Worth signing up at this point?

There is no shortage of new players just starting out as well as veterans of the server rolling alts. Sure, you will come across many twinks in groups but that just means they will be passing up on loots.

Some of the nicer players give away free gear on a regular basis. Kunark will (tenatively) be released some time this fall and there will be a swarm of low level Iksar alts on launch day, not to mention all of the new places to level that are conducive to groups and solo players.

There are no AA's on this server so it's not like you can't catch up. I think that's the biggest draw to a classic server like this one. The level cap is 50 for at least 3 mote months and then the cap will stay at 60 for for the next 2 years (possibly for the duration of the server).

You really have all the time in the world to enjoy the game any way you want to, be it doing all the quests you skipped back in the day or joining a raiding guild (there is no shortage of them). Tradeskills are still in their infancy as well and you still have time to catch up to the curve before new recipies are released if that's your thing.

Short answer: Yes, worth signing up at this point.
