== Content ==
			
Think of them like small little "expansions." They add new content to the game.
Here is an example of a drop, the first drop. Drop 1.

			Ok, I'm fairly new here, and I'm learning but for some reason the phrase "Drop <insert number here> doesn't pop up for me in a google search.  I got everything from Lemon Drops to Drop the Soap!  Anyway, I notice many people will refer to Drop 1, Drop 2 Drop 3, etc...  What are Drops? :D  Thanks for answering and indulging a noob question.

It's a content drop, like an expansion of sorts. only in smaller chunks.
 
Originally they were shooting for a content drop every month, in hopes of keeping subscribers in the game, however things happened and they got delayed.
 
Now we will probably get more drops a bit faster.

			Very cool.  So a large content patch/small expansion.  Nice :)  I wondered how contend addons would work in this game.  Didn't figure y'all had been playing for a year with no additions.  Thanks for the info you guys!

Kinda nit-picky, but the plan for monthly drops, now called updates, wasn't delayed but abandoned. After feedback from the player base, Carbine went to a more sustainable quarterly update schedule.
 
The F2P conversion was considered one of these updates.
 
Anything faster than quarterly, I don't really think Carbine can sustain, so I'd keep expectations realistic.

Drop is when:
1. You shoot somebody in the face, and they drop.
2. You shoot a mob in the face and it drops you a SHINY.
3. Watch out for those lopp, if you see one running towards your shiny follow instructions 1.
4. Feel free to go and DROP your shiny at a local market if you don't need it, profit like a proto-star!
