"Cats on the moon" may be silly, but you can hardly say THAT is what "screwed everything up." If you want to blame Luclin for destroying EQ, then at least try to explain why it did.
On topic though, the server is still going very strong (650ish primetime?) after almost 2 years of Kunark. I can't imagine the server would lose much population (let alone die off) in less than that after Velious. Just having Velious gives everyone a lot more to do, plus it potentially will give people a chance to do stuff in the old world and Kunark that they haven't yet been able to, like kill some gods/dragons or see the inside of VP, finish the cockblock epics, etc.
