What is Reddit's opinion of
Toontown Rewritten?
From 3.5 billion Reddit comments
100 reviews of this app found across Reddit:
Toontown was dropped by Disney and picked back up by some lovely developers who volunteered to maintain the game. It is now called Toontown Rewritten and is 100% f2p.
It's a real game! They also have Toontown Rewritten, a remake of Pirates of the Carribbean Online, and VMK with working minigames. Honestly Disney really messed up considering the huge demand for these games almost a decade later
There are multiple fanmade versions of the game that are out. I reccomend Toontown Rewritten for an experience similar to the original, and if you wanna spice things up Corporate Clash is also a great option.
Theres two, and this one doesnt have any play time bull crap http://www.piratesonline.us/index.php
For my fellow Toons, there is also https://www.toontownrewritten.com/
These two are my favorite games as a kid, so Im really happy they are revived.
Hi! I'm Toontown Rewritten's lead programmer. I'm glad you like our game!
We're just getting back from an in-person event where we announced that we're (finally!) releasing an update this month that completes the last pair of original features (Toon Parties and Grand Prix) and adds two new Toon species chosen by our players (Deer and Crocodile.)
I'd encourage anyone who is interested to try our game. Toontown Rewritten is completely free and the community is friendly! Additionally, if anybody here is talented and wants to help us, consider sending in an application. We usually look for active players for most positions. Finally, if anybody has any questions, I'm always around to answer them!
Another game of Disney, Toontown Online, shut down in 2013 so they could focus more on Club Penguin and mobile apps. The game stopped receiving any updates or support for years so it just sort of plateaued.
But because of how strong it remained in people's childhood, some dedicated kids set up a really polished free revival called Toontown Rewritten.
They even remade the trailer: https://youtu.be/liqNk78_6wk
Well, it's a kid's MMO but it's one of my childhood favorites.
Toontown
Disney shut the game down (for reasons still unknown) and some fans made "Toontown Rewritten". I can't explain it that well so here's a link.
For anybody interested, there is a Fan-server called Toontown Rewritten , having almost all the features of the original and being completly for free. They also want to continue the development where disney stopped!

There's still now a strong community going after some really dedicated players set up a really polished revival called Toontown Rewritten.

Thanks so much, you guys! I was completely caught off guard by this thread -- especially as most of the work that I'm doing right now is completely unseen, planning for the convention.
I want to use this platform to turn the appreciation around to the rest of the team: Especially all of those who have been working so hard and so diligently to prepare our content for ToonFest. I am by no means the only person working on Toontown Rewritten, and there are so many other people who put just as much work into the game as I do and often times more. It takes a village to make this town the way it's supposed to be.
There are many unsung heroes of the Toontown Team, and I wouldn't be doing my job if I let them go without appreciation as well! Thank you all for supporting us; threads like this make our hearts soar to know that our hard work is paying off.
Some may say that our content output is slow, but one thing I can promise you is that you'll never see something in Toontown Rewritten that doesn't give off the authentic Toontown charm.
PS: I can't believe that you remember my Cleff accent screwup after all of these years, Mike! But hey, I made things right last year with the addition of Cleff at ToonFest, including his proper accent.

You will have to restart your account, since there's no way to transfer your old account to the new Toontown.
I love Toontown Rewritten, since it is fan made and not for profit all the features you normally had to pay for with real life money are free. It's awesome!
They're not really legal, and they're closed-source mainly to stop people constantly trying to make new servers, as well as stop people from making their own servers that could contain viruses and such. Toontown Rewritten was hacked back in 2014 and had its source code leaked, hence why pretty much all other servers exist. Rewritten would probably be the only server around if it wasn't for that leak.
Also, I'm unsure about Pirates, but Toontown Rewritten are hiring! Please keep into consideration that this is voluntary work, meaning you won't get paid. No-one on the team gets paid for their work, and the server is paid for out of pocket by staff working paid jobs.
When people ask "How to?" as a question are they joking?
https://www.toontownrewritten.com/about
>How do I get one of these coveted beta keys? You'll need a moose, seven golden locks, and about three gallons of lard. Orrrr you can obtain a key through all sorts of contests and giveaways that we host right here on our website! Stay updated with our news posts for information on it. Also, if you have a friend who has a beta key, they can complete in-game ToonTasks to earn a beta key to give to their friend. (The friend being you!)
