When it says that it is only open for Builder's, Gm's, and expert mentors, that means they are preparing for something. In this case, it's live.:P
The game is live, and the server is up right now.
This bug report is actually just the first few lines of your log file. It records if your client had some extreme problems while logging in, and allows the developers to fix them.
It's not required to play. You just don't get a few of the really shnazzy graphical effects. Nekhmet (Their engine/C++ programmer) said that if about probably month or two from now if the Radeon drivers are stable enough, he'd improve their codepaths to support more effects, etc.
Here's how it works:
Once the "Telling" of the story has ran it's course, the game servers restart. And yes, everything gets wiped. The next "Telling" of the game will have different storyline twists (Not even including the changes to the storyline based on player actions), and will generally be more enhanced than the previous telling.
The advantages of going on from telling to telling is you can keep your highest honorary title from any previous telling, and the big thing is that each telling will have a unique character model for male and female, so over time some people might still have their character model from earlier tellings. People who are new to the game will not have access to them.
Since there's no box cost whatsoever, if you play for less than 50-60 months, it's actually the same price. There's a whole lot of ways to look at it, like:
50-60 months of game time same fee as EQ. (Even for me, a crazy 2-year beta tester of it, that's too much play time.:P)
4~ months of game time at $13.99 free.
You save even more if you buy multiple accounts, etc. Plus, remember that you get free trials for it.

It's called testosterone.

Except developed by 2 programmers, 1 full-time artist, and a handfull of intern artists. :P
You kidding me? Pixel-shading, bump-mapping, specular maps, alpha-maps, anti-aliasing support & diffusing are 10 years old? :P
AT LEAST 30. Probably around $50-60 considering modern MMO prices.
A Tale in the desert will go live on Feb 15, 2003. There is no box cost whatsoever, and the monthly fee will be $13.95 per month.
If what I've heard is correct, can't OSX run some linux-type files? A la the ATITD Linux Client?
