Low level zone populations

[Darkaten]

Hey all, just one simple quick question. I've been getting the urge to jump in and check this out, I see that the server is definitely the most popular and has a pretty good population whenever I check EQEMU stats. I'm just wondering what the leveling experience will be like for a noob since the server has been around for a while is there still a good population at low levels or is the vast majority all up at the top and the lower level zones have few players? And are there any particular zones that have a more reliable population at low levels that might be more recommendable to start in?

Thanks
