For the curious among you:
Most of the work so far has been creating a robust system that allows easy content editing and creation. The idea here is that each server can have its own unique game world; you join the server, start a buddy, and that buddy will live in a totally unique world, with different classes, zones, monsters, items, etc. than other servers. The goal is to have this content as easy as possible to add/edit without a lot of scripting knowledge, and let content creators put in special rules with relative ease (e.g. mages can't wear heavy armor, warriors can't use magic items like wands).
