Not just that,
but it would solve the issue with the 'character copying' business. If someone is online with a character that is dated with a creation of 3 years ago and someone spawns in with the exact same character as the original, but with a date of creation being - say, 10 minutes ago? - then it'll be easier of an issue to solve.
While generally there isn't much of a rule against character copying as it's so difficult to know who made the character first and when, this kind of suggestion would aid in resolving this. The punishment for the reported character copying is in the hands of the Staff, IF there would be any punishment system in place at all. I know that I, for one, would want one if a character I either bought with my own money or created out of my entire free time, was copied.
