Other than End Game

[Louien Thorngage]

Howdy,

Just assume the general introduction "hey, I'm new and played EQ during Kunark etcetra" stuff goes here. I know you have probably all heard it a dozen times before.

I actually have a relatively specific question to ask, as I am interest in getting on board with Project 1999 and playing some good old-style EQ. Here is the thing though, I am the elusive "casual gamer" who may play a lot one week, and then be absent a week, rinse and repeat. In EQ Live this usually meant that I never kept up with my in-game friends, but that was never an issue (as I can always make new friends), additionally I hate the gear treadmill, so end game never appealed to me. But what did become an issue was that eventually new people stopped playing EQ. This meant that there was almost no one to group with under level 60 or so, and as a lvl 48 warrior (at the time, this was after a hiatus and coming back post POP) that meant that playing the game was impossible.

TLDR; So I am wondering if people actually populate and play the content at any given level range, or if non-end game related zones are just dead?
