Popmundo is a massively multiplayer online game (MMOG) music game without sound still it has been able to capture the hearths of more than 240000 people around the globe. So you may ask what is it that has made Popomundo so successful so far, I would say the key to the success is in the language, in the fact that the game keep expanding by having the gamers help translating Popmundo into their native tongue and then when their translation is done it would make a new city appear, which to this date counts for cities 46 in 37 countries also when there is a high enough base of players from one Nation there appears new cities, one example of this is Turkey, with currently 3 popmundian cities, and a lager player base than any other nation of the world, another is the USA with 4 cities.

But enough about popmundian geography, this game is about music at it's core and with a wide array of other possibilities for the player based world, everything from company management, politics, marriage, family building by making babies, zombie hunting, crime, to police work, judgement and law enforcement for the VIP members to the free core part of touring the world as a band, busking on the street for money or just enjoy the thrill of teaching your favorite skills at the local university.

Popmundo give each player the possibility to learn hundreds of skills, some of them only to be used on stage like your favorite musical instrument and genre skill and others for interaction or day job career at the local school or hospital. One could even cure diseases that constantly troubles the traveling artists. Other than the player controlled populations one have the mysterious Jane and John Doe's which fill up the work that the players doesn't have, the Does are not player run but controlled by the game mechanics, though they could be influenced by the actions of the governments, local health and environmental conditions from low quality buildings or too many factories.

I have myself played this game for more than 1150 days and still there are more to learn since the game is still evolving changing and growing to accompaniment the games current 237995 real life players. Were I am just one of so many that has fallen in love with this world. If you are not already here trying to find your way in Popmundo, give it a try, like so many others.
