As a lvl 14 chanter, I'll outline my experiences:
solo 1 to perhaps 7. Nice folks at the gates will give an occasional buff or even an item!
After that get in an orc camp in EC. That worked for a couple levels. After that, it's not that easy to group..I've solod the vast majority of the time. But I also haven't walked up and asked to join every group. Other than that orc camp, most groups I've seen are "guild lowbie groups." Meaning it's their twinks and others usually aren't welcome.
This is the most classic experience you will get; but you will also see plenty of PL'n and twinks here.
That aside, it is still a thrill to play old EQ. And if you play a group-required class like tank or cleric then you will most certainly get more groups than I.
I did meet a few cool folks to group with in befallen around lvl 8 or so; but haven't seen them online since.
I'd say I bump into 1/3rd cool people and 2/3 snobs.
My honest assessment.
