If it's learning you're looking for, I would say that it wouldn't matter.
I learned more from the net.community in a month than I did in over a year
of play...  Instant gratification!!!

I would go to arena 18, Talcama for all the same reasons taht Morgoth
recommended Sunset.  Besides, I plan on starting up there sometime in the
fall.  On the other hand, I believe there is a net.beginners club playing
in some arena somewhere.  They'd probably be the ones to contact if you
want to play with some other (relative) newcomers.  Maybe they'll contact
you...
