I played Nostralrius. In fact, I was grouped and/or guilded with some p99 people during that time. It was a good time.
Beneath this line will be a lot of Wow stuff. Avoid.
I started day 1 outside the Darnassus tree and eventually left with Stark around level 5. These were tough times. We were fighting over spawn points we didn't know next to hundreds of other people. After I got out, things were better. Most people didn't get out.. for a while. Stayed up till the next day, got to mid teens. By this point, I was grouping with Alunova in Westfall. Shortly after, I was doing Deadmines with Yulath as my tank. I hadn't healed anyone since Vanguard, and it was pretty exciting in garbage gear. After that, I did the normal routine of zone/quest hopping till I got to 60. At that point, I joined a few p99 heavy guilds.. uh, Charles Bronson, Second Sons, and Massivus Backhandith. Started doing Onyxia and Molten Core under a leader by the name of Healadin. He had no idea that I did p99 or anything about Everquest. Actually, 99% of my experience was like that, despite the fact I named myself Nilbog. Also, despite the odds, I was the feral druid tank for my guild. Did Onyxia and MC that way. I retired soon after, because the pvp point ranking system was broken. I told my guild this, but I was ignored. In classic, I was a guildleader on Burning Legion pvp server. I played beta, and I had a guild which focused on pvp. For membership, you had to duel me personally. I thought that was a good thing to do at the time, not knowing where the game would end up. When I retired from live, I had all my Alliance city factions maxed, and had ~49.5k hks (2007).

What I was hoping for was pure vanilla experience. Nostalrius mostly delivered aside from client issues (which I completely understand). An example of this would be uh.. talent trees. Druids should not have hurricane as a spell, but the bottom talent of balance, classically(vanillaly). As far as content release, they should have released warsong gulch and alterac valley before arathi basin. You shouldn't have access to battlemasters in cities for a long time. One of my favorite 'emergent gameplay' WoW experiences was southshore vs tarren mill, with people having to queue for Alterac Valley in Hillsbrad.
I can type 10000 more words by request.
R.I.P. Nostalrius. Good server.
