Player Features and Ideas Discussion

This topic has come up a couple times over the last few months - both in the CSM minutes, and in some of the dev interviews and blogs. I don't recall where exactly, but back around Thanksgiving I read some more detailed info as to why this can't be done currently - something to do with how the client processes login//character information, and not being able to 'hot-swap' characters without a full restart.

CCP would certainly love to do this, but would require some very fundamental rewriting of much of the code to make it work. It's something they may try to implement someday, but probably not for a while - there's more important things they want to do first.
