Exactly. He said the guy had played the character for something like 4
years, real time. This doesn't seem impossible if that's all the guy is
working on...

Are you sure? RQ3, p57, says "Also, a contol spell supersedes the
innate control held over a creature bound into an item. An enchanter
who does not use conditions to restrict the use of his items may find
his Bond creatures stolen from him or used against him by crafty
opponents..." To me this sounds like user restrictions could protect
his bound creatures.
