Looking too come back, have questions

[Fontell]

I'm currently waiting to get some funds IRL so I can buy a laptop with the sole purpose of playing p99.. I grew up playing from kunark-pop, can't wait too sink my teeth in, in the mean time I have some questions, I'm not good at navigating forums so I'm sorry if these seem like questions with easy awnsers. I have a ton of raiding experience in eq as well as wow classic (i am a scarab lord)and I'd love to level a character and see all the content. I'm not some scrub
1. What's the current timeline left for green server?
2. Is there an active raiding community(hard-core, semi hard-core, casual?)
3. Im pacific time zone, what's the most active times for people online?
4 sleepers tomb still a possibility?
5. I really want too play a monk, how popular is that class,would I be better off rolling something different or could I get into end game as a monk?

Thank you and look forward too seeing awnsers and possibly seeing you in game