No, the database wasn't compromised. On that note, all passwords are hashed in the database and can't be retrieved even if somebody somehow gained access to it. Hashing is a one-way function that's practically impossible to be reversed - you can read more about hash functions here.
He's likely just brute forcing the accounts. Though, if you're still concerned about your account's safety, here's some ways to beef up security:
- You've probably heard this a million times, but don't share your password with anybody - including the Toontown Rewritten staff.
- Install and regularly update an antivirus program (and anti-malware). Make sure you scan pretty often, too! While you don't have to scan every day, at least once a week should be good.
- Don't accept random files from people you don't know (especially executables!)... or even people you do know if they aren't trustworthy. Generally, stay away from the obviously fake things such as a "free jellybean generator".
- Don't use the same password for multiple websites or services. We can't guarantee that they're storing their passwords safely - so if their database is leaked, your password will be leaked as well.
- Turn on two-factor authentication for your Toontown Rewritten account here
Another thing to note is that if your account is compromised, you're always welcome to shoot us a message at - we can help you get your Toons back if they're deleted.
For anyone wondering how I am still able to play, there is a team working on a free and awesome community revival of Toontown called Toontown Rewritten. You can check it out here: www.toontownrewritten.com
TTR had over 5,000 players at one point in 2015. Truly was a great time.
Hopefully when Sellbot Field Offices finally release, the population will start to increase again. Unfortunately we won't see over 5,000 players for awhile unless TTR starts releasing many more updates.
No matter what happens, there will always be a way of playing pretty much every modern video game ever released.
Whether that way is actually legal or sanctioned by the developers is another question though. But emulation and piracy will always mean there is at least some way of playing these games far into the future - at least for single player stuff. Online multiplayer is more tricky, but even then if there's enough interest there will be enterprising fans who will still find a way - look at how various old MMOs have been resurrected - Toontown Online and Star Wars Galaxies for example.
Steam probably won't be around forever, and as much as people like continue to state that rumour from the early days of Steam that Valve would suddenly release a service update that unlocks the DRM for every game on there from the goodness of their hearts, the fact is the huge expansion of the service and the complex licensing agreements Valve have with hundreds of developers means it's virtually impossible to do so today - if that statement was even true in the first place.
But regardless of that - it doesn't matter. Because let's face it, on the internet you're always only a search term away from grabbing a "DRM free" copy of the game from less-then-legal places. And if Valve doesn't release some system wide DRM unlock for the service once it shuts down, someone will do it for them. That's just how the internet works.
This is bad news. TTH did the exact same thing when they tried to do their open alpha.
PSA: TTI IS UNINTENTIONALLY CAPTURING YOUR PASSWORD WHEN YOU LOGIN
When the TTI launcher requests authentication credentials, it asks the page https://toontowninfinite.com/api/login/?u=jjkoletar&password=password&dist=test. When this request is handled by the TTI HTTP server, the URL is logged in an access log, which will include your plaintext password.
The correct, safe way to perform such an action is to provide the username and password as formdata, in an HTTP POST, which TTR does. When you login to TTR, the URL is: https://www.toontownrewritten.com/api/login?format=json. Your username and password don't get logged, because they're not provided in the URL.
Here's a snippet of TTR access logs: http://puu.sh/acAFV/915e20026c.png TTI access logs would include your username and password in plain text. Even if TTI's host claims that they are not retaining access logs, it is irresponsible to continue sending plaintext credentials over HTTP GET.
If any TTI devs would like to consult with me, I'd be happy to offer assistance.
Edit: The implication of this to users is that any password you entered into the TTI launcher can no longer be secure. It is safe to login as long as you are using a junk password.
Depends on where you downloaded it, I'm almost certain tons of shady sites are giving out fake Rewritten downloads.
Ok. First off, just wow. This is beautiful! I mean... I think you are an astounding artist! I'm sure the Rewritten team would love having you aboard if you're willing to Apply. u/SleepyMaya (aka Slate Blue Rabbit) and u/Roger_dog (aka Roger dog) are lead artists on the team and I'm positive they'd love seeing how well you've captured the aesthetics of Toontown.
If you feel like joining, try hopping on their website at https://www.toontownrewritten.com/help/apply and then sending an application to their email at .
Yup!

It was an amazing trip down memory lane for me from when I was a little kid. The whole thing is really well made, and I rather like that the devs of it are trying to continue it in their own way.
