Starting next month

TLDR: how long does a PoF/PoH raid take on P99

I plan on starting up a P99 toon next month, in the mean time I feel like I have read every single page of the wiki, and I have a few silly questions.

First, about me: I played EQ not quite from beginning but before Kunark to shortly after OOW release. Causally at first, then hardcore during Luclin/PoP and beyond before moving to EQ2, WoW, AoC, Vanguard, and DDO. In EQ I had my main at max level and who knows how many AA’s, one “serious” alt around level 60, and maybe 2 more toy twink alts lvl 30-50. My first raid was Vox and I left when my guild was doing Rathe Council. I won’t say I did EVERYTHING in between, but I did a lot of it.

I don’t live for raiding but it is part of the game and i would like to get to do at least some low level raids. The problem is of course that I’m in my 40s and married etc. I will probably have a couple hours to play a few nights a week and maybe once a month a shot at a 4-5 hour stretch.

Is it correct to assume that Blue has a more active raiding scene, or if not more active maybe more efficient?
