I've been playing on Phinny and yes, it's packed, yes it's fairly slow XP, yes it's been fun, and it IS the closest experience to classic in EQ outside of P1999. It's VERY easy to find groups and I don't see many boxers. My play time is sporadic and sometimes limited so I tend to make solo-capable classes. A solo druid can kill yellow mobs for 5-7% XP at low levels, and crushbone belts give you about the same XP for turn-ins so you can level decently. The /pick command allows you to be in, say a zone like Crushbone with only 4-10 players, which means everyone has plenty of spawns.
I wouldn't say this server will be popular forever but I'd give it a lot longer than one month. It may start cooling down a little before Kunark opens up in 90 days but that should give it another boost.
DBG did good with this server, and I say that as someone who generally wouldn't even log on to the ordinary servers if I couldn't be boxing my whole group of 6. It's a different kind of game, and in some ways much more relaxing when you play just one toon and don't have to coordinate all your boxes.
