Necros and Anti-Paladins aren't helpful for ranking in the 30-40 range?

Hah. You have obviously never played one, or ranked with a competent one. I can think of a handful of areas, decently safe, to go to with both of those classes in that range and be quite productive.

Just as a sidenote... A narrowminded view of Evil is to simply crave power. If you get a more complicated Evil player there are a bunch of other things attached to their character, but that one undertone is always, or should always, be there.

It could be argued that an Evil hero, though quite possibly getting 'ganged' by Goodies, would be hard-pressed (to do anything quick in this train wreck *ignore this*) to help his younger Evil brethren, because that may infringe on his 'power.' Obviously this is a narrowminded view, but it is a possible one.

And now, the following Generalizations:

Goodies want to share power and status, helping their young ones achieve this.
Evils are selfish bastards and may only have shaky alliances with other evils because they suit their needs, for the time.
