Playerbase is split between beta and regular, because post-GFWL players would never have opted in. Let's get everyone back on the same version! I don't see a reason to stay in the beta, so here's how to check if you're still opted in:

Right click Dark Souls: Prepare to Die Edition in your Steam Games list
Click "Properties"
Click the "Betas" tab
Make sure the drop down menu is set to "NONE - Opt out of all betas"

After a few days of messing around, it is pretty safe to confirm that PVP is working (finally!!!)

If you're playing with the thought of returning back to DS1, NOW is the best time.

To make sure that you get the best of your PVP experience, download the latest version of Watchdog. This program allows you to get rid of cheaters. In addition you can see to how many nodes (sessions) you're connected.

See you in the game!

As long as we're waiting for the definite DS 1 Multiplayer Patch/Fix/Whatever

Try out the game Nosgoth.
