How long will the single-player experience last?
Only the first hour or so of the game is completely single player. Once you reach the village of Tortage, you’ll be able to quest and interact with other players, or you can switch to the single player quests and stories. Once you’ve finished the Tortage story arc, you will head for the mainland, and from there on, you will be in the standard massively multiplayer environment.

You can switch between day and night by sleeping at the inn, and during day you will always be with other players, while during the night you will be all alone. At level twenty you leave Tortage island and head for the mainland, and from there on you will always be in a massively multiplayer environment.
