EU2 server, multiple problems

1 - Can't progress, No matter what I do, i cannot progress to further items.
2 - can't exit faction, i have pressed the leave button, yet i cannot leave. the weird thing is that on the faction page it doesn't say i'm part of the faction yet i still have the option to leave and deposit, and i can't join any other faction. the "players" page still lists me as part of the faction.
