Hey,
Let me recommend the Protectorate. We have our own forum and have some of the best and most experienced players in the game (I'm speaking as a relatively new player who has benefited greatly from their experience). We are a friendly group and are always looking to help each other out. Send me a message at Nathambia on KB or to Crafty (Federation Chairman) at the East End if you're interested.
