Yes, providing they can find and join an active linkshell where players are engaged in content. The problem is that those linkshells probably have their own set static groups doing content together for years, and are less likely to let a new face into that clique. It can take a significant amount of trust buildup and getting to know said person before that happens.

But yes, if people do manage to (1) Find an active linkshell and (2) Get in with the clique, then they (in my opinion) will get to enjoy this game in the best possible way - whatever server you are on.
