Personally, I think the best fix would be for someone to make a rule that would allow admins to toggle on or off the option of logging in more than 1 character from a single account at the same time. This is something I have wanted for a while anyway and resolves a couple of issues. Not to mention, it is much easier on the players, since if they are botting from the same account at the same time, they are getting disconnected almost every time they zone on at least 1 character. This would work the same way live does and I think it would be helpful to resolve a few things.
It would be nice to see a rule for this to enable or disable the setting and maybe even a minimum account status setting to be exempt from the rule as well.
I think this would resolve your plat duping issue and so it would basically kill 2 birds with 1 stone. And, I don't think the code would be way too bad to write. I might even be able to figure it out by using the IP limiting code that TheLieka posted as an example. Though, my coding skills are still gimp, so if someone else can do it, that would be great
