Not many players, but enough to make a decent economy. Mostly a bunch of friends and a few people going from random places, so the guild balance is a little off, but new players will help balance it. Server is always online, no random crashes or downtime. GMs are usually available when online, and always helpful, though the current player base is usually more than willing to help if possible. There are a few players to avoid, but you'll be able to pick those out on your own.
