Title : account system

OK so I'm working hard on an account system. Basically this
system will tie all of your CHARACTERS together into a single
ACCOUNT. Learn the terminology now because we'll be needing
it in the future. Each account has a name, email address, and
password. At some later date we'll let people login to their
ACCOUNT (as opposed to your character) and then select a
character to login to from there. This let's us keep all
characters nicely tied together. It has some real benefits
from the wizardly side but there are going to be benefits to
you players as well.

Just two first ones will be all bank accounts for all characters
assigned to the same account will be tied together. This means
you can have one giant money pool to pull from. Yay! Then, of
course, you asked for it and hoepfully it won't be too far
away, we'll let you tie your Magewar albums together into
one giant album.

The ONLY thing that works now is account management - none
of the bank or magewar stuff YET. This is the base, we have
to have this first.

I'd love it if you guys wanted to screw around with this system
and test it out, submit bugs, typos, etc to me (using 'bug'
and 'typo' commands please). The command to do account
management is 'mychars'.

See 'mychars help'.

Right now the best you can do is tie all your characters together
and list them out. The listing is cool though cause it will
tell you the level of all your chars, if they are banished,
etc. Even the last login - kinda neet!

This system is in super-beta mode now, soon it will be
voluntary (hopefully you'll think the benefits listed above
are worthy of testing it out) and then in time it will be
mandatory. Get used to it, feel it out, help me make it
better. Now's your chance!
