Changing unique generation would likely cause morphing of existing items, and is therefore undesirable. Blocking crashes is as simple as performing correct validation of input from the network. A message log can be easily implemented by blocking the game from clearing stale messages. Full synchronization is not possible without some underyling changes which would have undesirable effects. Specifically, if activity is synchronized, then your character cannot change state until everyone is ready to see it change state. Hope you didn't *really* need to cast Teleport immediately... :)
