Assuming you mean OCRP, the answer is simple:
OCRP won't regain population. Not with OCRP2 being close to release.
OCRP2 however will regain population, at least it will for the first few weeks. I can't say for sure if it will keep populated. And I don't think anyone can.
Also, moving this to general discussion. (This doesn't belong in social discussion)
