How is the group situation on blue? Is it pretty common to find other people at all level ranges?
I see about 900 people on for the past 2 nights, but are they all high level? If I can't find many groups, I will go necro for sure.

The group situation on Blue is that if you don't have an Epic Rogue or Fungi Monk you'll be hard up to find one.
You rarely see Necros grouped or LFG past level 50, and Mages are even more rare. People will not even let you into group because of the rampant class fanboyism on Blue. These days you either Monk/Rogue DPS your way to 60 (cause you get groups easy) or Chardok AOE a cleric or caster. Shamans mostly solo, Druids have the largest class population yet the lowest percentage of level 60s.
Having said that, many people who play Necro and Mage are awful at grouping and give them a bad name. Truth is lots of people are bad at EQ - you run into them all the time. A lot of people are mediocre or suck (and really don't give a shit) and a few people are good and fun to play with. It just takes a lot more knowledge of the game to contribute effectively to a group on a Mage or Necro than it does on a DPS class - 99% of Monks and Rogues just press 0 and faceroll, 99% of Clerics do nothing besides sit and click CH once in a while.
Necros and Mages are both excellent group classes when played well. They both are great at soloing as well. The funny thing is is that people run their mouths about how much these classes suck when they've never even grouped with them. I'm in dungeons every night and I pretty much never are Mages, and every Necro I see pretty much sucks. I do have friends who are excellent Mages and Necros, and its a blast to play with them.
As far as grouping is concerned, if you roll Necro or Mage expect a tough time finding groups as well as catching a ton of shit along the way. People talk about the Red community being toxic, but the i-buy-Call-of-Duty-every-year bluebie community is stupid to the point where people are hassled so much when they play odd classes to the point where they mostly quit and roll a Cleric. Blue is full of assholes, too - lets not kid ourselves here.
