Hmm, I didn't realize our forum 'total players' number included bazaar mules. That's kind of depressing. At least we list the bazaar count so you know how many of those are mules.
There are other reasons for the population disparities. Having AAs vs. not having AAs is significant. P2002 also is using p99's fame to their advantage. Rob had considered that name years ago but didn't want to 'leech' from p99's success in that way. TAKP devs also don't shill our server. Most users can't tell if mob stats were pulled out of somebody's ass or carefully parsed, either. I'm sure many p02 users found that server first due to the shilling and the name, and didn't realize TAKP existed until later (if at all); but once you invest the time to a server it's difficult to switch.
I agree that boxing is likely limiting our overall population. This cannot be changed without dramatically alienating our existing users so it's just not going to happen.
