I think GM interaction and help with issues is a great thing! Sadly, a lot of GM's in games seem think they are nothing short of a god of sorts. Anyway, glad you got your Baphomet back ^.^
I think at the moment the GMs are probably being very generous and attentive to make sure early experiences with the game are positive to retain subscriptions - considering that most lag occurs at the customers end, not the game server's. It seems very lenient to replace what I assume is quite an expensive mech because of lag which is likely unconnected with their servers.
Or are the servers generally accepted to be quite laggy at the moment, by community and devs?
The alpha (safe starter areas) islands can be a bit laggy at peak times, having fairly regular lag spikes and once there was a spell of disconnect waves which was very odd. The beta islands are pretty much lag free unless theres a big fight going on which can sometimes bring lag spikes as well but not unless theres like 50+ in the fight for a considerable amount of time.
Lag happens, yes, but its not something you should expect all the time.
While there maybe a few issues here and there, lag and even disconnect as happened yesterday, GMs work in PO exceptionally well. I don't remember any MMO that I played last 5 years or so that had a live GMs and DEVs actually in General Chat. I lost my sequer during the disconnect and they gave it back to me almost immediately. I did complain in general chat a bit though but they noticed me and returned the lost bot. I've heard quite a few other people got their bots back too. GMs are superb in PO.

Have to agree the GM/Dev team are doing a great job, excellent customer service and interaction.
Was great chatting with the Devs in general chat the other day, one was telling us the story of how they had to use their own laptops and pcs as the company had used their last penny to get the game released.
One of them brought in the gaming system of their son after he had failed some exams and consficated it as punishment, brought it into the office so they could use it for coding etc - lol

-AUTUMN ROSE DOWNFALL-
All the interactions i have had with GM's in this game (since beta) have been nothing but positive, really helpful.

I love the fact that the GM's and DEV's sit in chat and watch our idle prattle, often resonding and commenting on stuff that piques their interest.
Yup
