When people hear MMO and "Origins" together they think of Ultima Online, developed by Origin Systems.

Is this an intentional allusion?

Can't say that's the case with me. Played UO for several years and didn't for one moment think of this allusion you speak of. o.0

People see connections where they want to. Just don't speak so broadly and generalize everyone (“when people” ) when it's not the case.

Hi there,

It looks like an awesome project - you guys really have something amazing going on here. Nice work.

I'm a programmer (C++ / .NET) and wuod like to here more about the "[color="#3d3d3d"] Programmers / Mobile Developers (IOS / Andriod / Windows 7 Mobile)" part.

What technologies are you using here? What are the planse for the mobile versions?
I might be interested in the programming and/or WP7 programming.

Thanks,

Jacob

I don't recall saying everyone makes that connection. You assume that only I do, since you don't happen to have made that connection? Any person even remotely aware of the history of MMOs could tell you the connection between the word "origin" and MMOs.

Please cut the off-topic chit-chat guys -- some people may associate the term "origin[s]" with Ultima Online, others will not -- we do not need a continued discussion of this bumping the topic constantly. In that spirit, please also refrain from responding to this post.
