If I started new, is the population enough to really support someone starting from scratch? Will I likely have trouble finding a group?
Hmm, maybe. There has been stuff added in expansions to support low level characters. Clearly the bulk of the population is higher level but a couple things to think on:
- You can now easily level up in into the forties, solo, in little time.
- The two Progression servers were opened. This has served to make LOTS of grouping opportunities in the old world and lower-level zones. These servers have been open awhile now, however, so the populations even there, I'm sure, have climbed up in level. They just recently opened, um, Luclin maybe.
- The latest expansion, The Serpents Spine, came with a new race and new zones...for all levels of play. You can probably still find lower-level groups in these new zones pretty readily.
It won't be easy finding groups at lower levels. You won't likely find a 'group' of people that are all working main toons from scratch to play with night after night without doing some advertising. There are enough people playing though that any given day you should be able to get a pick up group together once you're into your twenties.
Good luck.
