I could see that being possible if you put up your own server & knew the LS account name, LS account ID #, etc, but you would also have to know what account would be that of a GM/Admin. That doesn't include knowing how to code that ability in, which I can only think of a handful of people on the forums that may be able to accomplish that.

In the same token, you could create some sort of Access Control List to limit what servers have access to put characters onto your server using some sort of password/key, either per-server or shared.

Anyways, just some thoughts...