> No Executive Office, no Doodles, no TT Retextured, no renovated website, no Secret Friends, etc. Not even any tiny miscellaneous features to at least say they've implemented something.
As much as I'd like to say that what you're saying is absolutely true, there's some things you need to keep in mind of.
- 1. They're not releasing true friends as they've mentioned before in one livestream due to moderation issues.
- 2. I believe Joey said they're close to finishing up doodles but they still need to find a way to make sure doodles do not cause such a ruckus like it did in TTO with all that lag.
- 3. Toontown Retextured is one of those big projects they've started that takes up an extreme amount of time. However, they should probably stop focusing on their projects if they want to release all of the original core features from TTO first.
As for the new website and the Executive Office Tower? Unfortunately they delayed the release of the new website simply because they keep adding onto it and changing it up. And I honestly wish the storyline would continue so that the Executive Office Tower and Operation: Duck Hunt will finally come, but they've been slacking down on that as well. Not sure what is holding them up for any of this really.
Lo and behold, they've made this blog post analyzing their plan for 2017. Only time will tell if they'll truly keep to their word. I'm bored of this game as well.
>EVERYTHING is now bannable.
According to the Terms of Service, everything is allowed to be used as grounds for account termination. You agreed to these Terms when you signed up to play.
> Toontown Rewritten and its staff may, at their discretion, terminate your access to our services at any time for any reason.
The moderation team's job is to ensure that the game is safe and fun for the community as a whole. If they see anybody causing trouble for any reason, they will take whatever action they deem necessary to protect the game and its community.
I'm sorry if the rules are too strict for your liking. But don't forget that you're under no obligation to play Toontown Rewritten, so you are free to spend your time elsewhere.
> Can you really get banned for saying “You Stink!”? It’s a SpeedChat phrase, so how can it be bad?
> Rest assured, you cannot be banned for saying “You stink!” -- however, you can be banned for harassment. Using any phrase to harass another Toon (That is, following them around or continuing to bother them after they’ve asked you to stop) can result in an infraction. We’re all humans behind the Toon, so please be friendly to one another!
They did indeed finish The Rerigged 2.0 project about 3 years ago. (as seen here )
They just recently used Rerigged 2.0 to create the Spotlight Search animations and they're using them as well for the Ice Game minigame in the Sellbot Field Offices Update.
Welcome back! Just in time for the real life ToonFest that's happening this Friday! Keep an ear out for stuff being revealed on Saturday! :D
Love both games and still play both. Toontown is a lot farther along of course, but the Asheron's Call emulator has made tons of progress since the shutdown. It was my first MMO and still my favorite game ever.
I'd like to take the chance and say the new drawings at this blog post were mainly made by our brand designer June. They were made with vector tools only, in Adobe Photoshop. If you are familiar with these tools, think you can make vector art that will match that drawing and shading style, and interested in volunteering to help Toontown Rewritten - please check out the brand designer application! https://www.toontownrewritten.com/help/apply
I don't believe we touched the textures from what they are on TTO. We are recreating every texture to make it HD. Project Toontown Retextured! https://www.toontownrewritten.com/news/item/191/backstage-toontown-retextured
https://www.toontownrewritten.com/ Riding this post to make sure any interested knows that toontown is alive and well under Toontown Rewritten! Very fun game, and they're slowly adding old and new things each month.
My Toon was deleted! Can I get it back? Before we can work on restoring your Toon, we're going to need the following information: Account Name: Toon Name: Toon Description: Reason for Deletion: When was the toon deleted? Did you have ToonGuard or Two-Factor Authentication on when the toon was deleted?
Our support team will verify the information you sent as soon as possible. You can continue to play on your account while you wait. Please make sure that you have one spot open for the Toon that you want to restore, otherwise we won't be able to bring back your Toon!
NOTE: Accounts who disable ToonGuard AND Two-Factor Authentication are not eligible for deleted Toon restoration, regardless of if the Toon was deleted by the account owner or not. If you use one or the other you are not subject to this restriction, however. Requests for Toons deleted more than 90 days prior to the request being received will not be honored at this time. This policy has been updated effective 11/16/2017. If you have previously asked to have a toon restored that was older than 30 days but less than 90 days old at the time, and your request was rejected, please email us again and include enough information as possible about that attempt!!
See FAQ on the website.
It IS possible.
