by Rainier on Nov. 10, 2011 @ 11:48 a.m. PST

Margaritaville Online is free-to-play, with optional micro-transactions, set in an immersive 3D virtual tropical paradise featuring island exploration, exotic adventures and playful mini-games.

Margaritaville Online is an everyday escape to a tropical paradise inspired by the lifestyle of author and singer-songwriter, Jimmy Buffett.  Friends play and party in the islands in a stunningly immersive 3D virtual world filled with margaritas, music and adventure.  Live the island dream as you build your beach oasis and search for adventure in your own private tropical paradise.   Leave your cares behind as you serve up frozen concoctions to your friends from your very own island beach bar.  Explore lush islands, white sandy beaches and azure blue seas in search of forgotten treasure aboard your very own sailboat.  Play games, swap fish stories and share your tropical adventures with all your Facebook friends and fellow islanders. Welcome to Margaritaville!

It’s more than a game, it’s a lifestyle!

Live the island dream of creating your very own Margaritaville beach oasis.  One click of a mouse and you are transported to a tropical beach, where you can party in paradise with friends; soak in the warm sun, sway to the island music and blend your favorite tropical drinks. Build a bar, form a band and throw a party!  Even embark on tropical adventures in an open world full of carefree island entertainment and playful minigames. 

A select number of lucky players will join the "Buffett Beta Club" and experience the carefree, free-to-play paradise based on the lifestyle of legendary singer, songwriter and author Jimmy Buffett.

Buffett Beta Club members will have the chance to venture through Margaritaville Online in its current pre-release state, giving them access to play and party with great music and frozen concoctions. Additionally, those that join the exclusive club and provide their feedback will receive premium rewards, achievements and badges, along with a special treasure chest at the game's official launch.  

Players can join the party and clicking "Go to App" to see if space is available. Membership is limited, but new batches of aspiring Margaritaville Online players will periodically be admitted throughout the test period.
