We're making an online mmorpg and use mysql for the login system and to store everything. I actually implanted this without problems. The only thing is, if your mysql database server is slow, you have a problem. The whole server will "hang" until the mysql server responds. With our login system we had a slow mysql server at first and there was a 1 second lag when somebody joined. This might need fixing... (i'm working on that, but without any luck yet)

Could you elaborate which server has problems ? Is it the db server, or the torque game server ? Would be glad to hear about your experiance as I'm trying to setup a similar scenario.
