Same experience on my end - all fine traveling from Talus to Tatooine and there from Bestine towards Anchorhead. Upon reaching Anchorhead the lag started. Unable to get of my ride for quite a while and when I got down the lag increased. Eventually died "suddenly" from a Krayt that appeared out of nowhere. Guild chat as well as spacial chat did not respond either - took a long time for messages to get through. Still was awesome to see that huge Krayt in the far distance and so many actual people being around.
