Hello layupka,
I am sorry to hear that you had a comeback shock!
While it's not possible to agree upon the exact number of active players who log in on a daily basis , you should know that most of the players who are currently playing can be found in end-game areas and in the city of Prontera (some channels are more lively than others). You can check Prontera Ch1, Ch2, Ch3, Ch6 or Morroc Ch1, they are usually very crowded at peek times (5 to 8 AM Server Time!
Sadly there's no updated guide on the game , so whenever you have a doubt or a question you can do it here on forum or in public chat, players are usually helpful.
Regarding your class choice, rest assured that you picked up one of the most competitive classes in the game!
Go on levelling up and you will meet a looooooooot of players!
Have fun!
