Hi, Carbine!
 
F2P's been out now for almost two months, given the quarterly update schedule we might expect another release in late December/early January. Seems like a good time to let us know what's on the agenda for next year, doesn't it?
 
In retrospect, how'd the F2P relaunch go? Did it work in terms of bringing in new players? How many accounts have been made? Has player retention been better than it was at P2P launch?
 
How's the cash shop working out? Are there things you are finding particularly successful? Things that you expected to be successful that haven't been? Plans for the future?
 
What's the plan for 2016? Neighborhoods?The next raid tier? Continuation of the world story? New stuff for PvPers during Season 2? Any thoughts on the state of crafting? Any QoL improvements, fluff, or content in the pipeline that you think we'll be particularly excited about?
 
Enquiring minds want to know!
 
Edited to remove questions that are already answered, and add a few more!

Cryoplex is out, yes.
Redmoon terror as I recall was pushed back a bit if I read right. Someone correct me if I'm wrong
 
Much as I know anyway...would be nice to get a state of the game.	
----
			I recall being told that Neighborhoods would be released shortly after the big F2P drop, still hoping to get some information on that, too.	
----
			It would be awesome to know what's happening next year. I'm mostly interested in the rumours about a new bg... would be awesome. And also ofc if there's anything coming up for housing =)	
----
			I think Neighborhoods were pushed back because they wanted to do more with them. Not sure how far pushed back they got though.  I would really like to see a status update myself, especially on when we might see the next big update and some hints on what that update will have.  That said, I'm not really expecting anything until January. At least we'll have Winterfest in December.	
----
			I'm okay with less new content if they fix the current content and the declining playerbase on PVP realms (free transfers, advertising?).

Marketing is the biggest issue to fix, I agree with that totally

			I was just thinking about this the other day. Carbine needs to start talking to us about upcoming content. Redmoon is obviously high on my list, but it's also been a year since the last world story update as well, so I'm sure people want to know about the Vault. We don't even need dates just yet. Just tell us something we can look forward to about the lore or events or something.	
----
			
I too would like to know about the Neighborhood feature and other content.
 
That said, we do know when Winterfest starts! It runs from Dec 18th-Jan 1st (should end a couple days after New Years Day, but whatever)
 
New world story would be nice too...tick tock here...the natives are growing restless. ;)	
----
			They better fix the bug they added with the older updates before doing big ones now	
----
			Cryoplex is here but it's still buggy, there are parts of the floor that cause spells to glitch and not hit.	
----
			
state of the game update:
 
Connection to the server still the same as one year ago:
 	
----
			
Login errors, that's the state of the game.
 
Before they even consider adding new content they need to get the game in decent working order.
 
I want to know less about what is happening in game and more about when NC are going to hire a few more devs. Regardless of how anyone feels about things right now, the current team needs help.

			TT likes to troll on reddit sometimes. I honestly think they won't release new drop until late jan/beg feb. And they announced the name of the next drop. Hint, it's after omnicore. But honestly holiday schedules for alot have off so doubt will release right after holiday season. Good time would of been right before holidays to bring in people with time off and new cpud

As awesome as the datamining is, I'd kind of like to know from Carbine what's going on, rather than inferring things to come unofficially.
 
Plus, actual company communication is a good thing to have. It lets you know what their thoughts are currently, as opposed to a few months ago.

It's not hard to go "ok, this is what we plan for in the game.  No clue when it's coming.  Some stuff may be cut or added at a later time."  At least we would know what's planned.  Some sort of timeline and future drop plans.  "Redmoon is planned for Drop 7 and we are shooting for end of January release......  Oh, it got delayed a drop due to finally let TimeTravel out of his cage to get some fresh air and he decided to try to make a run for it, it's ok, we caught up to him and tranq'd him and he's back in his cage."  
 
There's just so many people going what if this and what if that, and this is what they should do.  Well, Carbine, it's your game, tell us what is happening.  The only reason I see them not saying anything is if it's  NCSOFT is milking all the whales for all their money prior to shutdown of servers.	
----
			I wonder if that's why so many people, myself included, are starting to look so hard at what the game does well and where it needs improvements so often lately. Of course, I also question if the lack of anything being said is because they currently have a vacancy in the studio head position as well. Kind of a key communication role there. Not sure who's stepped up to fill it?
