Back in the day, it was hard for a lot of SG's to build a decent base so the devs did a 'one-time' grant of free prestige per character in the SG. I forget how much prestige it was. However, since it was done without warning, people screamed bloody murder. So the devs said they would do a second grant of prestige per character and announced it in advance.
So, people made filler characters to pad people's SG's up to the maximum size. I made a spreadsheet to track the 'trades' (I'll put 12 characters in your SG on Pinnacle if you put 12 in mine on Infinity). I still have the spreadsheet It looks like I created around 690 characters to fill people's SG's.
That makes sense. I knew there was a reason and yeah I remember trading on the forums. Had 2 accounts for myself and my son and I am sure I used both.

Would that have been "Sisters of the Silvermoon?" With Saph and Hopper?
Hell yeah that was it. Haven't heard those names in a long time. I did not play on the Hero side much, but ran with them after different badges etc.
Pretty sure we did some random stuff on other servers as well. I'm getting old the memories are there but can't always access them.
I seem to remember blowing a Master TF with them by dying on the final boss with my MM. Memory is fickle but thinking it was Hero 1 on Lady Grey.

Played pretty much only Villains on Infinity thanks to limited character slots. I had one hero that ran with another SG that I met through Badge Hunting. Started in late 2004 played until 2011. Was a moderator on Inf Badge Seeker active in many other of the badge channels and tracked on Badgewhore and City Info Terminal.
Infinity main Crimson Cadillac. MM Thugs/Traps
SG The League of Distinguished Villains
Global same as when live @TBK
Only Hero on Infinity was Black Hole Storm in an SG with the name Sisters or SIsterhood and I do not remember the rest.
Other characters on Infinity:
Amper-rage Elec/Elec Brute
Plain Yogurt dont remember powerset
Crazy Ol' Man Plants/Mind Dom
Fargin Ice Hole Ice Corruptor I believe
Black Knight of Lore Stalker
and many more less played characters or others that I started and wiped.
Fired up the old XP machine I originally played on and found the install with a log of character names. Some of them I seriously do not remember making and then saw characters named SGPadder on different servers. I forget what that was about but remember helping fill up SG's for something. Found one old Infinity Screenshot for a Hami wipe. Image is so fuzzy hard to tell what was going on.

Have not found old screenshots yet but remember seeing them a few years ago.

More or less.
Bases were expensive on Live. I was in a top 10 SG on Pinnacle and we did not have the biggest plot or most elaborate base by any means. Functional but not elaborate.
