I've got a few from when I first tried out the Closed Alpha 2, back in Jan 2012.
[SPOILER-BOX]Spawning in the Shop Area
As you can see, the shop area had quite a different look to it, but they actually kept the monument in the middle (as well as the 2/3 floors layout). At this point, the tutorial was all text-based, and was given to you when you first logged in.
You can also see Dudu (ドゥドゥ) hanging out in the Weapon Shop. Lots of other NPCs that were never seen again though. I mean, who's Jan (ジャン)? Looks like Hans' brother of some sort.

Dept of field
Yes, PSO2 actually used to have a built-in dept of field system. Think they removed it due to the load it put on the graphics cards. Also, not that the whole map was shown up to the right, not just a small bit of it. Telepipes were also green in color.

Quest Lobby
Heading up to the door up north in the Shop Area, you entered this small Quest Area. This was pretty much where everyone hung out. Class counter, and mission counter was located here.
The lobby was very small, even smaller than the "red/blue" rooms we have in the shopping area.
Also, do note Ohza's light green color to the left.

Character Creator
The character creator is pretty much the same as it is today, though the lightning and background were a little different.

Return to Start Point
Upon dying, you could only return to the start point, not the actual camp ship. "C" was also the assigned key to start chatting, not by pressing ENTER.

[/SPOILER-BOX]
Hope that'll help out a bit.
