On the items point, it's worth noting that you can now add equipment to your character via player commands (which includes all normal items and some hidden items), with the exception of Legendaries which are unavailable except through lore events. That means it's pretty easy to set up a new character with an appearance searching addon like MogIt (which I highly recommend) or just by having WoWhead open in another window.
If you think you'll want to add and puppet NPCs or build areas for a storyline, consider applying to be a Storyteller. I'd say wait a few weeks and get a feel for the RP climate of the server before you do, just so you get the chance to settle in first. It's something to think about though if you liked that part of your old server.
