&gt;How is this going to keep people from having more than one character?
&gt;Encouraging people is not enough. You're still going to have multiple
&gt;characters per person, end of story. You may have slightly less, but this
&gt;wouldn't have a prayer of stopping everyone that uses multiple characters
&gt;from doing so.
&gt;

In a pay for play system, simply providing only 1 character per 
account would do it, as long as the account is the same price 
as a current multi-character account.  I posted a pretty extensive 
rant on the topic under the subject heading,

RE:  [MUD-Dev] Gamasutra:  Online Justice Systems -  dated 3/27/00, 

I am fairly confident that players would understand that the
 increase in cost per character accompanies an increase in 
the quality of play, due to the many problems that a single 
character system corrects.
