Does making a chanter still make sense?

[Chulainn]

Hi all,
I played EQ for about 6 years when it got released, and its still the most addicting game I ever played. As I do not find any new game that fascinates me as much as EQ at that time, and I want to find the "good old feeling again", I want to ask how the population is on lower level zones? I would like to play a chanter, but if you have to solo until max level it might be a bit boring. So is it still possible to find groups?
