I am not sure Nexon even knows what they're going to give us this year, other than the usual holiday events.
Masteria expansions are new content that needs developing. That takes time. I don't see another one (after CWK II in Feb) coming until very late this year.
The other stuff "just" needs translating and integrating. It's much easier work. We could, technically, have everything any other version has, by July. So it's just a matter of what they decide to let us have when. I expect some of the "smaller" things - Monster Book, Maker, mini-dungeons, various events, maybe CPQ2 - will be added to flesh out patches that would otherwise be just holiday events. Bigger changes, like new areas, will be a patch on their own.
We can also expect a new server this year (maybe even two?), with an attendant buggy patch that makes its rankings skewed right off the bat. Possibly Elin, since new servers experience crowding of low-level training maps, until the more addic- er, dedicated players pull ahead of the crowd.
What I really wish to see but am not holding my breath for: bug fixes, better anti-hacking measures, new party exp formula, more GM presence...
