PEQ has a super friendly, but not team-oriented playerbase. The /ooc channel is world-wide and has some excellent conversation and advice, but it has been my experience while leveling a rotating party of characters to 55-60 that true grouping is almost nonexistant. Everyone boxes, and most box a full party, or at least the pieces that cover all the bases. I myself regularly box 4 chars. If you ask you might find someone that will accept you into their box-squad (I likely would) but it's not like the situation on live where a 6 man party is really 6 different people. I often play with my brother and a RL friend, each of us 2-boxing and have joked about each of us 6 boxing and raiding as an 18man mob.
It is however the most live-like experience in EQEmu. Right now it parallels live up to LDoN, with a few GoD zones open, more will follow in the future.
I usually play on PEQ, but if youre coming in hopes of PuGs, save yourself the dissapointment, its really uncommon.
