The two should be pretty much the same, except that (at least for now, don't know if they intend to fix it), the european translation is terrible. Some stuff isn't translated (so quests display no text at all), or the translation reads like it's been done by someone who doesn't know english. Maybe a babelfish/google/whatever translation.
PW-Europe says they want to translate to other languages, too. IMHO, they should start by translating to english first :-)
It's also visibily incomplete --- a lot of the text boxes are too small, text is cut off or mixed up.
Other than that, it should be the same. I was lvl 42 on international, started to feel bored (the game doesn't change at all as you progress, at least for a Venomancer. They only have that one big island, I was still using the skill I started with, plus another one that looks pretty much the same, I've been using the same pet since lvl 17 and so on. Nothing changes, ever).
I also read a lot about their power-abusive GMs; I was especially worried since they like to ban Venomancers killing a certain boss --- but killing that boss is supposedly required for a quest, so I really had no idea what to do when the quest would show up eventually.
Europe launched, so I started there --- big mistake; I only made it to 28, then I dropped PW completely for now. Concerning GMs, the european guys seem to be just as bad, and looking back I don't even know how I could possibly think restarting on Europe would make the game more interesting... and as it turned out, with the broken translations and the unfinished layout the game felt a lot worse.
I've played very few F2P MMO"RP"Gs where I actually made a second char, I never moved to another server, and certainly not to another company... and Perfect World does not look like a game that I'd want to replay again from the beginning.
