You need to decide. You can get two-weeks or a month free somewhere, likely from Sony. Maybe someone around here knows how to get the free trial??..or if you wanna try out EQ2 also, just get the station pass for a month or two. It's only 5 bucks more than a single game subscription I think and will give access to both games.

Try um out for a bit and decide. (We're all pretty much EQ fanboi's here, eh, EQ is better than EQ2 )

Sorry, not sure on populations as they're not puplished. It's a constant source of discussion around here though.

People to help you out? Depends on what you're looking for. There are very few "true" newbs in the game, but lots of people still raise up toons. So, it may be difficult to find people to group with at low levels, it won't be impossible.

The game is pretty easy at the start though, and you really shouldn't need a ton of help. As far as getting questions and inquiries answered in game, there are tons of people that will be happy to answer you questions, though you'll likely get some snide "newbie" remarks thrown in.

If I had to guess I'd say at normal gaming times there are a 1000-1500 people on average per server. I may be way off the mark. The thing is, all those people are spread amongst tens, maybe hundreds of zones and across the content of 10 expansions.
