It sounds like you are playing EQEmu using the SoF client. If that is the case, then there are quite a few of the old zones like Nektulos that got updated, and the PEQ database was made for the old version. That is why you zoned into a zone in the middle of nowhere and even after porting around, everything was out of place and zone lines didn't work. Because, essentially, the server thought you were supposed to be in the old version of the zone before it was updated. I think there are a few ways around issues like that one by renaming certain files or whatever, but it isn't really a good example of how polished the Emulator is.
The emulator is actually fairly complete up through the PoP expansion and even some beyond. But yeah, you might want to try out playing on other servers to see how you like them before making any final judgements on how far along the emulator is. In many cases, it is very close to Live, and is actually very playable.
