My thoughts:
New PvP Mode - Going off of the image alone, it looks as though one player will be controlling the boss monster, and the other player controls his own character to face said boss. Where am I getting this from? Look at the Blue/Red(?) icons, they both have a "player" behind a monitor in them.
Free Class System - I'm gonna hate having this happen for real, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that they're gonna allow (Non-DB/CS) Adventurers to advance to any 3rd/4th/5th Job Adventurer class within your type (i.e. Warrior/Mage/Archer/Thief/Pirate) regardless of your current class. In other words, you could advance to Spearman to pick up Hyper Body, then to Crusader to pick up Combo Attack, then hop over to Paladin if you really want to for some reason. Of course, they're probably gonna change nearly all of the skills, so this is just an example.
An alternative I would very much prefer is adding skill trees for each class instead. Each skill tree represents a different role for the class, with too little SP to max all the skills so players will have to choose between them. E.g. Paladins would have to decide whether to focus more on tanking, or sacrifice some defensive capabilities for greater attack power.
Either way, it allows for a greater degree of character customisation. Especially that first one.
World Alliance - I doubt Nexon's crazy enough to merge all the worlds together; it'll simply fry their servers. My guess is that it's just a "Change Character" option that allows you to switch over to any character you have on that account regardless of the world they're on, without having to logout.
