Velious and to a lesser extent epics will both likely have a greater impact on player population then either VP or red99, both of which I think primarily concern a small, but very vocal minority. EQ PVP is so quirky and silly, it interests a different kind of player then regular EQ, it makes running around as a 7xGM with trapped pouches in UO look like a well designed and intentional PVP system.
I'm glad VP is finally going in, but the attention it's received is absurd given that it's mostly just handing out pixel candy for 2 guilds. I don't think anyone is anticipating either guild to have any difficulty with the content.