Right you are! The entire plot of the Crash Cashbot video was based on an idea I had a long time ago, which we used a version of for the finding of CBHQ in a blog post.
https://www.toontownrewritten.com/news/item/164/a-cashbot-catastrophe
I've always loved the visual of the jolly trolley racing through Cashbot HQ with those gigantic trains, so it was a dream come true to put this video together and see how it plays out. The end of the video gets even better!
I think this is a blog post posted 1 year late, considering around this time last year, an update almost exactly the same as this was released, which included new music, Make-A-Toon improvements, performance enhancements, etc. Also in the url you can see the number 346, while the new ones are in the 410s in numbers, but there is a blog post missing from around June 4,2016 that would've had the exact same number. (Would've been in the middle of these two: https://www.toontownrewritten.com/news/item/345/rhymes-for-toontowns-time https://www.toontownrewritten.com/news/item/347/stay-updated-with-omgcon )
Yup, that's it exactly! Rerigged (along with Rerigged 2.0) was a prerequisite for being able to both modify and add new animation. The original files have been locked as Bam files for the longest time. What we did was both create a new rig (for creating new animation), AND port all 1000+ animation bam files to that rig in Maya (to edit existing animation). This means that not only are we able to tweak existing animation, but it can now be preserved forever, even if the Bams no longer work anymore. You can read more details about the whos, whats, and whys here on our backstage post about it.
There's a lot of little things under the hood this project enhanced that are internal. But suffice it to say, it greatly enhances our ability/capacity for both future content (as you will see at Toonfest) and our ability to enhance/improve existing content (such as Retextured).
It's thank to these new tools that more than ever, we are looking for new people who can finally help us out with character rigs, animation, modeling, and texture art. Before we needed people with a huge overhead of technical experience, but more and more our technical artists (myself included) are working to allow our artists, both new and old, to do more with less!
Hey there! Welcome to the Toontown Community. As you may know, this community is a reboot of the original game: Disney's Toontown Online. Unlike having one original game, there are multiple servers that host a different version of Toontown.
Toontown Rewritten stays to the idea of staying original to the true Disney game while also making tweaks that enhance the game even more. Their server is the most populated. Read more about the server here:
https://www.toontownrewritten.com/
Toontown Infinite is another server. Their goal is to break away from the original game and continue to innovate providing new updates. This is the second most well known server. Read more about their server here:
https://toontowninfinite.com/
There are other servers like Toontown Apex and random servers that people made. You should go check them out and see what they're all about. Anyways, welcome to the community!
I didn't say that they prevent brute forcing - I gave them as general security tips.
Though, two-factor authentication does help protect against brute forcing because even in the event that they're able to get your password, they're unable to log in to your account due to needing a code that you can only get from your smartphone. The code changes every 30 seconds as well. That's where the account activity page comes in - if you notice an unusual location signing into your account but being unable to get past two-factor authentication, that's a sign that you should probably change your password.
Cattleogs are coming this week, too!
> The 6 hour sessions and doubled slot limits are sticking around, and it's now easier than ever to get into Toontown. My heart goes out to those of you who stuck with us during those 300 hour PlayLine waits, but no longer will you need to be leaving your computer on overnight to get in game. The average PlayLine wait time seems to be somewhere around 3 hours, and you'll get to enjoy the game twice as long by continuing to play with your Quadrupled Access. > > Oh, and by the way: If any of you new Toons are looking for a job around town, I've heard that Clarabelle Cow is going to be needing a lot of deliveries this week.
Hey /u/Giraffestock
Toontown Rewritten is a team that want to restore Toontown for everyone to play together, while also adding to it and creating new content.
Recently, they just finished up an election for the new President of the Toon Council. This is mostly just story for the game, but they introduced some of the greatest game play that Toontown has seen in years. If you want to check out the election's livestream, here is the link. Go to 1:00:00 for the start of the election and about 3:00:00 for the end of the election.
To answer your questions: The game will be free and they do not accept donations of any kind. The mechanics of the game are going to be exactly the same as they were in Toontown.
If you want more information about TTR, they have lots of updates you can read over at The Official Toontown Rewritten Website. I also do a reading of the updates when they come out, if you don't have the time to constantly check the website to see if there is a new post or not. My channel is here if you want to just listen along whenever a new update comes out.
If you have any further questions, you can PM me and I'll be more than happy to inform you about anything :)
Your theory is more likely than you think.
