I'm just as excited for V3 like the rest of you, but please don't set your expectations too high.

How much more explorable area in V3?
On the world map there is a small cluster of tiny islands above the peninsula which will become accessible. There will be something else as well that is not seen on the map.
Will Naigad return/have more content at some point in the future?
Yes. Not in V3.
How much of the update is going to be centered around the characters already in the game?
Half and half.
How big is V3?
Probably too small for people waiting for it, but too big for the person making it.
Based on the second and third entry, my prediction is that there will be around seven new characters in V3, one of them being Amnukhel. The current characters I think will get new content are Punflen (and a bit of Tornoth judging by Punflen's script), Vuisul, Bykkas, Sulie, and Noidu. Shyni and Tornoth's story are the most developed, so I doubt there will be anything substantial there. Subni and Nkaanmykiunsuns are explicitly stated to have left Taodal, so they're the least likely to have anything written about them. The rest, I'm not sure on.
Hey MD while we know you don't like writing blogs, we would greatly appreciate it if you at least give us more detailed updates on teraurge development. Something like what is done and not done yet for V3. If your having trouble with anything regarding the games development maybe fans can help out. Because a lot of people are growing increasingly concerned about the lack of communication between you and your fans about the next update and so far your streams have been giving the appearance that you've been focusing mostly on concept art and not much else. I hope you don't take this the wrong way and consider being a little more transparent about what's been going on.
He actually does address these in the FAQ:

When is the next version coming out?
When it's done. I've tried several times to make estimates for ETAs on the previous updates but they've all been terribly wrong. Because of this I've adopted stance of not giving ETAs to anyone. If someone says they know the release date, they're wrong. This is about practicality and stress management for me, so I'd rather keep things this way.
How much is done for the next version?
I don't know. If I knew, I could predict ETAs. Tasks vary in difficulty and my available time to work on them varies as well.
Can you show a preview from the next update?
Yes and no. I will only give out previews/teasers for content unrelated to the story or the characters, which includes code/UI/other improvements.
Why don't you do content previews?
I don't like giving out spoilers of any kind.
