How to get groups in underpopulated zones?

[kygamer]

Hello all, im fairly new to Everquest in general. Yesterday I rolled up my first toon in a VERY long time. Its a cleric. Always enjoyed healing.

Anyway, I want to explore alot, I really want to see alot of the world of Norrath. From what I gather though, if you stray too far from the beaten level path it can be hard to find a group. Any suggestions?

An example, Im nearly level 5, and according to some information on P1999 wiki you can have some success there at level 5. But apparently, no one bothers to level there. How can I explore new areas if no one ever wants to go? [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Am I better off as a solo class? And if so, which class is best suited to exploring and xping?

Thanks in advance.
