The emphasis of this game is on multiplayer competition, exploration in an open world, and solo adventuring. The game runs on a Minecraft like server system with a goal of about 50-100 players on a single server. The player characters are tied to the server where they are created, and are susceptible to permadeath: deletion of a character upon death. The servers are designed to allow a large amount of modification by the hosts. +Tortuga is a 2D multiplayer role playing game set in a large archipelago +occupied by warring pirate clans.
