I've been doing some more research, and it looks like it changed name quite a long time before it moved over to AOL:

"In April of 1988, GemStone II went live on that service. GSII had a few problems though, so a few years later in February 1990 Simutronics released GemStone III. That makes GemStone III eleven years old."
-- Llearyn, producer of Gemstone III

However that still doesn't make it the longest running mud. Nanvaent opened to the public in September 1989, and is still running. DragonMud opened in december 1989, and is still running. MUD2 opened in 1985, and is still running. Federation opened in 1989, and is still running. Even if you count the original GemStoneI date of 1987, it's still two years younger than MUD2 (which in turn was developed from the 1978 "MUD1").
