This.
I think if Velious came out in a timely manner it might have a shot at topping the record, but I don't think that is likely given how busy the few developers we do have are already. I don't know how big of an undertaking Velious is compared to what else they've done, but I've gotten the impression that they haven't done very much work on it yet, and if it is as sizable of a project as Kunark was, I don't expect it anytime soon. I think in that time frame, a lot of people will actually quit (not just take breaks with the intention of coming back like people did for Kunark), which will definitely hurt the whole return thing.
That being said, Velious is a huge draw for raiders - I'd say much more so than VP. Since a big chunk of the community is raiders, I think it will bring some people back, just not as many as Kunark.
