I was just browsing though MMOsite.com and I just saw that perfect world is having a closed beta for the US version. This is pretty cool because I played the Malaysia version and it was cool but it had such broken English and the lag was horrible. This version is gonna be completely translated to English and the servers will be hosted here. Check it out if your interested. Registration hasn't started yet though. All the info I could find is listed below.

Hey a quick update on the game. Registration is now open and closed beta officially starts August 19th. Also check out this video I found on youtube were a user creates Heiachi from Tekken using the character customization tool in game. I thought it was pretty spot on.
