/1 is all the sharded servers. You won’t be able to tell who you can or can’t interact with until you know the servers that are linked with you. (In game they have a * by their name to show they’re from a different server group).
/2 is your server and (if you have any) the linked servers that you can interact with, join guilds, trade, etc.
Yeh I can see it be a bit confusing for anyone unfamiliar with the connected realms concept and afaik there is no mention of it anywhere ingame.
The mention of conjured must be there tho, otherwise theyd be lying as conjured items exist and can be traded cross-realms
In case you dont know conjured items are items created by abilities and disappear a bit after logout, like for example warlock healthstones
Is sharded servers the reason I see Russian speak in chat ? I never see Portuguese, Spanish, French or Italian (though I do see this sometimes when ppl link abilities from spellbook).
