On a "Mortal" level, there is very little Magic being used in Forgotten Realms Setting vs How much Magic is presented in the Ebberon World of DDO.
Even in DDO show this stark comparison with the FR setting designed to appear to be a low-magic, more mundane villa in Comparison to the Ebberon "backwater town of Stormreach", even Korthos, an isolated fishing village has a more "Magic Ambient" feel to it, then the Epic Level Eveningstar village.
So no, FR is not High Magic, and not even remotely close to what Ebberon or DDO are at.
