for level 50 group content.

That's not the classic experience my wife remembers or wants and the friends son hates watery deaths I guess because he's under 20.

My half elf warrior wife likes shinies and remembers camping the frenzied, king and efreeti with full groups and she would like that classic experience again. Farming plat and buying it in EC isn't enjoyable. If you're not playing the game as intended and in groups and with friends and family slaying monsters and getting upgrades from them then what are you doing?
So, again, the issue is that you want to be able to take your full group and camp a spot. That's not really realistic in classic EQ, or at least it's not a realistic expectation for those super popular camps you mention. You have to be willing to wait your turn.

I'd also add that if you think splitting the server will suddenly allow you to take a full group to the camps you named and expect it to be empty, you are in for a seriously rude awakening. Those camps will always have groups (or a soloer) at them due to their value, and you'll need to be prepared to surrender your static group in order to play at those camps because people will need to wait on the list to join. I played on both Green and Teal and once people got to sufficient level I saw those spots perma-camped on both servers...two servers will not suddenly cause very popular camps to be vacated. This is, yet again, why I suggested that a group of several people all wanting to play together and camp the very popular spots may be better suited for the TLPs where there are pick zones and instances.
