Population falling?

You got to account for other details that would occur with a new server starting up.

How many new people would come knowing a new server was starting? How many old players would come back knowing they had a chance to start fresh again? How many established players on the old P99 server would go?

So many other pieces to the equation you have to consider other than the assumption a new server would lessen the total population of all servers involved.

No way in knowing that either, exactly how many would split from one to a new server...

I think it's more complicated than just saying, "New server = less populated server = bad EQ for all."

You seem to think that there are people interested in classic EQ who aren't already playing on p99 and that a new server would convince them to play on p99.

There aren't. There are a lot of people on this forum that think there are tons of people like them who are far enough along the spectrum to keep tabs on p99 but refuse to play on it because reasons. But that is like half a dozen malcontent shut ins who think they number in the hundreds.

Everyone who is interested is already playing, nobody is coming back for a new server, nobody would take interest if they already haven't just because a new server started up.
