Well, there definitely are bugs -- like the "Sleep PK" mechanism that was the topic of episodes 5 & 6. Well, at least, I think it would be considered a bug if this were any other game...
Nitpicky here, but the sleep pk thing is actually known as an exploit.

Basically, the game worked as intended. But, the designers didn't think of every possible situation, and clever players find ways of exploiting in ways that are NOT meant. Happens alot in mmo's.

Bugs are when the game does not work as intended. Say, a quest mob fails to spawn properly when its supposed to. Or 8 bosses spawn instead of 1 wiping out a raid. Or a door not opening when its supposed to. Etc, etc.
