My friend the "content locust" :(

I almost agree with you. But only almost. It is early in the game's lifecycle, and they do plan to keep up with the 3 month schedule for updates.

From all interviews they wanted a 2~2.5month cycle. This may or may not have changed

12/14 is 2.1
we are 2/14

so we are on 2 months right now. Given the new years is a traditional slow down. It's entirely too early to see their designated goals.

What's in the content does matter, but not as much as you think. There is always a consumption of "any" content. No matter what. That's what make the WoW model such a surprise.

They can have an intern design something half baked, and people would still do it to past the time, and call it good.

There needs to be a mixture here.

And more needs to be said for "movie" content like hildibrand, that offers nothing but story and humor. Yet people will keep their subs just to wait for the next episode.

In terms of programing effort for hildibrand. It is a matter of days with a few interns, and very good story board employees directing it. (Basically just on those alone, they can stuff into any update and people will be fine with it)
