-STEP 3 :Fragment of a dream(update)(Within 2011)
-STEP 4: Praia (implementation)(Within 2011)
-STEP 5: Give Switch Ark(2012)
Confrontation -> Large scale PVE -> Large scale PVP -> Politics improvements.
From there, it goes on talking about the future updates they have planned for TERA throughout the rest of 2011 and into 2012. They mention advancements in large scale cross server confrontations, large scale dungeon and open world boss battles, and much, much more.
Praia and Ark talk in that article seems to revolve much around aerial cities, and aerial fortresses.
Mind you, TERA also patches the game every single Wednesday, here in the states.
This is not the 100% accurate translation of the patch notes, as I left out all the words and sentences that made absolutely no sense. A better translation should be out sooner than later, hopefully, but this is the best I could do. 
There are three kinds of people in this world. The one's who can count, and the ones who can't.
Comments
what does this mean for the north american release?
I am seriously getting impatient. I dont understand what is taking soooo long.
To the caterpillar it is the end of the world, to the master, it is a butterfly.
Hopefully it means we will get Destruction of the Beasts patch when the game launches in the west. Will just have to wait and see I guess.
~take there time and get it right is my thought on timeline~
Velika: City of Wheels: Among the mortal races, the humans were the only one that never built cities or great empires; a curse laid upon them by their creator, Gidd, forced them to wander as nomads for twenty centuries...
I think the game just died for me.
Here is the full translated version from terafans.

Looks like a ton of pvp content will be added and the political system looks to be based on the Roman Empire or perhaps modeled after the Roman Republic because they do mention that a Consul will be elected sometime at the end of the year.

Raising the level cap in a "Content Update" rather than an "Expansion" is pure win!
I hope that doesnt interfree with the NA/EU release if they took any longer no one gonna care when GW 2 and SWTOR come around.
agreed
nobody is gonna play Tera when GW2 is F2P especially since they both cater to the same fantasy crowd. SWTOR will also be a huge competitor for subscriptioners.
OMG if the game now has no jiggling boobs when i jump i WONT SUB
Yeah, that caught my eye as well. Cross server PvP is complete trash, destroys the community on the servers. Let's hope that TERA will have plenty of incentives to keep open world PvP boomin'. But yeah, pretty gay.
Learn to read imo. It's server vs server not mixed ones like WoW bgs, which if done correctly enhances the community rather than ruining it.
It's not ready. Tera needs to launch with lvl60 content or atleast have lvl60 content ready to be patched in when westerners start hitting lvl50.
