We're on the same patch as kTera. Battlegrounds do not currently exist in either version, Nexus and Training Grounds are currently disabled in NA release.

Don't worry about updates right now, just play the game. They'll enable those two missing features eventually which you should only have to worry about if you played and rushed one character to 60.

I was on newb island lvling up a warrior the other day, as a GM started talking in area chat. Someone couldnt respond to him through whispers (or so they say) causing him to talk in area to communicate. Anyways, people asked when they were planning a update, and he said there was no set stone day... BUT he figured it might come around the next sub cycle. A classic move from all mmos, so look for it around the new subs!

Funny how they try to hype up their game by promoting content that isn't in the game at launch. Makes me wonder what else they will lie about to desperately keep subs in the future. I love TERA and all, but they really should have mentioned at least during the head start that some of the content will be held back.
