Last time I checked it (last week) it was moderately active. As for a mage, based on my own experience you'd fair well with an arcane staff and curse. Heck I didn't even need an arcane staff to handle arc hook rogues. But I was lvl 17. Imho you'd enjoy 41 or 47/48 more if mage is what you want. I hope you get a better answer than this one.
