There are dozens of people would commit money and time to a classic style PvP server if there was a trustworthy impartial development team running it with a clear, honest vision behind it.
It is consistently requested on player polls within the regular EQ community. I also think we're reaching the point where the original bad apples of EQ are growing up, so to speak. It may be easier to police and manage than it used to be.
Still, I wouldn't rush into it or just throw up a server and hope people show up. The best way to foster interest in it would be to keep working on the mechanics on EQ1999 and offer PvP outlets like guild wars, big events etc. People will naturally become interested in it and if another server pops up, people may flock to it.
Hell, a ton of people used to play on Rallos just because it was less crowded than other servers. They were willing to put up with the occasional fight to not have to sit in 2+ month rotations of content.
