New to server questions

[runicNomad]

Recently joined the server and am curious about a few things.
1. Since it seems this server has the highest population of all the emulated servers (and these are all non boxers or bots) I want to know if it is difficult to find rares or quest pieces etc etc? Are many areas camped?
2. Since this server is old skool mode are there a lot of regular grouping and is there room for new players to join them often?
3. Overall what is the level of maturity and respect here on the server when it comes to camps and helping etc etc?

I am really interested in this old skool mode server for sure.
thanks

1) many areas are camped and many areas are not camped. it depends on time of day, the specific camp, and how lucky you are. if theres somebody camping an item they are usually willing to tell you when they are gonna take off.

2) yes and yes

3) every group has bad apples. while you're going to find immature kids, you're going to meet a lot more mature types overall. and just a friendly reminder, /ignore works. so you can ignore people you dont want talking to you.

1. Shouldn't have much trouble doing your quests. A lot of people are in the end game and mid-tier quests and npcs are available.
2. There is a surge of new players, so you shouldn't have too much difficultly finding groups in the populated areas (EC/Oasis/Mistmoore/LoIO/DL/Guk/SolB/KC/Seb).
3. Depends on who you run into. People one-on-one are generally easy going. There is the occasional person that will try to gank your camp, but they are few and far between for the most part. Raiding is a whole other matter at this time. The server staff is revising the raiding rules which should help smooth things over, and Velious will help even more.

4. Welcome!
