Undid revision 1109502951 by Pete Best Beatles (talk) This paragraph is probably in the wrong section/article. The section is about the history of MUDs, not about the history of metaverse. I believe it would be best to move this paragraph to the article about metaverse. If there is any disagreement it would be best to discuss about it in the Talk page. For the time being I'm reverting the change. Thanks

The MUD was officially launched in 1989.{{R|bartle-mudreport3}} ''Federation II'' was later picked up by AOL, where it became known simply as ''Federation: Adult Space Fantasy''. ''Federation'' later left AOL to run on its own after AOL began offering unlimited service.
