Pretty cool game, Notch coded most of it before he moved on to minecraft and now someone else runs it. Just build stuff on a few massive servers with skills etc.
Epic server has been released now, 2x skill gain, custom kingdoms, server wide missions and a red dragon. It's free to play, but skills are capped at 20 (on Epic that means you can create 30ql items) and you can't go on any wild servers.
Pretty fun and addictive, been playing 2 years now. You can go to www.wurmonline.com to download it, the link is also somewhere on minecraft.net. Tell me your ingame names so I can make you some tools if I see you.
