Origins used to have about 8000 servers as I've heard, then Epoch took over and the development stopped which has left it to around 2000, only about 100 decently populated (on DayZ Commander).
Of course, everyone loves Epoch, but I still think this is the most contentful mod and the best mod, however, Epoch had full server control to their admins, the best thing you can do here is see what other people see in first person, I see you are adding some things, but you need to give admins more power to their servers that they pay quite a bit for.
I'm not saying give them ability to spawn things in, but let them have some other stuff, like being able to edit their server ESPECIALLY with the loading screen and any on-screen messages. Maybe teleporting and god-mode, but if you did do that, you would have to add a section to the Reporting People section for reporting servers with admin abuse and being able to shut them down.
Only a thought, but a lot more people that ran highly populated servers would most likely come back and be able to make their server a little more unique, like changing the loot tables to a certain extent.
Anyways, please consider.

Power to Admins
Re: Power to Admins
With the last update in Origins Guard the Admins won new powers. We can change the weather, starting loadout for all or specific players, NPC difficulty (Sector B, missions, Ivan's Lab etc), time between missions, sector B air patrol difficulty.
Customizing the 1st or 2nd loading screen maybe an idea, I don't dislike it.
Teleporting, GodMod, and Spawing items is one of the worse ideas that could be added. Now a days an admin cant sneeze without someone shouting admin abuse, so you those options were on the table with would be 5x worse...
Why do people like Epoch or other PVP bases mods? Well thats its... PVP. Give a player a sniper in every apartment or chicken nest and you have a happy player. Give a player some difficulties and challenges and they will whine and complain. We live in the COD and BF age, where you just point and shoot with big guns. So yeah those kind of mods will always have more players around, but I don't care. Origins is still unique, with something that resembles a story and back ground, and these things evolve with every update.

Re: Power to Admins
If admins will be able to spawn items or have godmode they can't play on their own server anymore because everyone will call them abuser.

Re: Power to Admins
Good points and I didn't realize that Origins guard had been updated and I never have liked starting Loadout changes, I've already joined two servers today with some hefty stuff, all of the people on them were rude and just being massive dicks, they should just go play OverPoch, also, I see why the AI were so hard at some missions today :3
