Popomundo is a browser game where the main aim is to become successful and famous in the world of music. But there are also other 'activities' you can pursue like catching criminals (or being a criminal), running a company, or starting a family. The roleplaying community is active, with helpful newbie guides and forums. What's very interesting is that the playerbase is made of people from all over the world, and you can really feel this if you 'travel' throughout the world and/or visit the different forums. Popomundo is free to play, though many more features are only available by paying to become a 'VIP' member (3 months for $9 at the least).
There's tons more info in the game and this thread. Feel free to introduce yourself and ask any questions!

Dragomir Rotiroti of Dubrovnik

Join the club! I've been fiddling with the "Mother" tasks, which help a bit, but I'm absolutely stuck on songwriting. I don't seem to be making any progress at all.
Unknown2007-12-05 05:49:44
I'm in the process of writing a song, I think.
Amarysse2007-12-05 05:50:48
So am I, but the progress bar hasn't moved at all. Meh.
Ildaudid2007-12-05 07:46:02
This is confusing I am in London, named Emile or some crazy name.
Emile Fumagalli
Emile is a 21-year-old guy who is not with an artist for the time being. Emile is hanging out at home with his mother in London.
And wow I suck:
Emile Fumagalli is a flirty person with terrible charm and terrible looks. Emile's brain department is of terrible IQ. Emile can deliver some terrible vocals and show off some terrible musical talents.
Wow!! If someone is in London later, hook me up I was gonna make a band thing but if there are more in London, may as well do a cool group.

You're terrible at everything when you start. I have no doubt you'll conquer the music world, given time!

Is that a lump in my breast? Perhaps it's cancer. I should go to the doctor to get it checked out before it's too late...
Mom's got cancer?!?!
Acrune2007-12-06 00:52:44
Hmm, neat. I took a job as a cleaner for $300 or $350 a week, and 8 minutes later I get a raise to $900.

If you check it out, feel free to message/friend me (name is Ron Villareal - you have to pick your character name from a predefined list depending which city you start it). I started out in Melbourne with an electronica act called Ozonolysis Hope to see some people there!
I couldn't figure out how to friend you, so I started stalking you instead.
Unknown2007-12-06 04:39:05
I just randomly chose to interact with someone in my area and looked at their diary and saw they were following me and was like WHOA and then noticed they were in a band called Captain Acrune
@Ild: Kaalak is in London too (he's Bradbury Garbarino, hope you don't mind giving away your name! But wow I notice you already made lots of relationships ) Maybe you three can form a ... classic electronic rock act?
And Amarysse, make sure your career priority is set to 'compose music'. Every few hours either your melody or lyrics will be improved.
Umm a few other tips... 'busking' will make your person some small cash, and salaries get paid every Friday morning. NPCs get paid the $300, but when players take up jobs, owners will usually up it to around $1000. Feel free to interact with random people in different locales, b/c apparently that's normal there and it's good for your mood To learn skills it's cheapest to find a teacher in the universities and interact with them until you can become apprentice/master. Oh and I don't recommend getting a pet early on... it's tough on the wallet and if you release your pet your character goes into depression *mutter* There's lots of more info in the forums/help documents but you can ask me questions too and I'll try to answer!
Lastly to add a friend, on the character profile page just choose 'Add to list' on the right menu bar. Duh.

"His mother is a famous media celebrity. Franko never went to school, but received daily lessons from his mother. He likes to read a good book. He dislikes loud and obnoxious people. Franko had a crush on his gym teacher in elementary school." This, children, is why random generators are bad.
Made one in London because Dubrovnik is barren (no, not that one). Don't tell them.
Keith Man
Gender: Male
Age: 22
History so far
His father is a well known business tycoon. Keith never went to school, but received daily lessons from his mother. He is somewhat obsessed with the opposite sex. He hates politics. Keith fondly remembers the days when he had a little puppy dog.

WTF, I bought Ildaudid a drink (I have no money, mind) and now he loves me? Eeeeeeasy.
Ildaudid2007-12-06 06:43:28
OMFG you are Kieth Man???
hahaha
I ran to my house when that guy was hittin on me.
I read their forums and saw how chicks were ending up preggers and stuff, warned veo to make sure she was chaste. The game is fun. Some chick wanted me to leave my door unlocked, I did, and she left me a rock book. woot. I have a song that sucks, my job gave me a raise to 850 and I am never there, and I don't know how to add people to my friends. But it is sooo much fun...
Veo contact me in game when you can, I am going for botany, and then gonna start dealing drugs, so I can kill zombies.
I noticed I could steal things off people. I was so tempted to snag a guitar and some house keys, but I haven't seen a book called basic theft
hahaha
