Depends, I went back after a year (when SOE did the 7 day free reactivate) and found that on my play time GMT+12 and my friends GMT +10 the servers were compeletly empty.  both of us lasted less tha a day

Playing on EU time here(gmt+1) on the GUK server, on evening times server loaded,

lots of fun and groups to be found.

Try the free to play server (Freeport) 1st to see if you actually like the game, after that, look for a server,

*if one dousnt have people around during your playing time another might.

 or jump to your old server,

Greetings,

There are 2 high pop sub servers left the rest are pretty dead. Or you can play on the extended server which is always packed. Still plenty for an enjoyable experiance.

EQ2 has been in decline for a good long while.. about now the only players are all in raiding guilds.. the few lower level toons you might encounter.. are most likely being levelled up for a specific purpose..  if your thinking of playing this game.. you definitely need to use the free trial before even thinking of buying.. as EQ2 has had a low population for a very long time..

There are plenty of people on the paid servers.  However, keep in mind that there are 90 levels and the game is 7 years old.  After 7 years, the vast majority of players are at those higher levels, especially for grouping.

 

EQ2 is VERY solo-friendly for leveling, so even if you're a total newbie, you can easily solo yourself to 90 in under a month (in a week if you really know what you're doing and invest time). 

 

EQ2 is also MASSIVE, with 5000+ quests and hundreds of zones.  So yeah, if you're looking to do something specific at level 46, chances are it'll be empty-ish.  But if you're doing just about anything from the new expac at level 90, there'll be plenty of people.
