I have started many characters and leveled in the first 15 levels quite a few times now. There are always groups to be had, and new people to meet. You have nothing to worry about, server pop even at low times is like 600+

Sweet, thanks for that, it's encouraging.

There's 1000+ people on every night and the overwhelming majority of them are not raiding. Make a char and run around - the world is brimming with life

I know classic EQ (the first three expacks) and want to play again... I don't mind working for it, and I don't mind spending the time, but... Encourage me. Is it all solo until I am useful to the raiders?

What do you remember or already know about EQ? What classes did you play? Do you know how to interact with npcs? Am not sure what level of newbie you are from your post. The first thing most people think of when you mention classic EQ is difficulty and reliance on other people to progress but you asked if it was all solo so i cant tell if you know anything at all about the game or this server. The learning curve is steep but if you know or remember certain basic things its alot easier to jump in.

There are a lot of zones that are empty most of the time. But some zones are usually so packed that it's hard to find a spot. And that goes for all level ranges. So if there are too many/too few people in your zone, do a /w all <your level> to see where other people at your level are.

I've been here maybe 3 months now, and have noticed that there are lots of grouping opportunities. I have a lot going on IRL right now, so I've spent more time soloing than grouped thus far, but I've had many opportunities to group. I've also noted that a lot of the players, even guilded 60's from all sorts of guilds, have been awesome.

Oh - and if you don't see LFG tags, just ask if anyone wants to group up in /ooc. You'll most likely find a group!

[Vandil]

There's always someone new or someone who's an alt-a-holic that would be around to group with you. Just /ooc and/or hang out in the appropriate starting/leveling zones.
