Here LGuk is a mostly empty wasteland because overpowered individual toons with nothing more productive to occupy their time and interest solo-camp lower level group content for hours on end. This community needs Velious.

Not exactly. You make a point about Velious late release affecting the server, but it isn't the cause of all problems.

Even if Velious had been released three years ago FBSS would still be perma-camped in lguk...just like it was on live.

Its a good item that basicly every non-planar melee toon on the server would use. It can be solo'd at pre-lvl 50 by some classes and sells for 8k-ish. It was perma-camped in classic, kunark, and will continue to be in velious. The price may drop a bit as a couple new haste items enter the game, but it will hardly become worthless.

Every woe of p99 is not the fault of the timeline, somethings are just authentic EQ problems. Lguk isn't over camped. The Frenzy and AM camps are because they are lower lvl content that drop needed items (i.e. have value even if you wouldn't use them yourself). Most of Lguk is open for exp groups, and there are a few PUG groups running there on most nights. Most of the tower nameds are not perma-camped, with the slight exception of sage sometimes and ASS/SUP. The zone, in other words, is being appropriately farmed for the era of the game we are in...and it will not change with velious release.

:shrug:
My experience on live was that when Velious content opened up it became possible for a casual scrub to get into frenzy camp without having to wait 6 or 8 hours for a spot. After items like Silver Chitin Handwraps (or whatever the hell it was) started flowing in and devaluing the FBSS frenzy was semi-routinely open for extended periods of time during low pop hours on the server.
