Make Utopia Great Again
==Bio==
MUGA LLC is a company formed by two Utopia players, David Cannata and Jeff Mahan, that bought Utopia from Scale Front Limited in February 2017 with the intention of reviving the game.https://www.vice.com/en/article/evpwpj/utopia-online-game on 06/04/24 (They declined to say how much they paid for it.)
David and Jeff decided to save the game during a period in which they say the previous ownership let the game stagnate with only minor changes and updates.
Jeff said "It was disappointing to look at the last five or six years of the game's history as it changed owners and entered a maintenance mode where all they were doing was making small tweaks every age and letting the game slowly die rather than trying to rebuild it and help the community out," 
Following the purchase they worked to bring back former players with email campaigns and progressed the development of an app.
MUGA announced the return of the Genesis server in February 2018https://blog.utopia-game.com/post/171224070308/genesis-returns-almost on 07/04/24.

The Utopia app has been developed by Kagge, who is an unpaid volunteer. The utopia playerbase has expressed concern about the workload Kagge picks up to support the game without receiving remunerationhttps://discord.com/channels/398211456174260224/401802780483911691/1210486844559589418 on 08/04/24.
