I think booting the currently logged in character is a better way to limit this than to not allow the account to login when there's already a toon on. The reason is, I see ghosts and characters seemingly stuck online long after I log out sometimes. I think in some cases you might go LD and then not be able to get back in.
In the account table, the active character name is stored when you login .. what about simply checking the Client List and booting the character listed each time you login? This way, if there is already a toon logged in on the account, it will get WorldKicked when you login a second toon.
Granted this is not the way Live works, but I think it would cause less problems and be easier to implement.
