I am feeling blue

[Yttrium]

So I am what you might call a casual. I love EQ, played from Beta to SOV on launch so P99 is right up my alley. It has taken me about 4 years to get my shaman to level 40. Kids and work keep me busy but I play when I can. I haven't kept up with the new server, what is the buzz? Am I wasting time to keep chugging along on Blue or should I start fresh?

I realize this is more a personal decision than a crowd sourced one, mostly looking for input on how the level 40ish community is right now and where a good spot would be to find duo/trio/groups or if it is dead maybe I poke around on a new hero.
