Well trentn you hit the nail on the head with your post and confirmed exactly what i wrote above you. it died due to a combination of factors, one being the dev team got burnt out and did stop working on the server as much. This is because after all of the content that pretty much comes pre-loaded in a standard db install has been released then the dev team has to spend countless hours, and im talkin hundreds of hours here, to release quality content.
Most teams give up at this point, sometimes real life happens and sometimes they never intended the server to become that popular. All in all the team has to be very dedicated to keep on releasing content for there player base.
As i stated above, if the server was released again it would most likely be popular at first. But as soon as PoP is released and that gets old it would again get boring while players waited around for more content to be released and people would slowly find better things to do with there time.
All of the quests and scripts for that server I sent to Kinglykrab so if he or anyone else decided to try and bring it back its all there, maybe a few tweaks here and there in the code but its there. Adjusting mob stats is a trivial thing to do and could be done fairly fast with a small team.
