Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Hi fellow WoW gamers!
I am sitting watching the Real Madrid v. Juventus game, and wondering if it is worth renewing my retail subscription. I'm not sure yet. So I had a look at a server I played on previously, Emerald Dream which now apparently is completely dead. So I browsed a bit and found Nostalrius, and I must say I'm intrigued.
I just have a few questions before I begin yet another (most likely) great adventure, how is the PVE/PVP community? What is the faction ratio like? And what classes are more needed than others? I've played Holy Paladin since TBC, so I'm thinking about rolling a DPS class. Last but not least, which faction is the most active PVE wise (I'm interested in raiding).
Looking forward to meet all of you in-game, thanks for reading!

All your questions can be answered by reading the first 5 pages or so of this forum. Bonus is you'll get more thorough info.
