Seriously, the best system for that I've ever seen was to have a "character profile" as part of the registration requirement, with the profile going under some form of review. The only problem is the review process. If you're making a "massive multiplayer" game, that process gets way wayyy too cumbersome. Since you say: >We're >not making a game where we want thousands of players that play for few >hours, making mischief and then quit. I'm assuming you're not into the "massive" component as much. The other problem with the review is deciding who does it; not only in finding enough people willing to do manual review, but in making sure that their only biases are towards the quality and atmosphere of the game. The birth idea is interesting, but it's got some implications I'm not too fond of.
