Yeah, either unified login. Like, you only need one place where you enter your user credentials, and you use the self-same credentials to log into any server out there. Guess it’s a convenience thing, now that what feels like 90% of all people online have no access to hardware keyboards or screens larger than 6.5".
Or, going beyond that, something like OpenSim’s Hypergrid: You have a player character on one server, and you can teleport to a wholly different server, any server, inventory and skin and all.
I guess we can all imagine how that’s going to be horrible: N00b makes new player character on a non-creative survival server, can’t be bothered to mine or grow or craft or even look for anything, teleports to a creative server, stocks up their inventory with all kinds of stuff and goes back to the non-creative survival server, decked out like a god.
