You are presenting a hypothetical situation that is hardly the case in any MUD society of which I am aware. In all cases where multiple cultures have come into substantial contact, they have either developed a common language or used one of their languages as a standard.
A substantial language barrier in a MUD would only be plausible if characters rarely associated with individuals of a different race. Unless the majority of your characters stay cloistered within their racial homelands for the duration of their lives, they will know at least one language commonly spoken by all other socieities with which they have regular contact.
Straw man. There has yet to be substantial social contact between everyone on the earth.
