With default fast travel points, you'll always spawn on the highest level when fast travelling, not inside buildings or caves. When your base is ready, set a custom fast travel point in it. You can prevent this from happening by using gates instead of doors in your walls they will also make a fortress-themed build look more realistic. Don't forget to place doors and always keep them closed to avoid intruders (although, NPCs can open wooden doors and enemies can slip in with them).

Don't forget to add defensive features, such as high walls (three blocks high at least), towers, and avoid windows without glass in them. Place the metal block(s) in the center of the area you want your base to be established, and finally put the banner upon it. For bigger bases or more complicated protection, you'll probably need more than one block. You can also use silver or bronze blocks when you want a smaller base. Put a banner on it, mine some gold ore, turn it into ingots, turn the ingots into a gold block. Then, find a randomly generated camp or structure of the faction, and use its crafting table to create a new one. To do so, you must choose a faction to help and gain alignment with it. If you want to establish a base, the best way is choose a remote place, with difficult access, and to use banner protection to avoid looters, griefers and fort besiegers. On some servers there are rules that you've got to leave it on, check those first. By doing this, other players won't see you on their map, making it more difficult for them to hunt you down. In order to avoid players that might try to kill/rob you, turn OFF your map location: Press 'L' (or whatever key you've set to bring up the lotr-menu), then click the arrows at the top until the options-menu shows up. Mini-quests are a good way to get alignment for new players especially, as they reward both cash and alignment, both of which will prove very helpful in the long term. Conversely, players aligned with Mordor might want to get some Dol Guldur and Gundabad alignment. For example, if you play as a Gondorian, it's a good idea to consider trying to obtain a decent amount of Rohirric alignment.

Then, consider gaining more alignment with factions that your faction is friendly with, just in case you get caught outside your normal region of Middle-Earth, and need to hire troops or trade while underway. Which faction(s) you choose to side with is up to you, as each faction has its pros and cons, but focus on one at a time until you've got a decent amount of alignment (say 400 or so).

If you want a evil faction early on, try to make for the evils of Gundabad, which has fairly cheap and strong orcs to help. Make getting alignment with that faction a priority, as it'll allow you to craft that faction's specific equipment, which is generally stronger than the generic bronze and iron equipment, trade with certain NPC's, and will in time allow you to hire units, which will help protect you both from enemy players, bandits and invasions. In general it's a good idea to choose a faction you want to ally with rather early on. Also, try to do some fishing and you will get plenty of food to last you. Set a custom fast travel point at your farm. Building a scarecrow using skulls or Jack' o Lanterns to protect against pesky birds that steal your crops. It is recommended to banner protect your farm and fence it off to protect it from rabbits and griefers. With your iron you can make a bucket and then you can begin making a farm. Make a hoe, grab some seeds or veggies, and then craft some bonemeal out of your nitre. Mine some nitre, cobwebs (with a sword), iron and other stuff you think you will need. One way to circumvent this is to walk and preserve your hunger until you are capable of sustaining yourself. Many players complain of a lack of food in the Shire on larger servers. On the Island of Meneltarma only seagulls spawn. Most biomes have animals to hunt, but evil and mountainous areas are generally lacking in wildlife (Dol Guldor, Angmar, Mordor, Utumno, Uruk Highlands, Perdorogwaith, Isengard). Fishing (with a Dunlending trident or fishing rods) is also a good way to obtain food. Sometimes, you will also find fruit on trees or berries to eat. The other way to gather food is to loot Hobbit holes.

Not only that but there are plenty of structures with lots of it. As you start in the Shire, which is crowded with pigs, chickens, cows and rabbits, you should take your time to hunt a lot of them (in doing so, you will gather a large amount of leather and feathers, which are very useful for crafting and trading). Food is easily obtained if you're a smart player.
