Whats up and welcome to the server! If you're just starting out, myself and a couple others are trying to put together a static group to relive that experience you're talking about. Plan is to only XP together at our scheduled times so we can all stay around the same level and always have a group ready to go right when we login.
Sounds like you're looking for a lot of the same stuff we are, so it'd be great to add you to the group.
