Ideally it would be a server config option.  I'm a huge fan of letting 
the server administrators decide how they want their server to work.  
There are quests that are designed for multiple players, though only one 
that I've been unable to do solo, and I can understand trying to make 
them really encourage social play. Then again, in a pinch, players will 
just create multiple accounts, so there's not a lot of value in the 
restriction.

On a related note, I could see an argument for a method of letting other 
characters from your own account into your private apartments.
