I have said this before, if you want a red crowd you need to have a server that is more about pvp than pve, the rules on this server are masochistic in the extreme unless you are a bluebie through and through.

Red players dont play to grind
dont play to get gear
dont play to camp shit for weeks
we play to pvp, all that other shit is what we put up with in the mean time.

the one change I mentioned that would probably bring me back was the reduction of downtime. out of combat hp/mana regen rates should be tripled. less time spent not killing crap including each other is more time spent killing crap including each other.
For me that is the reason i think the server is losing pop fast, that pvp is not the major focus of it. Its a pvp server where the rules are made for people who dont really want to pvp all day and is just so they can determine who gets to poopsock where. I dont see the old Rallos crowd enjoying this server because its quite different, on rallos you had daily hours long pvp sessions, not here.

So basically the pop left is the ones who left 99blue because they wanted to pvp for camps instead of msging GMs, but wanted the difference to stop there.
