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
