EQ2x how is it/who's playing

I'm a long time EQ1/EQ2 fan but haven't played EQ2 in quite some time. I'm curious how the free server is holding up since it's release. Is there end game raiding on this server? Do you have the sub to basically do end game raids?  How's the lower level population/community? - I looked to try and find server population numbers but failed.  I'm very interested in playing just wondering who else here is

    Population on EQ2X is good; there were at least 2-3 instances of the starter zones every time I checked. There are NO content restrictions in EQ2X's FTP model, so you can try raiding if that floats your boat. But at lower than subscription play levels, there are restrictions in pack slots, bank slots and the use of the Broker. Also you can't use legendary armor and weapons, so you are left with vendor-bought, drops (usually "Treasured"), and crafter-made (regular and Mastercrafted). Bronze and Silver players can use most Mastercrafted gear, but a few tagged Mastercrafted Legendary you can't. I understand that raiding in less than legendary gear can be an exercise in frustration.

    Live has more players doing endgame raiding but EQ2X does have guilds doing raiding

    players raiding on EQ2X are wearing raid gear (fabled) -- and paying monthly

    Not quite true; Destiny of Velious content is not included in the free content.  To get at it, you don't have to subscribe, but you do have to buy it in the cash shop.

    Word is that DoV content will be rolled into the free package when Age of Discovery is released, just like what happened with the last expansion.

    from whom I talked to there are a few raiding guilds in eq2x, the bonus is that there are actually people playing at low levels - I had a 60 sin back in the day and didn't even see anyone while leveling.

    As near as makes no difference. You have to have the expansion to access its content, nothing new there. Giving away the older expansions free, that's new.
