Thinking of playing again, questions

Spectra260

I was wondering has the monthly fee went down, what is it at now?  Whats the avg population for the most played server?  Is C2P still being lame giving people a hard time to play?

I played sinse beta up to right before NC2 release, I tryed the trial on my friends acct that got nc2 that they gave everyone 2 weeks or something for xmas a few months back but it just did not seem the same anymore.  Theres not always someone on waiting for a job like implant,constructing,researching, etc... it seemed you had to find someone to log an alt if you wanted that.  Everyone seems to have caped characters and more than enough money/weapons for themself so they dont care to trade or sell cause they dont need money or anything.

Besides that, I still love the game and theres just nothing else out now to play thats the same so im thinking of trying it again.
