Have you ever wished for choosing a different path in your life? Have you ever wanted to be a rock legend? An erotic dancer? A professor at one of those top-notch universities? A cat burglar? Maybe your dream was to become a politician. Or a medical pioneer…

Good news is, with Popmundo and its side-game The Great Heist, sky is the limit.

“Popmundo is an online, multi lingual role-playing game and community, where you strive for fame in a virtual music industry.” At least, this is how they define themselves. But for its players, Popmundo is so much more. The text-based, realtime game met its first users in 2004 and throughout the years, the game reached thousands of players worldwide.

Now the question is… Why on earth Popmundo and its younger sibling The Great Heist is so popular?

1 – No boundaries

Popmundo provides you a unique platform, a world without boundaries. Although it is possible for you to do anything you’ve ever imagined, most of its players focus on music. Once you sign up and create your character, your journey of becoming a star begins. You start performing at local parks, small pubs… Then with the right skills and a little bit of ambition, you can aim the top! There is a wide range of musical genres, from Blues to Pop, Heavy Metal to Classical Music… You name it. Write your songs, record your albums, have your concerts, mingle with your groupies, throw after-parties… There’s nothing to stop you.

2- Who said games make you asocial?

Whoever said that, haven’t heard of Popmundo before. Apparently. *cough cough* Popmundo is one of the most social games online. All of its players are active users from all corners of the world and roleplaying is the essence of the whole thing. Besides, with its in-game and off-topic forums, social clubs, blogging opportunities and private messaging system, Popmundo establishes an excellent platform for blooming friendships.

3- Hunt season is open…

We are talking about achievement hunting of course. And zombies. Zombies are cool. Popmundo and The Great Heist offers you the chance of gaining many achievements, each and every one of them symbolizing a turning point for your precious puppets. Some achievements are a piece of cake… But some of those are only for the ones who likes to live dangerously. There are around 200 achievements waiting for you on Popmundo, and many more to come!

And yes… Beneath the ancient city of London, inside the long-forgotten catacombs, there lies a mystery… A mystery hungry for your brain. Ehm. Affirmative, sir. You can also hunt down zombies on Popmundo and gain some super achievements through that adventurous task!

4- The house with pink shutters

You are not into touring around the world, you don’t want to follow the traces of Atlantis, you don’t have a taste for hunting or you don’t like the idea of being a notorious criminal. Maybe settling down is the right option for you. You can get married, have kids and raise a wide family. Because, why not?

5- The more the merrier…
