How does the single player game segue into the massively multiplayer game?
For the first hour or so of a new character’s game life, the game is completely single player. During that experience you’ll eventually come to the town of Tortage, which has other players in it. While spending time in Tortage, you can sleep at an inn to switch “modes” between night and day. If you’re playing during the day in game time, you will be playing the multiplayer mode of the game. If you play during the night in game time, it is a single player experience. You can switch modes at any time by sleeping at the inn. Once you reach level twenty, you can leave Tortage and play in the rest of the world of Hyboria, which is completely massively multiplayer.