If you've been playing for a long time, you may remember that back in Alpha, there was a presidential election between Flippy and Slappy. Slappy won the election, but was taken prisoner by the cogs, forcing Flippy to stand-in as president. The lore of TTR basically states that this all happened in TTO as well, but we are in a "rewritten" version of that timeline, created by Doctor Surlee travelling back in time from 2013 in an attempt to save Slappy.
Now, the reason I'm telling you this is because during Slappy's presidential campaign, he actually spoke about his plans for a new playground, which he was going to build if he got elected.
> I've been putting some thought into it lately. One thing that I've really wanted to see is a home for the black and white toons of the Tooniverse. I'm not talking about Polar Bears or Black Cats, but our ancestors who brought us to where we are today. They never get any credit anymore, you know? Time has made them forgotten, and that just isn't right. Toontown should be a place for everyone! I definitely want to open a new Playground for those guys and gals.
This is basically what Funny Farm was going to be. Obviously the reason it was cut from TTO is because of developer time constraint, but I think the TTR team has done something really clever here and created a canon reason for Funny Farm never getting created - because the duck who wanted to build it was taken prisoner.
So in short, I agree. I reckon Slappy is going to build that playground after we save him.
Interesting post! As always, take these things with a grain of salt, but if real it provides some cool insight into the innerworkings of Disney. I think it's also worth mentioning that in the two years since this post was made, Toontown Rewritten's moderation has improved tenfold (And it wasn't too shabby back then either -- from the beginning, child safety has been our top priority, however as with anything we've improved with experience and better systems that even Disney didn't have in place).
Regarding Jesse Schell and the future of Toontown, this seems like a good time to plug this new section of our website that goes into some detail about how we can try to guarantee Toontown's future. If you want Toontown to come back officially, tell them! Every single letter counts. We want to constantly remind Disney that we want Toontown to come back and we're willing to pay for it, so that it's in the back of someone's mind when the timing is right.
Not still up from disney, no. There are several servers. If you would want one like the old one with a few improvements you should play Toontown Rewritten. If you want to play ones with a few more changes you could play the other servers, Project Altis, and Operation: Dessert Storm, I dont have their links though. There are a few ones to play on private servers such as Toontowns Funny Farm and Toontown Offline.
The Toon Name Guidelines are listed over here, and unfortunately I think that I can see why your name was rejected. I understand it's frustrating that you can't get your Toontown Online name, but the reason our moderation team is so strict on name rules is to maintain consistency.
While you may think that the Toontown Online team was better at name approval, at a lot of times they were very inconsistent which caused frustration from players. We want to avoid that. We bend our rules in the first place to allow some Toontown Online names through that may not have necessarily made it (see: the pun names), but we can't do that for every situation.
"Once Upon A Time" just simply isn't a name. And as corny as it sounds, the way to bend that rule would be to turn it into a name along the lines of "Oncepon A. Time". This doesn't mean that we can't change our name guidelines, but while the rule is in place, we need to stay consistent with it to be fair to all players.
First of all, TTR has had many mega invasions, the most recent one being a mega Cold Caller invasion. Second of all, pretty sure the calendar in the book is still the same as TTO and is not updated with TTR. Third of all, why the heck are you back in 1992?
I addressed this here, and there's also a blog post about it here -- we've been slacking on some of our promises, and we have a goal to fulfill every single one of them before we move on. If you look at that blog post, we've actually hit our plan so far and even gotten a little bit ahead of schedule.
Just hang in there. We're working to fix things up, but it takes time!
While this doesn't make it legal, the creator and lead developer of the original Disney's Toontown Online support this fan project and have spoke at their yearly ToonFest. There are 1.9 million registered accounts on TTR, I highly doubt that Disney doesn't know about it. They are just letting it slide because the team behind TTR commits to never making money off of it and funding it all out of pocket.
The old surprise animation from Toontown Online was actually a few frames of the "conked" animation that Toons play when hit by a Cog. We added our version based on the 2003 commercial as a demonstration of Toontown Rerigged!
Depending how young they are, toontown (rewritten) would be a good choice
https://www.toontownrewritten.com/
even for adults who just want a casual/friendly/family atmosphere its pretty decent. Since OP didnt state kids age, I don't think Trove or GW2 be good choices IF they are really young.
Trove I've seen people post a lot of adult language and its kinda more a "mature" game from what I've seen in chat...though still friendlier than most, just better for teens than if OP has young kids.
>OH wait! I just realized something maxed gardeners would love about it. If the flora recovers quickly, like every 2 hours, then you could get MULTIPLE lvl 7 gags in the day for FREE. That's actually a really nice bonus from it.
