Over my dead body.

Aside from some very good players, almost every island that allows  
more than one character from the same family has trouble with them. I  
dare to say that 90% of the cases fall in one of only three categories:
* attempts to "boost up" your favorite realm by having two characters  
in it
* attempts to expand your own personal influence, by having two  
characters in the same realm (and double votes)
* attempts at cheating by having characters on both sides of the war

As I said, there are many exceptions, but it's just too obvious that  
almost every cheater that I've ever locked had this pattern of having  
two characters in the same realm. Coincidence?

Quite frankly, the trend will be much more towards setting the limit  
at 1 for all islands.

Some regions are worth more for strategic reasons, or maybe  
roleplaying regions, or maybe just preventing a rogue monster spawn  
from sitting right in the middle of your realm, than they are in gold.
