Is the server overpopulated? Or is it something more?

No.

1) Server costs and adding a new server, and splitting population by a bit won't help things. You want a full community, right?

2) No/less trading, making everything no drop; also adds to cutting down player interaction, EC fun, etc. Then again, people may work/group more often in result of this may, which would increase player interaction.

1. I'd just toss variables/intangibles like costs and community out the window. Any ideas presented in this thread won't happen unless someone spins a brand new project up and puts in thousands of hours of work.

2. I believe you'd still see a trading community around MQs and tradeskills. It would shift focus onto parts of the game which haven't been a focus in years due to min/maxing.

To support your "no" though, this proposed rule-set is pretty hardcore (people naturally want things without having to do the work themselves) and wouldn't ever have the interest level of Blue.
