As you know, I was unable to attend Comic-Con 2010 this year, so I've been trying to find information on what the TERA party was like over there! So far, I've found one personal account of the party from user Silveredge on the official forums, in the party thread.
Silveredge seems to have had a fantastic time, as you can see here!

The Devs really know how to organize an event. They know who their community is; first official event I've ever seen hosted at a full bar. The Gamers have grown up, the Polls about the age groups did not lie. On a side note this was the first gaming company I've seen that did not go light on the catering at their event, most don't even have catering. And by the way, no joke, drinks were on the House! The walls were awash in TERA, game content was playing on all of the screens.
They had the works: piles of hawaiian barbeque kebabs steaming in enclosed food warmers with great sauce, quality sliders, and they had some other wraps that you could make, I didn't try the wraps as I'm not really a big eater.
It's not every day you find yourself having shots with the PR guys and the Community Managers. I have to say the setting for this event was very different and quite frankly made me feel at home. It was like we were drinking beers and downing shots with friends, playing our favorite MMO. And thats what I look forward to.

Then he gets into the meat of the presentation. He seems to believe that some of the character models and maybe even the UI have recently been updated. I wonder if the client at Comic Con is different from the client that was used at E3 because I had not seen a change in the UI.

They shared quite a bit of info on character creation, character customization, achievements, glyphs, and more. We also got to see the latest UI for the game. Hopefully they will post it up for you guys or share it with a site like terablah. I was concerned that the UI would feel detached from the game but it feels natural. It was reassuring when I saw that you could do what you wanted with the UI.
The most recently updated player models were a fair bit richer in detail than the models that are shown on the fan sites. The Human Males in particular look a lot better then I thought they did in the past. Which is a good thing for me, I had planned on playing one and still do. They could have been running it with higher specs then wherever the models on the fansites came from. But the graphics in action did not disappoint.
Very impressed with the effort put forward by the PR team and the Community Managers, Scapes is a great guy, glad I got to meet him and the rest of the guys. Even the CEO was present. The dedication and support shown by this company is very apparent. I didn't win a prize from the drawing but we all walked away with some Tera T-shirts and posters. Thanks guys.

I expect we'll get some official coverage of the event from a community manager today or Monday! I'll repost it as soon as it's up, so keep an eye out.
