One Empire per Server?

Well I'd assume they might be able to do something like this:
You log onto Emerald. You want NC to be the empire for Emerald. You have TR and VS characters. A window appears and tells you of the change. You are given an option to move characters of a particular empire to one of the other servers. (NC, TR, VS selection) You click TR. You are asked what server you want to move to (Markov, Werner). You choose to move you TR chars to Markov. TR Characters are moved to Markov. Now the option reads (NC, VS) You select VS. A confirmation now appears that you want to move the VS characters to Werner. You confirm. You are left with NC characters only for Emerald. This process would be repeated on each server until each has characters of only one empire.
Should the character name exist on a server you are moving characters onto - that name will be appended with -X where X is the first letter of the server name they came from. Example: One of the TR characters you moved to Markov from Emerald in the example above has the same name as an existing character already on Markov. Your TR character name is then appened by -E when it is moved to Markov to prevent conflict.
