I have seen a lot more players recently, watching forums almost everydays and a lot of returning players threads too.
 
If you were waiting for the right time to give Wildstar a second chance, i think it is now or never!
 
And invite your friends too, its time!!!

I'm new to here too!!!
I do love this game, have been tired of so many other WOW-like mmos as they are so boring.
I appreciate rule-breaking and so does this game!
Especially the telegraph stuff.

			I wouldn't say now is a good time to "bring your friends" because "there is a small growth" happening. Which, I know your counting me in the "returning players" statement cause the last I played this game was during beta times. You should wait abit longer, like a month or so, as we can stop playing at any given time. I cannot speak for all of them, but I can speak for myself here when I say that the only reason why I have come back is because I enjoyed some parts of this game, but I didn't love all of it. I got my gripes here and there. But, most of those were typical beta stuff. Also, since I been playing quite alot of beta mmo's (I get invited to alot of them) I wanted to seek out a decent one that I remember. Now, since I remember wildstar was 1 of the mmo beta's I played which I enjoyed to a degree, I picked it up. But, I am not committed to it...yet. It still has yet to prove it's worth to me. But, I do see some improvements from the beta, which is a good thing. Anyways I am about to go off topic abit here...The point I am trying to make here is "don't be inviting people because you see a small growth in population."

			When drop 4 comes out, I'd say drag your friends in especially if they introduce additional motivation to. If you wait there may be another sale too and it'll be much easier to convince them if they haven't tried it before, I'm not entirely expecting that though with drop 4, at least any time soon.	
----
			I also think this is a good time to join. With Drop 4 on the horizon, the majority of the content and changes is geared toward max level... So... Perfect time to get to 50! Gogogo!

			When seeing lots of players talking about drop 4, what is it about?Why it would bring positivities to the game?What changes will be made to help making the game better from before?

There is defo a population growth. The most obvious signs of this are the settleor nodes being built.
 
When the game first came out they were everywhere, but when we had the dip of player count, I personally never saw them anywhere. I Thayd, the other day, I even saw the teleport node up. I hadn't seen that for months!!
 
As mirg said, now isn;t the best time yet to bring friends in, but drop 4 is the biggest content release since the game actually launched and I think what they are bringing in looks amazing (others would also agree).
 
Drop 4 will even have a lot more low lvl content to make the early game better.

			As a player returning after playing closed beta, I'm very happy with the player pop on PvE. I have played with other players regularly and much more so than other MMOs, even more populated ones. This game does a great job of encouraging that while leveling. I also really like the 2 man mini boss fights. It's great to come across another player leveling in the same area, get together and quickly go take out a 2 man mini boss. My only beef thus far has been my first Adventure (5-man) Riot. I que but it never pops. Other than that I couldn't be happier with this game.

From just a hand full stood around  the AH 6 weeks ago to this today https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rSn8cCMXFc
 
Zee players are returning....best viewed HD....maybe your there  :)  (EU)

I'm sorry I like the game but have seen ZERO evidence of growth. Unfortunately player population on the servers ebbs and flows, and with the holidays that makes that even more apparent. Unless carbine announces real numbers, all we have is anecdotal evidence.
 
Even if the game is going through growing pains, tell your friends if you like it. Waiting for the next big thing is a waste of time and as Nifty mentioned much of drop 4 will be for end game. It's a good game for grouping up with friends even if it can be soloed. Numerous guilds exist and joining one can make it even more enjoyable.

			I just returned too,so hope that helps. Been back three days now and enjoying it!

It's hard to say really. I think there is a small increase in concurrency with a trickle of new players popping in here and there. Deradune and Ellevar seem just slightly, very slightly to have a couple of new faces in them. However I do see more activity with level cap players, but it from what I've seen most of those people are not returning/new, but rather they're mostly from Warhound.
 
What I often found was a big issue was more of communication, like the other day someone said they hadn't talked to anybody in days, even though they expected the low level zones to be a bit empty. So I pointed them to a couple of custom channels and theyve had a better time.
