Project 1999 was for a classic eq experience if you want something non classic look at a different project or ...pay... for your own server.
You would have far less people on your new server than you suppose.
Attitudes such as "go somewhere else to play if you don't like it" make the population suffer. The way most people who want to raid see their options as are:

A.) Join a raiding guild that isn't TMO and waste countless hours and days poopsocking and tracking to get maybe 1 in 10 mobs if you're lucky because you can't compete with 20-25% of the server with alts camped out at each mob.

B.) Join TMO and become part of the machine to get your free handouts or just to see raid content without putting up with TMO's idea of competition.

C.) Find somewhere else to play.

With the population as it is, it seems most people who want to raid chose B and C. The beauty of this server is that the devs do take feedback from the players and it's a very open and active community. This server is always a work in progress and there's always room for improvement and growth. To completely shut down any suggestions that aren't classic (btw this server can never be classic), even if it would help to boost the population and grow interest in the server is blind-sighted.
