I don't usually object when friends play together. A lot of time that's how we get new players - someone decides to share the addiction and dragoons a sibling, friend, or significant other into the game.

It gets iffy when it's unfair to other players who aren't similarly coordinating. I've seen people abuse this, as when one character logged in to help another character, and headed straight to where they were, without any ingame communication. To me, that's just a step away from "I just died, go get the stuff off my corpse." Things that characters do should be based on IC events and communications, not OOC ones.

But that's on a RP intensive MUD, as Onyxflame points out. On some other muds, it's normal to have this sort of coordination, and honestly, it's more fun to play with friends than solo for most folks.
