How far accents and the like can be taken is highly dependent on the MU*. This thread brings to mind a particular character on the MUD I currently play. Most people can barely understand him the first couple of times they interact with him because of a heavy accent and unique speech pattern. Instead of avoiding RP with this person, many people have taken the time to get used to and understand the accent and speech pattern. On other games I have played people are much less tolerant of such extremes.
Personally I find that struggling OOC to understand someone makes it very easy to RP not understanding them IC. It also brings in what I think is a positive bit of realism to a game. Confusion and misunderstanding can lead to great RP.
