New city available right now, São Paulo, Brazil.This will hopefully mean that the South American community will expand, since Buenos Aires now gets a neighbouring city.Edit: Now even in the community news:São Paolo & PortugeseIt's finally here!

Des Swink announced today the end of the legendary heavy metal group The Knights Who Say Ni!.TKWSN was one of the oldest bands in Popomundo history, with an unbeatable (?) 158 days at the top of the global Who's Winning? chart.The group was formed April 19, 2004 back in year 9, and stuck with it almost 12 Popo years.Their album "The Lost Chronicles of Ni!" is currently the most sold album so far

From the community news, displayed January 16:Underage Characters in Chat and ForumRecently there's been some hot debates whether underage characters should be allowed into the chat or not.

Last few weeks there have been a lot of new features implemented into Popomundo.The most important of these are currently the new skills and books. Loads of new instrument skills has appeared, which most people has asked for a longer time. However, the Devs split the generic Guitar skill to one Acoustic and one Electric skill, transferring all skill points on the generic skill to the Acoustic. Of

This week It's Pop was disturbingly thin, especially since a lot of things have happened the last week. The editors say that it is not their highest priority, which of course makes everyone wondering if there shouldn't be more (or other) editors in the future.Anyway, Travis Krauser continues with his irregular publication Not Just Pop with those of his(?) articles that didn't get through the

I were wrong. Berlin is the newest city in Popomundo.But will this mean that it will take longer for the next European city to enter the Popomundo realm? I don't think so, it is still just a question of availability of translations.

If you are using Firefox when playing Popomundo, Popomundo tools will make your life a lot easier!Made by Defoe Masters, it is representing numbers graphically instead of in plain text, which makes it much quicker to accomplish certain tasks, as knowing how many tickets a particular show has sold, and update it.While mostly used by club CEO:s, it has advantages for the usual player also.

The latest community news.Displayed October 22:Shows and Character MovementWhenever you go on stage from now on you'll be Occupied. Being occupied means that you can't move anywhere else or be interrupted by travels and other things of lesser importance.While this does the game easier, it is still a good addition. Noone would ever leave their stage to do anything else, so it gets more realistic

As earlier reported, bus terminals is on its way. And now it seems as even more things could be added to the transportation market.In the forums, Crystal posted about the new Car Dealer so it looks as it will be possible to both travel by bus or by car to (nearby?) cities. Or is it used to travel between cities? The distances between the North American cities are big, and to travel from Los

When you are new to Popomundo, you are absolutely poor. No money, just jeans and a Popomundo t-shirt on you.And there is lots of nice clothes out there, and really expensive books that will give you skills that will be needed to compete to the top.So how to get money? Get a job. In all cities there is a shortage of workers. Via the in-game magazine It's Pop you can find good paying jobs. Don't

From the community news, displayed at Oct 14:Costs and durations of flights tweakedWe've updated the system which calculates flight times and costs. Although the new system is more accurate than the old it's not supposed to be totally realistic.

Yeah, remember who told you first. I believe it won't take long before an Italian city is implemented in the game, and then it either must be Rome or Milan. Rome for it's the capital, and for its history, Milan because it is the "modern capital" of Italy.But why Italy? Well, a translation has been ongoing for quite some time, and the users doing this should be finished soon. Also, italian is

Lots of security firms have been going on the auction the last weeks, and many are still changing owners. I haven't thought about it, but yesterday a friend told me a very good reason: The ban of consecutive gigs in the same city on the same day!When the security firms arrived as a way to cut profits at the clubs, it was standard for bigger bands to play two or even more gigs in the same city, to

Two days ago, something new entered the Popomundo world: bus terminals. What they will be used to, noone outside the developer sphere knows yet. Yes, there will be some kind of transportation system, but how?Will it be inside the city, will it be between cities on the same continent, and if that's the case, why does Melbourne has one?I guess we get answers to those questions sometime, but

So, what is this blog for? I have a plan to post gossip, development news, and my thoughts about Popomundo here.Why not on the forum?This is simpler. It will be easier to find, in won't fall into the hidden deeps as quick as stuff on the forum does. Also, it will be more on-topic. Of course, here I can behave like I want, not having to obey the rules of the Popomundo gods!

So, the rumour currently spread on the forum is that Michael Hopper's stolen bullet proof vest has been sold by the original thief.After some bidding, price finalized at $3,500,000; which means that some crimes in Popomundo pays a lot.Last time something like this happened, was when forementioned Hopper bought a health-restoring potion previously stolen by infamous thief Sylvester Greer.Update:
