Is there a particular reason why sebilis is dead on p99? Back on live it was swarming with people. Pretty much the place to be 55+. Last time I went there was like 2 players in there.

I think it's largely because of staff choices: they changed the meta of what counts as a camp, and also changed the positioning of the mobs around the fungi king.
Before (on live and here) Seb had two highly in-demand group camps: fungi king and crypt/emperor (plus other less-popular ones, like disco or bugs). People would happily come out to Seb to fill groups for those camps (or a lesser camp while they wait). As a result, the zone could support 24+ players.
But then the staff split crypt into four individual solo camps. P99 is all about efficiency, so if one Shaman is able to solo Heiro cloaks, that's going to become the standard ... even if it means there's now half as many highly desirable camps for 6-man groups.
Around the same time, the staff also did something (fuzzy on the details) with the mobs around the king, making it possible to farm him without less than a full group. Again, if you can just trio (or whatever) a fungi tunic, there's no reason to have a full group involved, so that became the standard.
With both fungi and CE gone, no one is gonna come out just to do Bugs or Disco, so at this point it's a BYOG zone. If it ever started to become a popular PUG spot again, the soloers/duos/trios would just take the best items and drive everyone else off.
