The Elders are the people in Popomundo that have lifetime membership. These people were among the first 1000 players that joined Popomundo in its early stages. They were awarded the lifetime membership as a thank you from the devs for the initial help they gave in Popomundo development. Many of the Elders have deceased but if you search hard enough you will find the few addicted ones that remain. According to Kermit, roughly 60 of them are still alive.
