Indeed, it's a full level of organization/abstraction, accounts
containing characters or accounts being characters.  It's a design
decision that comes in pretty early in any 'mudlib' (or equiv).
Early... which brings me to my next point..

It is my opinion that there wasn't a single design reason for it,
only shiny objects to distract from the real issue of poor
planning. It is my belief that it isn't a feature; it's a last
minute hack.  If it really was a design decision there would have
been no need for the snowstorm and the laughable 'out here in the
real world we have to pay bills so you just shut up and give us
money because we know what you want' PR joke.
