well there are monsters from two towns in the set 5 TCG cards that aren't yet out: Cube Slime of Magatia (which we got the patch after set 5 came out) and King Centipede of Shanghai.
Now, the magazine article said CK 2 in First quarter 09. That's not necessarily january; that's a three month span. So, I'm not expecting it in January. Something small an stupid to tide us over between awesome town that just came out and awesome town we're waiting to come out. Enter Shanghai. Now, Shanghai being the craptastic place that it is, would likely come alongside some of the more minor updates we're lacking. Those might include:
1. Monster Book (In the monster book's first release, all the towns we have right now were out. The only monsters in the original book we don't have are Area Bosses set 3, which could easily be released alongside it.)
2. Area Bosses 3/4 (area boss 3 is only 3 monsters, so it'd be a good thing to add alongside a minor town like Shanghai.)
3. Leafre and Magatia Mini-dungeons. (Leafre Minidungeons would be a HUGE boost in training spot availability for high levels, no doubt it would be warmly welcomed)
4. Maker + Magatia PQ (The shop is there in magatia, albeit the portal's blocked. Magatia PQ should be soon :/)
That's mostly it for the minor things we might get soon.
so if you ask me, it's more likely to be:
mid-late January - Shanghai, Monster Book (please monster book? XD), valentine events activate partway through.
End February - CK2, who knows what else... (Magatia PQ maybe?)
Early April - Maker, Area bosses 4
Early May - Anniversary, Elin and Elin PQ? (Depends on if any other versions release it soon. Right now it's still KMS only), bunch of assorted UI crap.
that's as far as i'm comfortable predicting. Don't really see Time Temple any time soon and I wouldn't expect any more masteria (after CK2) before September at least. We have no knowledge of any further TCG sets so that makes it even harder.
