A few questions before I begin...

Hi, I have a few questions about p99 that I was curious about before I invest any money/time into it. I (like most of you) am an old school EQ player. I started back when it was first released and played straight until PoK came out and have been on and off since. Everquest was such an amazing game and it was what got me hooked on PC games ever since. No matter what game I play, and no matter how long I play it, I ALWAYS end up back playing EQ. Anyway, here are the questions: how is the server population in terms of low level toons? will I be able to find groups fairly easily? I only ask because I remember how much of a PITA soloing was back in the day as a melee class, but it isn't the trouble of soloing as much as the "loneliness" of empty zones lol. How close to original EQ is P99? is the HUD layout the same? I hope so. Lastly, I lost my titanium and also gold EQ sets in a flood we had a few years back and the discs were all destroyed. I still have a copy of EQ trilogy that wasn't damaged. Is the titanium edition the ONLY one that works? is there a cheap, non-torrent alternative to repurchasing the titanium edition? Any information on any of my questions would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time.
