So I just got the game and the xpac for quite cheap and bought them for story mode mostly, and nostalgia as I used to play PSO back in its DC days.

But What I'm wondering is, is it worth it to start playing online mode at this point and time? Is there still enough of a pc-ps2 playerbase to make it fun for a new completely new player to join in, or is it already dead and just slowly rotting off the remaining hardcore fan?

I'd give it a shot. It's not like going online is binding agreement. If you don't like it, you've only lost a couple days' lunch money. I was still having fun on PSOX when there were about ~75 people on and the PC/PS2 population is far larger than that.

I think it is worth if you can LVing fast during MAG to catch up other players.
because I think there are too few low lv players on normal period. a lot people can't find party and quit.
but at this time, most people get a chance to LV a new character. so a lot of low LV players you can find to party with.

EDIT: this event in jp is also a welcome newbies event too.

you could think of us as having a more "intimate" community. And now is a good time to start since you can level up pretty quickly and get some decent items in the process.

If you choose to join online now, then welsome aboard
Like everyone said already, you can level pretty nicely from the event going
on at the moment. Mag gibs out exp and mp like its candy, so now is a real good time
to join so you can get goodies as well
If you join just head to Uni 2 to find a party easier, if sure you can find one there.

I'd say give it a shot, and if you don't like it, you don't have to come back. We'd love to have some new people join us, though! :3

And with MAG going on atm, it should be pretty easy to get your character(s) leveled. I'd be glad to help you out if I'm not pre-occupied.
