I confess to only scanning Raph's hugely long explanation, but I
don't recall seeing any mention of the problems their building lot
system might have if every player had say 7 characters per
server. Suddenly, its possible for one person to own too much land
far too easily. Welcome to Dan town, I own every building!

For me that's far more compelling than any of the other reasons I
noted. Of course the answer is to just limit lot numbers by player
not character.
