It isn't very crowded. EQ servers back in the day had around 2k of all levels. This server has around 300 +/- of all levels. Finding groups isn't that bad, however you do have to deal with the occasional griefer in the PVE hotspots like Crushbone, MM, CoM. Best to make a group and go off the beaten path, the xp bonus makes it easy to level up anywhere there are appropriate mobs.
It is fairly easy to get groups, especially once you get past your teens. Before then it seems people only group in CB. As a shaman, I recommend you get a duo partner and you two make your own groups. You'll level insanely quick that way. Group bonus is huge, you'll get noticeably more with even just 1 more in group.
