It seems as though the original poster should enjoy P1999 just fine. For me, at least, my enjoyment of Project1999 isn't dependent on nostalgia at all--I like the game on its own merits. At this point I've spent more time playing P1999 than "original" Everquest (note my join date). If you're worried about grouping, you're correct to want to pick a class with some solo capability so you can handle things on your own if you need to. There's no reason not to give it a go--it doesn't cost you anything and if you decide not to stick it out you're not out anything except a bit of your time.
Project 1999, in spite of having a strong population by emulator standards, has a relatively low population compared to historic EQ servers. Due to P1999's age the population also feels somewhat top-heavy. Pick-up leveling groups exist, even during off-hours, but they mostly tend to stick to a typical path of leveling zones. Venturing off that path will usually require you to either bring your own group or go solo.
