There is some pretty BIG news from this interview and I think it deserves another thread since the original announcement is buried deep in another thread.
The interview can be heard here.

For those that don't have access at the moment a short recap.
Basically they are FIXING EVERYTHING.
+Single server Tech: Its coming. The initial stages will be this May where they will start merging servers(massive joy/headache for my cross server guild). Eventually, EU/US will become one server at one location. Guesting system will not be available between PvP servers(but players from PvP servers can do 6mans with PvE server people).
+ PvP : WE'RE GETTING WHAT WE WANT. New Unchained PvP will automatically scale all toons to equal abilities. Joel specifically says that gear will NOT matter and that player skill will be paramount.
+Unchained versions similar to AMP unchained will be done for all the old world dungeons (like black castle, sanctum, crows nest etc.) Complete with new/enhanced loot.This is the most smartest move by Funcom since forever as it will effectively allow new player/unsubs something to do once hitting 80. Eventually, with 1000 rare tokens collected new players will be compelled to buy khitai and sub up.
+Dragon spine 2nd half is coming soon with mini games further out.
