A loooong time ago I vaguely recall players of certain races (elf, drow, dwarf?) being able to speak in native tongue where only others of that race could understand them. Is that still possible or am I thinking of another mud?

You're thinking of another mud.
Either way, I've suggested this multiple times. I think it would be a fantastic addition to RP.

Maybe with a larger playerbase.
Actually I think it would be amazing no matter the size. It would make comprehend languages more viable. You could choose upon creation whether you only wish to be able to speak one or the other. If you choose your Racial language only those of the same race may understand you unless you have comprehend languages and even if you don't have your racial language you can still understand it because perhaps someone in your family spoke it long ago thus you know what they're saying but perhaps not quite be able to speak it yourself. I think it'd add to the games RP. I wouldn't say it would be high priority but it would be interesting considering in the Sea Elven Cay they speak another language but if you're an Elf or have Comprehend Languages up you'll understand it. I like that touch to it.
I don't see how anything that deters communication would be beneficial for RP.
Although I would love to hear Grim's opinion on this matter. After all, he did try to bring a real drow into Aabahran with Wurous.
If this was implemented, I think it would be best for coomon to be universal (since every culture has contact with the outside world). Their racial language would be at 100%, and common at 75% so as not to impede communication, but still allow for priveledges conversations.

I was about to say the same thing.
I tossed this idea out YEARS ago. Why else does comprehend language exist? I think it would be fantastic fun to be able to have private conversation. I think it would be even more awesome to slowly piece together another language. Like how we all know sausabru is poison, and yucandusbar (sp) is fireball etc. I think it would be scwheeet
Comprehend language is quite useful if you don't know what spell your opponent is casting. Is that DK trying to land a curse or a plague? I don't have a clue. You may have knowledge of what they all are but I sure don't. I think sleep has a 'z' in it.

I bet that makes you feel a little better inside.

Each cabal could have their own language too. Nexus - demon, Savant - Arcanus, Tribunal - Doubespeak, Syndicate - Code, Watcher - Hippie, Herald - Highbrow, Etc. Haven't really thought it through.

Would certainly tone a certain Syndi skill
Volgs idea is definitely full of promise.
Isn't mine, it's been brought up by several people before. I just happen to like it.
