I think your criticisms are misplaced. In every MUD I've ever played (I've been MUDding for 11 years now), each new character is assumed to be an adventurer, and there is at least one large city with a healthy number of inhabitants representing each race. Such a place would have, out of necessity, developed a common language, and all adventurers in the region and citizens of said city would know it.

I believe what your trying to argue is that more MUDs should have races which are isolationist in nature and no large racially diverse population centers.

Why would I? Aside from the fact that I've only seen one or two Jordanians in passing at school, never been to Norway, and quite possibly have never had the pleasure of meeting an Ethiopian, the closest thing we have to a global de-facto common language is English.
