how far progressed?

Hey there folks.I played EQ for many yrs as an ogre shaman on povar server from the get go.Was wondering how far advanced this server was and plans to go.How close to original EQ are the trades and the alchemy in particular. I been getting homesick for EQ and still have my lvl 70 but when i left the game things were changing too much in the wrong direction I thought and got bored of the instance running instead of the random PoFear zonewide aggro bugs killing even GMs. And the introduction of PoP and its lame bottlenecks killed a good portion of the populace that WoW sucked up. I would like to download the client but dont want to be wasting my time if theres spammers,farmers and just all around annoying hackers to ruin the experience.
