Metroplis continues to charge full price for MajorMUD despite the demise of the BBS many speculate they continue to keep the price high because they are hoping to sell the MajorMUD intellectual property to a MMO company. As of March, 2011, the future of MajorMUD is still uncertain. On ApMetropolis Gameport shut down and sold all 7 of their Worldgroup BBS Game Servers. Metropolis promised to continue the work done by WCC in an e-mail that was sent to owners and others on the mailing list maintained by WCC. On May 25, 1999, WCC sold MajorMUD to Metropolis Gameport, a company based in Kansas. The game itself was written in C and compiled with Borland C++ as with all modules for Major BBS and Worldgroup. MajorMUD was officially released on November 4, 1994. Then on June 4 MajorMUD was released to twenty other MajorBBS Systems for Beta testing. MajorMUD went into Alpha testing on Nightline BBS on April 16, 1994. A total of 9 expansion modules, or 'mods', were released over a period of several years, each in kind for an additional fee to the system owner. Despite its significant price tag (nearly $1000 USD for a 256 user version), MajorMUD was noted by Logicom to be one of the most wildly popular packages to MajorBBS sysops. MajorMUD itself was initially offered as a separate game module for the MajorBBS. Prior to being called DreamScape it was called Nightline BBS, and from playing TeleArena and Lance not able to get reliable updates, Lance, Dog, Cat, and Orfeo decided to make their own game, along with all the users on Nightline for beta testers. It was also one of the few places that players could go to ask questions directly of the designers. Based in Canada, WCC ran a BBS called Dreamscape Online Entertainment Services (DSOE) that players and potential customers could use to try out their software. Collectively they were known as West Coast Creations, or WCC. MajorMUD was created by Lance & Cathy 'Dog' Neumann, Michael 'Cat' Skupa, Craig 'Morukai' Young, and Geoffrey 'Orfeo' Rosen in the early 1990s.
