Here is a nice article of a hands on for the present build of JGE.

The big pluses I see out of the game direction switch is that there is really no more instanced PvP and the game has a more open concept behind it. Which in my mind is what they needed to do, you need to have the epic clashes of factions going head to head. I liked what I read in this article but it didn't touch on any aspects outside of the faction based PvP really. So what type of gaming experience will a player have if they don't like PvP or if they want to be a merchant/gather?
