Back in his mortal days in 1992, when he and his friends bashed cityguards on Adversary Diku, Buckaroo conceived the idea of using a MUD interface for transactions on a BBS. The world would be split into two areas: the BBS area where everyone would be immortal and have access to upload and download functions, a virtual cafe, a virtual mall, and a recreational game area, which would be reminiscent of Diku.

So Buckaroo talked to some people, haggled with various companies, and formed Cyberverse, Inc. He hired Abaddon of Adversary Diku to code the foundations for his world and invited some of the Adversary admins to create and set up shop there. Work continued throughout 1993 and the company opened in Los Angeles in May 1994. There was much rejoicing.

The Internet started becoming popular a year later, and the company was reshaped as an Internet Service Provider. The MUD, no longer the main focus of the business, was renamed Ishar and opened freely to the Internet.

Later, in the middle of the dot-com bubble, someone with a lot of Monopoly money was trying to buy Cyberverse, and Ishar was officially handed over to Aaron Hopkins, who had been managing it for a few years, to make sure it wasn't included in any deal. It continued to run on Cyberverse's network, but the company no longer owns it or is involved in running it at all.

In 2022, Tyler and Eric created IsharMUD.com in the cloud to take advantage of new technology while doing their best to continually improve the environment!
