As I see it, first will be server-side support (which you started to 
implement), then client-side.
So let's add a new "use_account" SETUP setting sent by clients. If set, use 
account mode, then use regular/current player login.
Obviously add options in account management to link an character to an 
account :)

And after some time remove legacy support.
