Bioware is built upon making the best story-based gameplay we possibly can, and that philosohpy has always ben a cornerstone of SWTOR's design - that won't be changing. We'll have more details as we're able to share them.
Allison,

Respectfully you dodged the question. We are fully confident that we will see "story". Makeb will have story. The major concern is "personal story". I for one am not looking forward to a "dry spell" of 5 levels with no story if Makeb is designed for 5 levels of play ( the prposed range of level cap increase ) and no continuation of my Imperial Agents story (as an example). That is the question to take back to Mr. Schubert for which we need an answer.

When will we see "chapter 4", "chapter 5", etc ...?

Make sense?

Okie dokie I just wish people would stop using the phrase "going forward", there are so many other ways of saying you're going to be doing something in the future.

When I see "going forward", I read "be forwarned".

I see "not entirely sure what's going on" sadly enough. It's management speak, not something you want to see in public communication.

I'm curious if Nightmare EC or the Ancient Hypergates warzone will drop next.

I'd imagine the new warzone is next, as to keep the PvP base happy. Then maybe Nightmare EC 6 weeks after that?

I think they should go faster intervals, considering we had no new content for 6 months.

1.3 had no content at all. So I hope it will be 3 - 4 weeks and content especially the promised and much waited one, as EC Nightmare, New WZ, Space Mission, HK-51, New Dailies in Belsavis, Makeb, and new Nightmare Mechanics for EV and KP.

Are you sure it is a 5 level cap? I see the gear and I think last tier of this gear will be 65, so I imagine that will be the final level before an expansion comes. May be late next year.

The current Operational story will need 2 more Opps after TFB, until u meet the Dread Lords and story is closed.
All Opps for those that don't know are story related as well, with Dread Masters and the Gree.

this gives me flashbacks to when i was playing phantasy star universe on the na servers my false promise detector is pretty sensitive from that experience.

as a note we had
soon=at least as two months
very soon=at least a month
very very=soon next patch
and the dreaded "in future updates"=never

I'm a bit concern because there was zero mention of Story updates if Bioware has abandoned that I don't see the IP doing well at all.
I would assume story updates to be apart of expansion content, not main ones. All in all I would rather they fix the game before adding in more story based character content.
