Yeah solo to 99 has been possible for a few years now. Various large boosts and bonuses to exp overall, but Trust magic is probably the biggest thing; lets you summon various NPCs from across the game to serve as party members.

I'm not sure about how good endgame is now, though. I've more or less stopped being too interested in grinding all that stuff out. I'll dabble here and there if the opportunity arises, but current stuff (Omen and Ambuscade) feels kinda lame.

My server (Siren) doesn't feel too active, but I've heard that Asura is the liveliest server by far. While it's definitely a shadow of its former self, I still see plenty of people, both solo and party, running around doing things. They're just mostly in the handful of relevant endgame zones (Mhaura/Legion, the three Escha zones, etc.).

If you're interested, you can take a look at: https://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/Returning_to_Vana%27diel It pretty much covers most of the questions for potential returnees.
