there’s an lwjgl test version here:

If you ignore the GLARING HUGE BUGS because it’s a hacky test, it’s more stable. It doesn’t run at all for some (very few) people, and it seems to solve most ati problems.
Markus,
I tried Wurm out last night (the normal JOGL one, not the LWJGL test) and it’s really impressive.
It seems really “solid” (by which I mean the opposite of flakey). As a player, it inspired confidence in me; the install was painless; nothing inexplicable or illogical happened in the game; no user actions got ignored (it gives good feedback along the lines of “you can’t do such-and-such because of so-and-so”). It takes a while to work out what’s going on, but it isn’t at all frustrating.
On my PC (windows XP/Athlon 2500+/nVidia 6600) I’ve got it running at 800x600 with settings turned up quite high. It’s not blazingly fast but it looks very nice.
The OpenGL UI widgets are very slick too.
The only error I saw was an Exception dialog on startup - a NoSuchElementException while parsing the java.version system property; I’m running the original 1.5.0 (haven’t got round to getting the lastest Java 5.0 update 7 ot whatever it is now).
I’ll be signing up for the premium account (in spite of the extortionate monthly fee ;D)!
This is awesome news and an inspiration. Each time we have another success story on these forums it helps kindle the flames of hope and imagination.
Hope to have a chance to check out this version soon. Long live Wurm! Long live Markus & Team!
Congrats Markus! you are a model to follow for some of us 
your work is great
Thanks for the kind words. =)
Next on my schedule is to rewrite the awt html popups into opengl components. This is WAY overdue, but it’s not exactly a minor task.
Anyone want to volunteer to donate code and time? ;-D
Logged in again and i laughed my ass out when i entered the newtown bistro and saw the name of the chef…
