Welcome to the peaks and valleys cycle known as Red99. It's normal, so is people over reacting to it and starting the same things rehashed 100x over. Population will spike and drop here, I tend not to blame in-game actions as much as other games that are released. DarkFall UW finally re-released and to the average PvPr that might have been playing this for nostalgia, it is an attractive alternative.
We're playing a 14-15 year old elf simulator game, how fresh and thriving with life can you expect it to be? Especially with the hate that this server drowns in, unless you're the hardcore type with thick skin it just isn't very fun. I expect the pop to continue to hover where it's at now until Verious or some serious PvP changes such as YT/Leaderboards/etc, you have to give the hardcore PvP crowd something else to grind out other than raids.
