Everyone starts in Tortage and stays in Tortage until level 20. There are 2 modes you may play in Tortage single player mode (night time) and multiplayer mode. Watch your back in multiplayer mode and often camp spawn points in areas such as White Sands.

Starting off, shipwrecked to entering Tortage

In order to change between day mode (multi-player) to night mode (single-player) you must visit the Tina in the Thirsty Dog Inn. Select the first option TWICE (you know, the one that says Night Mode next to it). Telling her you don't want to wait there, or just saying goodbye, will NOT advance the game to night mode.

* When you come up on the island after the crash, 1 to 5 KILL EVERYTHING ON THE ISLAND that you can possibly kill. The more you are into level 5 when you go into tort the better off you will be.
