Population and Experience these days.

[Aralynn]

Hey guys I've been looking for that EQ experience for old. I didnt know this was even around. I';ve been toiling over the site and reading threads and such. Im ready to do this. The two questions i have are this. Non-PVP server. What is the population like these days? ANd with me rolling a new char will the newbie zones have plenty of people or are all the people higher levels and in the raid zones and dungeons and such? I just dont want to feel like Im playing by myself.
Thanks guys and galls.
