I realized something interesting when I first started out on P99: without a monthly subscription fee, there is nothing making me do this fast. I don't have to play a certain # of hours per month to make it "worth it." There is no rush. It could take months, or years, just to level-up or skill-up. Or to get decent equipment. And that is OK.
Like you, I certainly don't have the amount of time I used to. I have other responsibilities and priorities in life. Grouping might be a little bit tough in the off-hours - I am level 24 and often only 40-60 people within a two-level range of me during peak hours. Even zones with a lot of traffic are empty from time to time, and some zones are empty all the time. I have wanted to go to the Gorge of King Xorbb for a while but there's just never anybody there.
Take your time, make friends - it will be fun.
