Velious is a lot of content for people to bite off and its all raid content, and the raid scene in everquest has always been for psychopaths and on p99 its even moreso.

So it makes sense that velious doesn't do much for population, because most people don't give a shit about it. Its basically a level 50+ expansion and normal humans were never level 50+ on live.

So ya. No reason for a pop increase on velious, only the people maxxed at level 60 and waiting to get elite velious content for themselves are pumped about the expac.

Plus people looking forward to farming silver chitin hand wraps babbaayyy and other stuff like that.

Mostly, its for raiders. Mostly, raiders are doing their thing. No one is running to server to see velious content they literally don't know exists.
