Found one bug last night - clicked through quest completion wrongly (closed the window instead of clicking "complete"), and didn't get the six-slot bag that was the quest reward (and maybe not the gold/xp/reputation, either?). Happily, I'm an outfitter, so I can make my own six-slot bags... But that's the only glitch I've really hit.
Healingsoul's getting frustrated with the hardware demands - her three-year-old system is running very choppy, to the point that she's not certain she really wants to play the game. And when she turns down the graphics level to the point that it might not be choppy, it's so ugly that she doesn't want to look at it. Same system runs WoW with pretty high graphics settings at 20-30fps...
Gameplay seems very similar to WoW - go here, pick up quest, go there, kill shit dead, go back, turn in quest. The rift concept seems pretty unique and - at least initially - interesting, although you really have to be careful that you don't end up in a rift that's five or more levels above you -- pretty much guaranteed death.
Speaking of death, there's an interesting mechanic when you die. There's a "spirit walk" or "graveyard" option when you die (spirit walk is on a 60 minute CD); if you choose "spirit walk", you walk around as a ghost starting at your corpse for a few seconds, then return to life, while if you choose "graveyard", you spawn at the graveyard as a ghost and have to run back to your corpse. If you can avoid multiple deaths, the spirit walk option is nice for reducing death-related downtime ("oh, ffs! really? the closest graveyard is on the other side of the zone?").
