Grouping at low levels?

[Cyrisnyte]

Hello all,

I played the original Everquest from day 1 of launch when it came out. I've played a cleric, paladin, warrior, shaman, enchanter and monk all to level 50.

I've had the itch lately to come back and play again but so far have been very disappointed with regular EQ as no one groups at low levels anymore. All the guilds are filled with level 85 and above players and it's not even fun to try and play with just me and a mercenary.

My question is, what's it like here? Do you go hours with no one to hunt with? I haven't even rolled a character yet (most likely a cleric as they were always my favorite). Just don't want to install everything just to be let down.

Thanks in advance!
