To be fair, it isn't the 'one character per player' rule necessarily that is hurting the feudal hierarchy, it's just the shortage of characters of which this rule is one but hardly the only cause. Yes you do get zombie alts on other continents but my experience is that most people legitimately want to have two separate experiences, as we've all see how two realms on the same continent can be like playing two different games - just as a single realm with only 15 people in it is pretty dull even if those 15 people are good players. You can't have really interesting politics when a voting bloc is three people.
