Ultimately, the high-end raiders (almost by definition) will grow bored and leave this server. They will always want newer, bigger, more challenging raid mobs to fight (so, a server that is always growing new content and raising the bar). Putting on my raiding hat - this makes complete sense.
This "creeping boredom among the raiding set" is happening already, although there will still be two more big bumps to keep them going (Kunark and Velious) before the newer, bigger raid mobs finally run out.
Once those raiders max out everything, grow bored, and quit after Velious, I would guess that the server will have a very different and more casual, feel to it. A classic EQ playground for the ages.
