Looks like they fixed some bugs in source code allowing them to recompile the game as native 64bit binary for Windows? Or maybe they just found a way how to do it with their windows compiler (since there have been 64bit linux version available for few years) ^^

You might get better performance from having more CPU registers available. Especialy 8 more SSE registers (for floating point number operations) could make some difference for the game since it might eliminate few reads/writes from memory. On the other hand, if the game stores a lot of pointers to small objects, it might get more cache misses and rendering it slower. Depends, and the only way to find out is to try it ^^.

The bigges benefit would be that the game will run on "pure 64bit" Windows, if MS will ever release such a version.

For example, x86-64 linux kernel can be configured not to support running legacy 32bit code (CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION), thus 64bit regnum client is almost a must for Linux and it might one day become a must for Windows as well if it will drop 32bit code support at some point.