Huh, I never thought about that, great point! I'd say with that revelation I would move the garden boost out of the niche category.
>For the Overheal OverJoyed buff, maybe instead of a flat rate of 8 laff, it could vary depending on the Toon's laff. Giving perhaps a bonus of 20% in relation to their max laff (rounded down).
I thought about that, but then it provides very little boost at all to newer toons and an absurd boost to later game toons that will make the game way easier than it is, and it still doesn't fix the Uber problem. I'm still for scrapping it.
>I just wanna inform you though that with the exp buffs from Toonfest, the max exp did increase as well to 600 when in use, so it may do that as well for the gag that wins.
Good to know. But I agree with you, these teams would still be niche without the added organic bonus.
>You're right about Global Teleport being useless to higher toons, so I feel this should honestly be grouped in with the Jellybean boost.
I feel like the jellybean boost is a perfectly fine group that appeals to toons that are newer or aren't specifically training anything, and I think giving it the teleport boost would make it a bit too popular. But hey, you never know until the TTR team starts testing them out!
Are you talking about ToonTown? I think it was made by Disney actually. There's also a relaunched f2p version of it, it's not officially run by Disney anymore though.
>Toontown Rewritten provides a free online game intended to be accessible to the entire family. Toontown Rewritten and its staff may, at their discretion, terminate your access to our services at any time for any reason. Examples of behavior that is not allowed includes, but is not limited to:

Welcome to Toontown Rewritten!
I'm not sure about the option of moving your toon with the mouse, but we do look at all suggestions and improve things with time. There is a limit of how far you can get with the way the game was originally built, so not everything is possible, but we do improve things we can, if they are not hurting the feeling of the game in general (a lot of the players like the nostalgia feeling).
We are also working on an HD option for the far future to improve the graphics (here is a sneak peak if you wanna check: https://www.toontownrewritten.com/news/item/191/backstage-toontown-retextured), though this will take a long time to finish. :P
As for taking more tasks while at TTC, this playground is really quick to finish as is, and I assume that's why disney didn't have this option so soon in first place.
The meaning on TTR is to keep the game style as close to the original as possible, but do improve the gameplay to match it into the current year we live in, as well as adding new content. So it's pretty much the same toontown, but just a version of toontown that gets updated, and that includes technical things as well (such as wide screen support for example). So it's not "as old school as possible", but more like a balance between keeping the game as we know it, and still matching it to 2016. This is what we assume would happen in the original game if it wouldn't close.
I've known that they did the New Years Top Toons in the beginning of 2015. I think something like that should happen again!
Actually, we know where the fish go, as it was mentioned in an old TTR blog post (Alpha)
It mentions:
>Alright, so all of those fish you have been catching the past few days? Normally they go straight to the Pet Shop for studying, then dumped back into the pond. (Which is a bit strange, don't you think? They're studying the same fish over and over again. Heh, scientists.)

The game is completely the same as when Disney owned it, except with improvements and a couple features that are missing (for now).
The team has made a large amount of tweaks to the game, those of which can be found in the patch notes on this blog post
The game is currently missing a couple features, such as parties, golf, and doodles. The reason doodles are not yet available is because the way they are written makes them very server-intensive, so the team would like to rewrite them in a way that will make them easier on the game. Golf was released over a year ago, but was removed due to crashing and issues with the physics (those golf balls were evil I tell you!)
Bossbot HQ received a massive redesign, making it larger and more cog-like than ever before. There is also a new area at Bossbot HQ called the "Executive Office", however you'll have to stay tooned to figure out what lies inside.
Other than that, the game is completely identical to the game Disney had, and there is still more to come. New content is in the works, as well as all of those old features that still need to make a return.
If you're going to get back into the game, it would be good to start now and try to work your way through a bit, the reason being that sometime this month will be "Operation: Storm Sellbot", which you wont want to miss for sure!
The game shut down. You are a little late. But remakes, like Toontown Rewritten ( https://www.toontownrewritten.com/news ) are currently being worked on. I've noticed ages 10-25 that usually play Toontown. In the game, you kill business robots that just want to make money to support their families (Jk, they are evil robots)
Let me start off with this: nothing is impossible to exploit.
That being said, we're trying our best to make it extremely hard to do, and we've made tremendous progress since Toontown Online. Not only have we safeguarded the client from malicious code injection from day one, but we've also been fixing up other exploits that Disney being left behind.
