Sparkle are both servers identical? I remember I tried the RU/EU server a long time ago and the NA changes (like the ability to buy high level seeds with gold as well as vocation) weren't in the RU/EU version.
Afaik they aren't identical, but very similar. It's different dev teams running them, so they make different choices in some regards.
I would suggest to turn faction chat off all together especially if you play on the west side. Try joining a guild that is new player friendly and ask questions there. I have seen people get harassed, bullied, threatened and swore at in faction for no reason at all. That is why you will not see much talking there. If you leave faction chat on, don't join in on any conversations in it unless you want to open yourself up to be attacked and it really does not matter what you say either. There are people who will twist what you say and start a fight for the luz. And it is just a handful of people doing it but you will see who it is when you play.
Pretty much this^ LULQuick guide for chat use:
Don't forget to enable the sarcasm plugin.
- local: use to insult your opponents (only applies to PvP)
- shout: like local, but longer range
- guild: this is the normal chat
- raid: ignore General's directives
- nation: mainly to search for raid and parties
- trade: why sell here when can be used nation?
- trial: max him!
- faction: just for trolling

With the recent server update yesterday we accomplished the game data merging of 2 servers (that's why maintenance took much longer time than usually). Due to it some unique aspects of NA server were applied on RU/EU and we got some from theirs here.
The amount of data we had to go through is huge so some aspects could be out of our attention. Due to it players noticed some of the differences. Majority of them were fixed with the server restart yesterday. You can find the details in the following thread.
Some still may be present. So if player notice that something works not the way it was before, please inform me and we'll have that looked into.
Why that game data merging was done? Both servers are now following the same game version and same updates, so to avoid double work, Devs made the changes that would no longer require data to be added separately to each server. So, as a result that will free up some time that they would be able to use to work on a new content.Though game data merging took place, that doesn't mean that we'll follow the same events timing. Each server will keep the events going in their own unique way.
For each server you need a separate account.
That might work then . Do you happen to know the link for the RU/EU website?
