I was just talking about this with a friend.
There's a PHP script that can be installed on EQEmu servers called CharacterBrowser, it's free and extremely easy to set up. All it is is a search engine for the character database. For example, you search for Seeatee, the database is then searched for your character and all your gear, stats, etc is automatically displayed without you ever having to put any work into it. I hope the devs can get this running soon. Here is an example of the system in action on the Storm Haven server. You can look up my character Reiker to see how it works:
