Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hey there just a few questions i have before I start playing here:
1) what is active horde/ally ratio on this server?
2) can you buy/recieve gold to help you out at the start (with spells and mount)
3)any addons to help you with leveling process.
I have never played vanilla, but am aware that it is more difficult that wod.
thanks

1. I'd say there's a solid 50 / 50 ratio.
2. No, this server is 100 % blizz-like, meaning there will be no shortcuts i.e. buying gold/skills/mounts/equipment/levels for real money.
3. Here is a list of AddOns

It is all about the grind my friend.
