We require teams. Then give each of the 3 teams a team-wide /ooc.

Not enough population for teams imo
As for other opinions:

PvE exp loss is dominant in PvP battles --The current hot topic is why population is dropping. Most sources point to exp loss on pvp. I personally believe it's not so much PvP exp loss, but the PvE exp loss. As classic as this factor may be, honestly, what % time in pvp have you guys actually been slain by a player? Most of the time, you're ganked when fighting a mob (such is my luck, even on my necro). I'm not so much worried about dying in pvp, more so simply getting snared and letting a mob kill me. And I know once I go back, there's a giant chance that it will happen a 2nd time. Harsh and demoralizing. No one wants to regain this lost exp that you spent hours collecting in your short-lived time compared to the oldschool days where our lives were EQ.
If you disagree, did you experience the classic adventure by leveling normally, or did you burst through any lvls via cb belts, pads, scalps, etc? How many levels honestly did you burst through levels via exp quests to level faster?

Classic grind is not euphoric anymore --Someone mentioned the glitter of the euphoric classic days when p99 blue first came out. As much as we loved that, most of us here ALREADY grinded through the p99 blue server and have to all start over, all burned out, and already had THE classic experience. People just want to have the classic experience.... just with a few tweaks. All of us, almost guaranteed
all of us, are from p99 blue that are here right now.
People arguably don't want to grind at lower lvls to get where the action and fun stuff is at when they JUST probably got lvl 50 on their p99 blue char. Keep the holiday bonus in the game and it's still slow as hell, but you feel good seeing your exp bar move slightly more than usual.

Holiday season [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Don't forget that a lot of people are taking a EQ break. Surely pop will go up a bit after this.

Altered P99 -- Some people are still stuck with the mindset that things are "NOT CLASSIC!"
but in reality, a lot of things that are implemented that are not classic are keeping people here. What would you do if you couldnt see the dot tick dmg? see the magical ding gfx that make you feel warm and fuzzy? The new LFG system to help us group without giving away too many game secrets (location info) / spam that world chat can bring? (I was for OOC, but now i'm not with the LFG system in place after considering someone entering the zone and someone saying "XX name in zone!" to the world). And a few things in the future, perhaps. We've had the classic experience .. now how about the classic experience a bit tweaked for the sake of our pleasant experience instead.
You guys ever play Ocarina of Time recently after remembering how cool it was? ..Not that cool as it was in my memory .. could use some tweaks to make my experience better [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] Just a comparison.
