I thought this was a different Valhalla. I've got the following references:
January 1992. Valhalla, an lpmud, becomes self-supporting by charging
players money. Though Lars granted Valhalla permission to do so, the
controversy arose over whether Lars had that right, given to the number of
authors who had contributed to LPMud. (Lauren Burka's MUDLine)
1994: Work begins on Diku II, also called VME for Valhalla Mud Engine. It
now includes a fully embedded scripting system called DIL. (This list).
April 1995. Valhalla, an lpmud, requests monetary donations from players
instead of charging for access. (Lauren Burka's MUDLine)
Based on your post, I think there's some confusion to clear up. Can you
clear it up? :)
