I was wondering if there is any news about a large content update or expansion pack.  There is tons of new people coming back to the game, but now to keep them I'd say you have about three weeks to announce something that gives people somethign to lok forweard to, before they loose interest and numbers start dropping.
 
Expansion pack annoucnement woudl be EPIC but chances of that happening are pretty slim I guess.

			I have to agree. There is so much going on right now for both returning players and players that have been here from the start. We have the in game events starting as well. I would be excited to hear about another drop but I don't believe it's something that *has* to be done now. 	
----
			You have to consider that F2P was a content drop on its own right, If things go smooth you can expect a drop early next year, they have Halloween and Christmas events so it won't exactly be boring here o3o.	
----
			
New players are just getting to level 50. Returning players are just getting their gear runed and ready for raiding. 
 
No way that the new/returning players are already bored with the end game. 	
----
			
While on the back end conversion to FTP is obviously a gigantic project rivaling in size any large expansion to the potential player un-aware of the details like we are, it does not represent a siginificant content  influx.  If they heard any news about it from forums and Twitch it;s the somewhat frequest lag & glitches found in the initial offering.
 
My question had nothing to do with anyone getting bored.  Whether or not we are being entertained right now is irrevelant to the masses of potential players.  Many people will require a reason to try WIldstar and/or something that everyone is looking forward to in relation to WIldstar.  Wildstar being FTP does lower the entry requirements to the point where we can now expect a success that this game well deserves but noiw that the entry requirement has been brought down people out there still need a reason to give it a try.  People that will spend money on Wilkdstar will nto try it just 'couse it's free to play, they are much more likely to do so if you give them a reason for it though.  Even if it;s just the Heloween and Christmas events they woudl do well to make small trailers for them and try their best to make them look "bigger then life" (figure of speech).  An announcment of a drop some time next year, with tight focus and very thematic, still before xmas, woudl go a long way.
 
IMHO player retention will suffer greately if there is no new "carrot on a stick" announcement in form of drop/expansion annoucement for next year.

I second the request for more information about future drops, given the lack of "content" that dropped with F2P conversion.
 
It was billed as "more than a business model change", yet like most PR makers, they run with words that are the opposite to what they actually are, ergo, it was only a business model change and the quarterly drop was not a drop.
 
I do not support the reasoning the many have already mentioned, that is the call for more content is related to Endgame players getting bored, I'm just holding Carbine to their word to release "content"

havent they already announced a new raid for drop 7? coming in late december/early january?
 
as f2p player you will have tons of raiding content in GA/DS if you find a PvE guild. a new raid will not have avatus on farm too fast ;), and there is still augmentors as "onyxia encounter" which is obv not more than a fillerboss to the next raid.
in terms of PvP i dont know what they have planned nor do i care much.

How to keep them?
 
Servers that are playable for more than 20 hours without a restart.
 
 
Server stability issues are several orders of magnitude more important to the longevity of the game than a "content drop"; which you had just two weeks ago.
 
All The Best

& moving forward....

The bean counters will see if its worth making new content or just re-colouring old content.
 
id expect something new in the next 3 months. if not... It might not be such a bright horizon...
 
most new content will be stuff in the shop for sale.....	
----
			
New content is the last thing people should be thinking about right now.
 
They need to get the content that is there in a playable state before adding more potential problems.	
----
			
Oh yes, we're running out of time. Oh, goodness gracious me, yes we are.
 
I think all this pressure is givin' me the vapors.

I'm pretty sure I've seen myself use this argument before a few drops ago....
I agree that content needs to be in a playable state, but they cannot hold out on new content either.
MMO's thrive on new content being added, and the game will become rather stale if no new content is added on a regular base.
 
So it's definitely no the last thing we should be thinking about, but it's not the top priority either.
----
			
So, does the Shade's Eve event not count?
 
Does the Grand Prix event not count?
 
Does the Protostar Winter event not count?
 
I mean, all of those are coming in the next three months, all of them are content, all of them are new, all of them are going to kick ass.
 
Seems like we've got plenty of new content, and seems like we've gotten pretty good information about at least two of those events.	
----
			
Probably they will annunce future content (new dungeons, areas, raids or stuff like that) when everything is settle, in fact, I belive they have to do it because it's a sign of longevity. 
 
I'm worried about this F2P transition ending just as a cash grab before shutting it down.	
----
			There isn't likely going to be any new big content announcement for at least a few more months if not more.  They still have a lot to work our with the f2p move along with focusing on some cash shop first.  SWToR I remember when they went f2p, it was all about their Cartel Market (cash shop) right after the change for months until new content came out.  And this was already months and months of no new content when it was sub only before the transition.	
----
			I think they should at least make announcements. It would show that this isn't a dead MMO, and that fresh content is coming. A lot of people see f2p as a death knell (even though it is actually successful for a lot of MMOs), so to show that new stuff is on the way would dispel that notion.

----
			I believe when they say 'new content' they mean 'permantent new content'. Those you mentioned are seasonal events that will go away after their respective holiday/time of the year and then come back next year. Though I have no idea what the Grand Prix is.

I couldn't agree more, i am not expecting new raids and stuff tomorrow or next week etc, but would be awesome if carbine could go... HEYYO! Guys looks here, New Raid ... BAM Piccy, New Dungeon ... BAM piccy... New Daily zone (everstar grove?) and not forgetting the PVPers, a New Battleground (GIVE HUTT HUTT BG! - Imagine it 10 vs 10... 1 ball, get the ball over the line get increased damages and wipe the other team!!) then they post a 5 second video of Redmoon Mordecai spinning his weapons on this undead hands and with some EPIC music from our Mr Jeff! Finally at the end says... Coming Drop 7, January! 
 
Its to build hype and help promote the awesome game!

			Too soon, F2P players now comprise of the majority of the population and it'd be premature to announce a new raid or expansion. Hell, I've been playing 8 hours a day since release and I'm just now hitting vet dungeons.
