Is the PvP on Everquest actually decent? It seems more like a PvE game that had PvP sprinkled on.
If I joined I'd probably be an Iksar Monk. Would I get stomped by the good guys all the time or is it kind of rare to actually see people there? What kinds of things would I have to learn in order to succeed?

Its not good vs evil on this server. You make your own friends and your own enemies.
For me the PvP is really good in a group v group setting. 1v1 stuff usually ends up being a slaughter b/c one person was attacked while lom fighting a mob or something.
This is my first pvp server myself and I like the pvp more than I thought I would. I do not seek out fights for the sake of fighting, but I like the option if I want to fight for a camp or get revenge on someone.
Things to know(at least the stuff I have learned so far) -
Make friends. If you try to solo all the time you are going to be really frustrated by random ganks when you are low on hp unless you pick a really remote unpopular place to fight or predominantly play from 3am-10am est.
Buy pummice(vendor 5 charge nullify magic for 15pp). you can use this dispell your opponents buffs dispell root or snare if they land it on you or your group.
Check /who often. You always want to know who is in zone. It is also good to have an idea who is who, pay attention to what class a player is so you can prepare accordingly if they zone in. Also good to know who are the type to be looking to pick a fight and who are the type who might just be there to get xp and only fight if you step in their way. Once you are in a guild friends/enemies usually are pretty well defined.
Practice jousting - staying on top of a person meleeing is often not the best option, nor is it easily done since they will be trying to avoid you some of the time. I have never really played a melee pvp so I am not going to elaborate on how to do this, but I'm sure others can offer input.
