Probably just open for any 'future' feature.
An offline bonus system (just like the exp thing of WoW or sortlike) doesnt really suit the name 'secret identity'. It would be a waste if they later think up a true 'alternate' hero system and the name was already bound to the offline bonus system.

Yah, I reckon that they've left it open so that if, in the future, they add a feature that allowed us to have secret identities, they could call it just that.
I don't know what it would entail, but it could lead to some interesting arcs, possibly involving somebody threatening to reveal your identity, or perhaps you could work undercover in the other factions areas.
I'd personally love to go undercover to the Rogue Isles.

Well, Day Jobs isn't an online bonus system like any rest XP system I've ever seen, but I agree that they probably just want to leave it open for some massively future time when they can implement secret IDs properly.

Hmmmm... what do you suppose that means? CoX2? Engine upgrade? New game?
Any thoughts?

I get the feeling there's more to a secret identity than this, so they don't want to rule out doing it better in the future (be that in COX or a different game).
Secret identities have a whole raft of consequences in superhero terms that don't fit into "where you log out". I would hope that if they implemented Secret Identities they would have to be something you would need to maintain, build and nurture. You'd have to show up for work, stop people from finding out who you really are, take steps to prevent people who have found out from telling the world... who knows what else.
I just think it's too big a part of super hero culture for NCNC to blow the whole thing on an off line reward system.
Just my 2 inf.

Keeping your identity secret is far too easy for stalkers tho...they just turn on hide 
But yea the name is probably being kept for some massively secret agenda we're not allowed to know about. For some reason I thought Issue 13 might have a bit of a dark twist with it being 13 n all I guess my feelings got clouded

This started out as a kind of secret identity system, but we wanted to save the term Secret Identity for a system that fit that name better.
