Merc 1.0 here.

MercMUD 2.1 comes in here, as well as CircleMUD 2.00 (July 16, 1993 is the
initial public release, although, Jeremy Elson, its creator, had run it
prior to that time [on a machine named 'circle', hence the name]).
SillyMUD, a lesser known Diku-derivative, appears to come in here.

CircleMUD 3.0 appears (its in beta under active development to this day).
Work on Valhalla Mud Engine (VME/DikuII) apparently starts here, although
I can't say for certain (better to ask Michael Seifert <seifert @
valhalla.com>).
