I have been playing around for about an hour now and I have noticed that many features from the Chinese version are missing so it looks like they rolled back a few patches. Only being able to play one side sucks too and I have not seen any differences beyond a few spelling changes between the Chinese version with English patch and the North American beta version.
The game is much more stable than Warhammer though, there can be more than 100 people in game and you still won't see smoke pouring from the servers. Hopefully they open up the other side and allow leveling past 20 soon.
Oh yeah, with the NA version I and quite a few others have been having game guard issues. I had to disable windows vista User Account Control to play which I didn't in the Chinese version. Maybe that's one of the things that got patched over there and it will be fixed soon here.
Argh, I hate Elyos, too bright and sappy. It's insanely popular in Asia though which I hope carries over to the American version because I really want to keep playing Asmodians.