Let me reiterate... true hacking is gone for the time being. You can no longer inject your own code into the game and run off of that. If we didn't, you'd be seeing a lot more disruptions, and old Toontown Online injectors would be mostly compatible with Toontown Rewritten. However, they're not -- we've patched that up.
What's currently happening is an exploitation of the original client code that we borrowed from Disney, and that's perfectly plausible. Although we've tried our best to get most of the exploitable stuff out, we could've easily missed something that others could have found, and that's what those "hackers" are relying on -- finding that code.
That being said, your information, toon's data, and account information are safe and secure. All that's going on right now is some silly code by Disney that allows clients to see and edit too much data, which can ultimately result in other clients seeing what one client wants them to see -- which is where this whispers with profanity is coming from. It's also most likely why you're seeing toons doing weird animations that they wouldn't be doing otherwise.
So no worries, nothing's truly being hacked or injected, but there are exploits in every system, and it's good we're finding them now and fixing them in a Beta rather than later. Remember -- we care about this game as much as you do, and we'll be fixing up the problems we find! :)
I had the same issue at first! Have you tried this? Look at the instructions in the answer to the question that says “Is TR compatible with MacOS Catalina and MacOS Big Sur?”
https://www.toontownrewritten.com/help/faq/troubleshooting#mac-catalina
There was a "Top Toons" Event that happened on New Years, where players were challenged to either defeat the most cogs in a designated hour (Like 12 AM, 1 AM, 2 AM, etc.) or take over the most cog building floors in the same time period. The top 4 toons in both categories for each hour won the shirt that everyone is wearing in the pic above. Here is the blog post containing the full list of winners, if you're interested in knowing who won.
They are working on it: (https://www.toontownrewritten.com/help/faq/gameplay#wasd). Also, you can use an AutoHotKey script to do the same thing. But the more posts that you guys post on this, the bigger the change the TTR team will actually even consider working on anything, so go ahead.
Pretty much. The grey is just the exposed void that we're usually not supposed to see. It's nice to see a game engine mechanic given some unintended lore.

Me too! My favorite thing was fighting the bosses. I played it again over the years a few times, on two versions:
​
There's Toontown Rewritten which is basically just the same as the original.
​
And there's also Toontown Corporate Clash which is basically a whole new version of the game with tons of new features.
I believe it's in the help section at https://www.toontownrewritten.com/help

Hope you'll be able to get in the game soon! And I wish you the best of luck!
I'm sure I've mentioned this to /u/quentin-e before, as well as in our staff channel in our Discord server, though I think it would be a good idea to have monthly blog posts that give the playerbase an idea as to what the Toontown Team is currently working on.
From what I've seen, people are mostly concerned about the lack of new content being released by the Toontown Team, which in turn results in a lack of confidence by the community in regards to TTR. By doing monthly blog posts, however, I believe this would alleviate some of the concerns that people have about TTR's approach to new content.
Whilst I do fully understand that information relating to projects being worked on interally would be confidential, these monthly blog posts could simply give people an idea as to what the team are currently working on. Whilst a blog post like the recent Meet the Meter blog post could work, smaller blog posts could be made in-between such posts along the lines of "this is what we're working on" and "this is where we're at". Just think of these smaller posts as being simple "progress updates".
Every year there is a event called "New Year's Top Toons Marathon". Toons are rivalizing each other who will defeat most Cogs/recover most Cog Buildings. Once the winners are announced, they receive an exclusive Gold Medal Shirt sent straight to their mailbox at the estate. The results will be in TTR website. Well, check the winners for this year. Hope I helped. Cheers, Popcorn.
Unfortunately our artist who did the previous comic (this one) is no longer on the team, and we've also rescheduled a few of our projects to make sure we're meeting what the community wants. At some point we will hear what happened inbetween the election and the start of beta, but I'm not sure whether or not it will be in comic form.
My guess according to the Toon Name Guidelines
>Don't merge words that are too large. >Names that consist of merged words need to be 15 characters or less, and can only contain two combined words total.
Well, there are reasons. Here is the reason that 'Sir Max' provided on TTR's blog post
- "Doodles are tough, because we need to figure out how to implement them without bogging down the rest of the game. No one wants more lag! At the same time, it's tough to work on that implementation while trying to keep you guys entertained with other content."
