Qeynos hills/blackburrow can be a bit of a wasteland -- that whole side of the continent is fairly sparsely populated, although ppl do like their blackburrow if they are gonna be anywhere over there. Near crushbone is a great starting area -- crushbone, unrest, and mistmoore are all very populated, have excellent exp mods, and are a great place to meet other new people to the server. Anywhere near ec can be good too (always high level buffs available) if that's your thing -- but personally I'd rather be in crushbone!
Population is good. People come for nostalgia not b/c its the newest thing. This isn't live where the servers constantly age out and become uninteresting, only to be replaced with new ones, etc. It's the only game in town for high quality classic EQ, and there's always more new people who find there way here.
The negative is SOME zones don't get used. Like you will rarely see people level in places like Cazic. But there's well populated zones at all level ranges and once you make some friends you can always hit up the empty zones together.
Enjoy!
