Thanks for the report on the game Stephan. I will admit I've known about this one for a while myself, it's been on the very good games to play online page which can be Found here on the whitestick.co.uk site and Che martin of Blind adrenalin was always a big fan of the game though to be honest I was never sure what exactly you did in it.

Your description makes it sound a little like torn city in terms of simulating a modern life with getting a job etc, plus learning from a university though obviously with a very different subject matter as compared to Torn's crime theme.

I'm not sure it's my personal thing, though it probably needs a db entry at some point, so I will likely check it out at one stage even if just for testing purposes.

Wow, this does really sounds interesting. However, I don't have the time to play such a complex game to simulate the real life. But sounds cool that the game is that accessible.
How does the music part works? So it have a fully accessible music composer?

It's a browser game as Stephan said originally and therefore I'd be highly surprised if it had sounds, your thinking of muds.

To be honest though I don't agree with your "just" comment. While the alteraeon soundpack is awsome, it does somewhat spoil people, and I can think of several fantastic games on browsers which are pure text, core exiles, puppet nightmares, Kingdom of loathing etc.

Well, the game still continue while you don't play it.
Le't have look on the character focus.
The focus is what the caracter does while you are not online. It receves updates, well I don't know how often, but you get 2 or 3 updates per day.
On focus you have 2 categories, spare time focus and career focus.
On  spare time focus, you can choose to go for a walk, party all night long, hanging out with your friends.
On the career focus you have options like  improve skill, compose music, go to university and so on. If you have some skills learned, you may unlock other career activities.
And everything what happens with your character, it appears in the character diary.
And your focus has a big influence on your caracter.
For example if you choose party all night long from the spare time focus, your mood and your quality star will increase a bit, but your health will go down.
Also, your career focus could give you some money, improve the skills that you learn, or gaining natural resources.
As I've said before,  in this game it depends on what you like to do.....
Sorry for my english, it's possible to have some mistakes during this post.

Well, the best way to release your songs is to have some concerts, and then you can create an album. Before making the album, your songs must be recorded in a studio first.
I've abandoned the musical career a year ago, and now I like enjoying the freedom on beeaches and so on... lol!

The music is the main part, but it doesn't mean that is the only one....
You can have a job as a fireman, or you can work in police.
You can make recipes, discover new things and so on....

Well, to move from a location to another, you should go to city page, and find there the option called locales.
There you should have 2 comboboxes. One with the list of locales types available in the city, and a locale with the zone.
Choose from this list what type of locale would you like to find, then press the search button.
After you do that, you'll have a table with the available places that you searched, and an option to move to this place.
To sign up to a class, you must be in an university, and choose a course from the list.
If you want to buy an apartment, you should go to the reale state agency. An apartment costs 700$

The drag and drop works fine. To be honest, you don't have to use it because you can choose the simpliffied interface from the setlist menu.
And BTW, at the interface settims you have  a check box called screen reader mode or something similar. If you activate it, the health bar, and all other elements in the game will be read properly.
I play this game for 4 years, and I never found accesibility issues.
The main problem was the reading of health and mood bar, when they switched from popmundo 1.0 to 2.0. But this problem was solved very quickly, and the developers were very interested to solve these minor issues.

Ok, ignore my previous question. But now I'm truly stumped.
I want to buy more sheet music but don't know where to get any from.

hi

i tried this game 2 years ago and didn't like it taht much at that time. i have created a new character and i like it right now. don't know how this could be. but i like the game.

hi omar,

before you can play music on stage you first should practice the basic skills for a instrument. i can't define the english names. but you can buy such a book in the general store. then you should use it from your items page so you'll read it. than you should get a notification in your diaryy. you can set your focus to practice skills and wait the updates.
you'll need a requirement of stars before you can practice a instrument like the elecic guitar. you can buy these in a music store. and the book for the electric guitar ou also can buy in a general tore.
you should also practice the skills for the instrument. and after that you can try to compose some songs. you also can pracctice this skill by buying the book composing for beginners. i guess you know right now where you can buy books. to practice the composing skills to make your songs even better.
when you have some songs under your belt you can put them in a program or something like taht at the band page.
and after that you can plan shows.

at least this is my strategy.

hth

Hey...
Back when I first started I noticed my character had a house or lived somewhere... I think I lived with my parents... Or something...
How can I make it back to this location?
