What are the current round of game-breaking bugs?
Was thinking about trying the trial.
I bought the game around release but decided it wasn't worth the time at that point.
Comments
By all means.. try for yourself, but here is my thread where I document the state of the game from my trial:

Oddly enough, a similar question was asked on the official forum recently. This was one of the more comprehensive posts on what's changed with the game in the last 6 months:

thats pretty much everything I can think of off the top of my head.flash support
nicer graphics - weather system, rain etc
direct x 10
fishing
general bug fixes
Pet and node line improvements
AI improvements (doe its still abit bugged)
balanced Archery (no more shooting though armour) and balanced magic and made melee have say 4 popular weapons instead of just one.
server is still unpredictable but its improved from release (not as bad as release)
FPS increase, they improved the stability of the game, bug wise and crashing but there's the occasional crash for some but its more their settings then the actual game.
Speed tree
screen dragging exploit
Directional blocking
pve (riser invasion, spider invading bakti etc)
GM response, there are more gms, so response times have been improved
New login screen
more lore details added for lore books and races
new interface (GUI)
mini-games
New smoother looking animations
Camp fires

One of the most recent problems has still been server stability. Over that last week and a half, it had gotten pretty bad, though with the last couple of fixes it has gotten much better (certainly in the playable range, though they need to keep working on it until it is 100%).
Hell hath no fury like an MMORPG player scorned.
I agree with Slap do the free trial. Most of the things in Prinereapers thing on MOFO are placeholders, very buggy, or not working half the time. I can easily as can you go to the MOFO and see that for yourself.
I don't know if I will actually do the free trial... by the sounds of it, the game is still a complete buggy/unstable mess, and the trial is downloading slow as molasses, in which time I can't really play any other online game.
It's been more than a year and the game still hasn't improved to an acceptable level, I think it's about time I write off the game for good, such a shame, because I really don't want to, but I just don't ever seeing this game becoming an acceptable quality product without more experienced developers.
haha, you won't even try the free trial before coming to that conclusion? sounds like you knew your conclusion before you made the post...
haha, I might try the game if it could be downloaded at a reasonable pace... I guess I could download it while I'm at work or something... although there were some viruses found in some MO files when I had it installed before...
Sounds like you had some bad files then =P Never had troublers with viruses etc!
Try it out! What do you have to loose? Regrding to a poll, 60%+ of the trials will/would/have bought the game, so there are plenty of people enjoy the game very much (like I do). I think it's really great, but you have to try for your self!
I hope to see you in game soon, I do not think you will regret it! And dont listen to the trolls here, doing everything to make the game look bad (no names, we all know who they are =P)!
Try it out and forget the WoW-thinking and you would enjoy your time! ;o)
Tried it yet?
I do not know, I starting playing upon release and hoped while I paid until 2 months ago when staff were engaging in major battles. That still going down? I want to resub and go again but most of my clan bailed with the respawn bug that cost us weeks of work. I do not mind the server crashes but the lag was bad, is it still?
My experience on this from one week ago including video:

Lots and lots has changed since launch!

Thats my thread on what I think of the game now, and prior to Free Trial. If you are into PvP, there is a cool vid in that thread showing how it is now (even though that is from one or two builds ago)! Try it for your self and see!
Agreed, they added 83 types of fishes!
