If the name already exists, it prompts you for an alternate name. That will be the one you use on that mud at that moment. Primary name stored in the file, secondary name used on that mud. If necessary, multiple alternate names can be used.
As far as experience and everything else porting to another mud, yes, it would. Any MUD that entered into the goup would have to accept that older players from other muyds would be logging onto their mud and causing havoc. If you're in a step, you're in all the way.
This isn't something that every mud is going to want, and it's more likely that newer muds will try this in an attempt to pool pbases. But although this does require more work on everyone's part, the end result could be 500-3k players all knowing and playing with each other in huge multiple worlds, building very large intricate clans and alliances.
The ends just have to justify the means, and the code aspect doesn't play a role there. At that point, it's just getting enough good admins together to make it worthwhile.
