Finally used my 10 day trial to see what had changed in WS since i last played (i believe i cancelled my sub august or september) I was pleasantly surprised at how much the game has improved. Good job cleaning up the mess you had originally created Carbine.
 
Having said that, when i logged in i found myself in entity, i woke up in my house and upon porting out to Illium, it was...deserted although in all fairness it was around 1pm on a weekday, so i wasnt expecting to see much activity but at least thought id see one or two people around.
I logged off and thought id try again in the evening, so i logged in again and there was a lot of activity so i queued for a vet dungeon and went off in the world killing stuff just to remember my buttons...dungeon never popped and i gave up at about the 2 hour mark.
 
Wildstar the way it is right now i think is heading in the right direction but not worth the sub(personal opinion). I knew it didnt fully draw me in when i saw i had 25 plat and i could have bought 1 credd and i didnt bother.
 
So i have not discarded the idea of coming back and dedicate it my full attention, but only after it goes f2p. 
I followed this game for roughly 4 years before release and had high expectation for it and tho when i left i left with a bad taste in my mouth, i see the improvements made over the course of the past year and hope they continue to improve it to draw more people in and make me open my wallet to support them again.
 
Those of you enjoying the game, have fun slaying pixels.

Glad to head you'll be returning when the transition happens. I just wanted to comment on the queue problem.
 
The wildstar community is not ignorant to the population problems. We never have been. To combat this, each PvE server created their own player made global channels. These chat channels are used to fill groups when the queues are slow. They're also good for just reminding people to queue. Wildstar dungeons are notoriously difficult, so some people still have a stigma of queueing, and go full premade instead. (Either via guild or global chat)
 
More info on chat channels and other new /returning player stuff here:

THAT SAID, I realize you were on a trial account, and I beleive you have chat channel restrictions because of that :S
When you return with a free account though, you should still join the appropriate global channel for your server / factions. Queue times are unlikely to change overnight, even with the payment model change.
 
Also, your mileage may vary. Sometimes queues are really quick and sometimes they're not. Don't write them off

			Hey Thanks for the info on the channels. I wasnt aware of the channel restriction, so i may end up buying one credd and experience the game again as a sub :)

			Actually, the restrictions are only for those who are 100% new to Wildstar. If you bought a copy of the game before you took a break then your 10-day free trial comes with no restrictions.

			cool thanks for the info, i guess i will buy the credd anyways, a whole month should give me a better feel for the game's current state.

			As a subscribing member (even though I don't play right now) I can say that low level stuff never pops.  Still a ghost town, especially on the Dominion side.  :(

Which is why those LFG channels are so vital. You can't just queue up at level 14 and expect things to pop. You gotta take a minute to look around, ask around.

I really think (and hope) that Carbine should add a LFG channel and, even though I loath it with unbridled passion, a global channel. I always make my own chat tabs so I can avoid it when I want too.
