Well, I think the game is close to being up for me, and I may well be the longest-serving player left; I don't see anything happening. All I see is people capturing territory and crafting, to then watch even better items than they can craft being sold to the biggest ks backer (every time more or less) on the market by the dungeon master account. Because of the combined effects of crafting and the market very few quests are ever worth doing (as in most days, none), and none are a challenge. Amcilla sometimes bumps up the quest rewards but that's not making them any more challenging and then in any case we all jump on them and do them instantly so the next day(s) its back to the status quo. So PvE has nothing left to offer (I can't imagine it would be much coding just to make some really hard guild quests with multiple deities for cool prizes, but I guess the boat has sailed). People try to get vendettas going but there is essentially no PvP. As I have noted in several previous posts, there is no genuine reason to co-op at all, so almost no-one does it. No-one really believes any more that there will be any more updates. I decided to hit the tower, finally, and killed the level 25 leader on the way to getting to design the lev 32 floor and have my name carved forever in the pixels of the wiki page, but then rstln told me he'd already got there and it wasn't happening.. the tower just stops.
I like the game enough that if there were content updates I'd probably stay, but I get that its not making any money and you have to focus on the one that might. Its both sad and encouraging that each week new players still come to the game, but its almost impossible to sincerely motivate them anymore.
Good luck with TiB2, I might give it a try when its out next year.
