I would say Renaissance was what killed UO... Birth of trammel like a magnet has sucked in everything. all the new coming users, old users' wealth and items... everything. No more dangers, pretty much no more pvp + messed up in-game economy.... what this has caused was reduction of player-to-player communication and what fun is an online game when you just solo everything?
i think that's when most players actually left UO as far as user stats go.
