Tales of Eä would be good for you to start out, as there are a few wiki users there(notably myself in the guise of the Head Admin) and I am usually willing to let myself be bugged about crafting recipes and the like. However, due to technical difficulties, Tales of Eä will possibly be back up by this week's end. Most everyone on Tales of Eä is friendly.

Awakening has a good community and a healthy challenge for more experienced players, many of whom you will know from here. There are also many factions to choose from, the largest being Dôl Amroth. Many of the players would leave you be for a little while, but once you start to make your mark on the world some will come after you.

Steel Armies, like Awakening, would be good for later challenges. Though if you joined now, you'd find that a server-wide war just erupted(I'm calling it the "War for the Sake of Endorë") between the Free Peoples and a custom faction. There would be very little help, because of the war, and many evil-aligned players are taking this chance as an opportunity to raise their kill score. If you were to start out on Steel Armies, head to Lindon and the Sea, currently the safest place you could probably go. Can you make a custom faction on Awakening I.E. could I have Atmora (my custom faction for RPs) as a group other players can join? If so, then that's definitely the one I'll start with (maybe involve myself with that war on Steel Armies later). Many factions to pick, several people I know from the wiki, etc. Anyhow, when/if I get the mod soon, I'll join it under the name 'Aramir'.
