Probably have more luck in EC.

Part of why I love Everquest is that it is "self-policing". If you go the THE most popular zones, then your xp will often suffer because of lack of mobs to pull, extended group finding times, extended camp finding times, trains, and all sorts of things that slow down/stop xp. If you go to a NOT popular zone, you may extend your group finding times, but camp finding times/trains etc are a non-issue. Its all about balance. I personally enjoy finding a group, kicking back for 3 hours, and just grinding out xp while chatting it up, and reliving the olden days. I like it to be steady, and "boring". The #1 skill in Everquest that isn't tracked is group building. Building social contacts to people you enjoy hunting with, group composition, camp/zone selection based upon above criteria, and initiative to create groups. As you play and encounter more people you should be getting better at this. Take charge of your group destiny, go explore interesting things that no one else does, to hell if its not "efficient', its probably WAY more efficient than most people realize. We have all played this game for far too long, and we fall into our same old habits. Everquest rewards and forces you to innovate, to adapt, and change your tactics based upon conditions presented by other players. Go on an adventure sometime, you might find its more efficient!

I've even seen anon charmers in there in off hours killing the entire zone using D'vinn (literally everything) and then have their alt standing in gfay selling mass quantities of belts right after. And it's a horrible place to swarm kite for fail bards which are usually doing it to farm too. CB has great xp groups, but on the downside it also draws certain farmers that ruin it for them.

Our little trio that just started has observed these disruptions as well. We'll be staying until we get a shiny brass shield for our warrior and cleric, then we will be moving to East Commonlands. My bard is already there, and the quality level of players and groups is noticeable.

The one non-classic change I would recommend for this server is on they had on Firiona Vie (RP) server back in the day: "Trivial Loot Code." Greenies don't drop nice gear. Farming by higher level characters was thereby thwarted.

OT - Swish, that sig, :D

Is it non-classic if it was on a proper EQ server? ;)

Not so packed in the off hours, but that's great for getting a group. With the stupid level gaps in the mobs, groups are really helpful in there.
