There are quite a few persons who play alternate characters or are also casual like yourself. While the top-end of the server is vastly more populated at all hours of the day, the lower levels are still populated, especially during US prime time. People usually follow a common leveling guide unless they know they'll be meeting with guildies or friends in other zones.
Typically, the commonly accepted "hot-zones" for leveling are:
1-5: Newbie Zone
5-10: EC
10-15: Oasis, Crushbone
15-22: Unrest
22-30: Mistmoore
30-40: OT
40-50: SolB, CoM
50-55: KC
55-60: Sebilis.
The leveling is strongest in Unrest and Mistmoore (15-30), there is a noticable gap of groups in the 30-50 range, and then leveling picks back up again 51+.
The fantastic dungeons outside of this prescribed leveling path are usually either uncamped or solo'd by high level players. Make friends and don't be afraid to adventure to these other zones!
