There's two advantages to this system, one as the already mentioned being able to login eventually once the server is full to the brim. The other is that it makes the servers "look" like they are fuller than they are, this makes people believe that there are actually people to play with so that they will login in hopes of teaming and such. If the servers used to be green before they are now yellow, unless there is absolutely NO one on that server in which it will be green for the NPCs, if they are red then they used to be yellow.

Before you make half cocked comments take the time to look past the smoke and mirrors that have clouded your senses. Yeah sure the game probably has picked up a few more subs but it's more of the old crowd that used to play this game, how much is a game with dated looks and graphics going to attract new customers? Wouldn't the fitness gimmick have been smarter to introduce new players to with the "expansion" since they wouldn't realize the fitness pool was necessary anyways? It's great that there's a whole new tutorial zone for the few new subs they got but I'm sure those that have played this game for so long would have liked to have seen an addition to what they can do with their 50s instead of "later".

If you are RPing as a character who has an origin which origin do you pick?
In my context a toon (Thugs/Poision MM) has always had an amazing ability to perceive - he can tell if someone is excited, nervous or lying from a single twitch. But he keeps how he can a secret. Even I don't know if he uses spells, if he was born with the ability to do it or he's so used to people that he can figure it out.

However I do know how the ability started. The base of this ability is that he used to be able to notice things better than the average person. And by practicing that he could apply that to people. Sure you could say "That's natural origin - he trained to be able to do that!" However you look at telekenetics and most of them start out really weak and have to train on lifting up the spoon with their minds before they can move onto the toaster and that's definately not natural origin.

Anyway I won't tell you which I picked in the end. (I might later if you ask nicely.) I want to know what you guys would/have use(d).

tl;dr: If a toon you rp keeps how they got their powers a secret which origin did you pick?

Not sure whether that's considered a "low budget" for L50 IOs or plenty of scratch to build out anything from Auction House purchases. So that amount of INF is one constraint, and the other is we don't want to deal with PvP to find PvP-specific IOs.

Base names would be one way of letting people know what the base is supposed to portray as well. You can't currently tell the Sub-Humans' Underwater Lair from Mistress Lash's Dungeon or the Freedom Satellite from Moonbase Clearwater once you're inside if they all come down to being either hewn stone, high tech or dirty.
