Put it simply.. it'll never work..
RVR/PVP - You need a LOT of people for this, since the world is quite large. It gets boring to RVR and have to 'hunt' for people to fight.. (How many servers can handle 20+ people?)
20 people.. that's 1 group per realm.. And, that is a BIG server!
PVE - You need a LOT of monstors to exp. That is because combat is fast-paced (Especially for groups!).
Look at how populated EQEmu is. Most EQ mobs are 26-32 minute timers in a dungeon, heh. Fights last long. You don't need a ton of kills to exp, wheras in DAOC you need SO many kills because each mob gives less exp and dies faster and easier.
You'll need SO MANY DB editors that you'll never have a near-complete DB that is populated well-enough to enjoy the gameplay.
Best of luck.
