I ve played in lots of l2 servers, nowadays is a game that is dominated by russ (there are also chinese, but in their svs). They know basic engs words to trade, and they also can recognize basic words when they are smashed in the ground, like "a comerla pendejo" o "a chuparla mamahuevo". All non-russ will have to form a big band and try to fight for some elppies :D
I only would propose one thing to the management: after the pre-alpha, start doing more marketing between UA/EU/CN territories to attract people from there... you know, more diversity... and also lots of $ and € to help the project :D
