Comments
Not up as of 7:48 Central time.
Lag: Not REAL bad on decent connect, not the greatest though.
Bugs: Don't really know, haven't been on long enough to evaluate bugs, but its not lookin good so far.
Errors: So far it seems plagued with errors, starting with, ummm... everything.
Don't know if it's up, am at work and won't know for about another 8 hours
Lag - If you have ever played a beta when it first came out, then you know what to expect. Don't log in thinking this game has been in development 5 years - you will be very disappointed. Expect in-game frame rates of 3-8 fps away from crowded areas, 3 fps or less in crowded areas.
Bugs - Lots. The first 2 hours, I had a crash due to dnlg.exe about every 5 minutes. Updating my nVidia video drivers to the latest, disabling Windowblinds, and killing all non-critical tasks cured that. But still get a crash in dnlg.exe on any log out. If you crash early, you will loose your toolbar icons for calling dragon and using your only special attack, without which you are dead meat to everything. I deleted and recreated my toon about 6 times in the first 30 minutes. If you do crash, when you log back in, you may get the dreaded "maximum connections" error and have to keep trying to get in for as much as 30 minutes (for me).
Errors - TONS! Not everything is in English, and most of what is has terrible spelling and gramatical errors.

No idea if it is up and running atm as I can't get in, so probably no.
Got to play it a little the first day and a littly this morning. Had no problem with lag. Fps was from 15-25 depending on how many players where around.
To many bugs/errors to post them all. Here are some that bothered me the most:
Seems mob's are loaded on a diffrent servers so the first day I played there where mobs and this morning there where none. Not realy a bug more a technical problem.
SoG.exe crashes on a regular basis tried any combination of settings and also the commands / enginesetquality high(medium, low )
The dragon just vanishes sometimes right after I summon it. Very anoying having to wait 15 to be able to summon it again.
Some spells/abilites crash the game. Sent in bug reports on these still no answer.
The spells/abilites does not always work often you get the message you are to far away even if you are standing right on top of the mob you are targeting.
Was lv 13 when I logged of the first time and was lv 10 when I managed to get in this morning.
Have still not found 1 npc trader and only 1 quest giver( not realy a quest giver, just a dude you can talk to in the noob camp)
Often get unable to use this charecter after crashing and logging in. Solved with quiting and trying again.
Worst Beta I have ever been in.
But I luv the weather/enviromental effects. Dragon flight works very well. No lag at all at max altitude. Btw when it rains you can fly over the clouds and see the sun and a clear sky. Very nice.
Just to many buggs and technical problems atm
Do not waste your time on this heaping pile of dog poo....
I'd second what Isil'Zha said. The regular game crashes are what bother me the most since it prevents me from doing anything else.
Another problem I have is that the UI resets itself almost every time I log in and I hate the way they have it set up.
I've also had my dragon just disappear on me a couple times for no apparent reason when flying (haven't had it happen just after summoning). That just started happening to me yesterday.
Not really a bug, but there aren't enough low-level mobs to go around in some areas depending on where you spawn and how many people are in the area.
I know for a fact that some of those bugs (like crashing when casting a spell) have been in beta for months and haven't been fixed. I'm not in beta but have spoken to a tester before launch.
Personally the bug I p's me off most is the client crashing every 30 seconds to 5 mins no matter what setting I use. Unfortunatly I ain't sure they can fix that.
