P99 pop isn't in some huge decline. As has been stated many times it was bloated from the release of Kunark. Prior to Kunark hitting, it was 300-500 most nights as I recall it.
Of course 300-500 with kunark released feels much less than 300-500 in only classic zones. Sure, Velious will bring people back. I'm not confident they'll see as many for Velious release as they did Kunark simply because of the nature of the two expansions (one has a new race and zones to level 1-60, one starts at mid-game and focuses almost entirely on raiding). Though Velious will likely retain more high-end players for a longer period of time with more content to focus on.
