I've not logged in to the site, however a quick scan of the FAQ suggests it's a text based game, so shouldn't be too difficult to do. We used to have multi user text games back in the days where everyone used 2400 baud modems, so with modern technology you should have much more available to you.

I guess you need to build / buy / liberate a world / map engine and then create your world. Probably using a database back end to store the maps. Again characters would have to be stored, along with their health & current locations, perhaps also with a movement history.

Shouldn't be too difficult to do the basics, however building the world and making it intersting will be the difficult part.
