One on one RP should be included in one's story because of its potential to build or break relationships and characters. The problem lies in using this mode of RP excessively, or even exclusively. That isolates a player from the rest of the community, which has an opposite effect. When you're isolated from everyone else, there is no real character development occurring.
I miss that sort of RP. Â Back in Star Wars Galaxies, my character's day would usually start and end like that, just a small gathering getting together (usually having an IC meal or tea as we discuss plans for the day), then off to do whatever (be it actually going out and hunting/flying/leveling, going to an event/party or going to interact with larger groups in a cantina or whatever), then another small gathering near the end of the day (if possible) as we discussed the day, events, just hang out or just whatever came to mind.
And some days it would just be a couple of us going all about, hopping from place to place with interactions at most stops, but continuing IC as we went along (such as my character teasing her friend about her speeder piloting skills as we drove from a shuttle to a nearby city or some destination to meet up with others).
