Funny thing is, I invented something like this about 15 years ago. It 
was great fun working out how to handle things like a player's "home" 
server crashing when the player was wandering around on some other 
server and had bought stuff.

I was a bit visionary for the time, so it never got past the 
architectural design level. :-)