Now on a technical level, Doodles are hard. Servers have tried implementing them but they normally backfire or they take it out of their game. Take Toontown Infinite for example. They had Doodles released and eventually, it was taken away from the game.
The major drawback Doodles has is really lagging the server. The server takes a massive dump whenever Doodles are implemented into the game which caused constant crashing and district resets in Toontown Infinite. This is why Toontown Rewritten is taking them time with Doodles to make sure none of this happens on their game so it'll be smooth sailing when the feature comes out. Doodles can be implemented easily. I feel like Toontown Rewritten could launch Doodles right now as a feature, but the problem is if the server can handle it.
Nope. /r/toontown is still around, and so is the game itself (at least in fanmade form)! You can take a look at Toontown Rewritten if you're curious, and there are a couple of other Toontown servers as well.
I'm surprised too! I used to play it religiously as a kid. It turns out someone took the whole code of the game and is hosting it on 3rd party servers w/o the need for membership. (https://www.toontownrewritten.com)

Release Notes: Here
Reading https://www.toontownrewritten.com/news/item/141/the-end-of-an-alpha-era this post got me so pumped. It's becoming a reality here soon for us non-alpha testers. I'm especially pumped for this:
> One of the main points of Beta is to give our servers and game technology a massive overhaul in preparation for the public release to ensure that everyone has a chance to play smoothly without interruption - and hopefully even more smoothly than ever before.
Oh, really? That's really weird, considering it says right in the Toon Naming Guidelines that fictional names are allowed as long as they wouldn't be confused with real people (the acceptable examples they use are Kylo Ren and Dipper Pines). I guess if the person reviewing the name hasn't seen the show, they might not know the name is based on a fictional character, though.

After a few days since Disney has shutdown, a few of the community members coded every aspect of the game from the ground up! This means, they coded everything from scratch!

Toontown is from 2003. Sadly it shut down in 2013 but fans brought it back in the best way possible. Feel free to check it out! This one's more of a family-friendly one.
Toontown? It's a pretty old game that closed down in 2013 but was revived by fans. It's been pretty successful for a now-15 year old game, getting around 2,500 players per day. It's family-friendly, however, so it's not really violent. Sorry if it's not your taste!
Yes!!! Welcome back to Toontown! The real-life ToonFest takes place in 25 days, where all the new content for this year will be spoken about. Hype! :D
I get where you're coming from, but I've met quite a few people who love the TTR storyline once they know of it, thanks to me (as a fan and writer of Toontown Stories myself, I push the story to anyone who's willing to listen) but had no idea it was happening, even with the current ARG recently spanning across several social media platforms. I have links and docs saved up that tell most of the story when read in order, but it's mostly been fragmented over the years till recently when they posted a somewhat of a recap post. However, even that just skims through most things, and there's no mention of the Slappy Quackintosh days, which is what led to the Cogs invading in the first place, and why the rest of the lore is happening to begin with.
Having a centralized location for the entire TTR lore would be nice. They've kinda done that with the post above, but hard as it may be to believe, not everyone reads the blog. So I like the idea of an in-game way of catching up with the story. In fact, if it was an interactive way of catching up, such as having to click buttons, or move about a room, it would help keep people engaged and interested.
Sorry to hear about your frustrations with SOS shoppers. We do allow SOS shopping, but only if everybody in the group agrees. You can read more about it on our FAQ here: https://www.toontownrewritten.com/help/faq/moderation--safety#sos-shopping
If SOS shopping has not been agreed to but a Toon leaves the battle anyways, please send us a report via email to . All we need is your account name, Toon name, and the time and date of the VP. If you have any information about the Toon that left, that helps too!
You can find our policy on prior infractions with regard to applications on our FAQ page! The link should take you right to the relevant entry.
Sorry to hear about your situation with SOS Shoppers! We do allow SOS Shopping, but only when everyone in the group is OK with shopping. More details here: https://www.toontownrewritten.com/help/faq/moderation--safety#sos-shopping
If you are in a random group where shopping is not going to be OK with everyone and you do see a toon leave, please Email us and we can look into it!
You can also send to the various emails, addresses, and individuals listed here. Physical mail is a lot more powerful than e-mail, so give 'em the ol' snail mail for maximum effect! Share a family memory, maybe a photo of a Toontown event you held/went to! A time where Toontown helped you in a time of need, anything at all. Every little effort counts for showing Disney just how much we love/support Toontown and would want to see it officially supported with the love and care it deserves :)
https://www.toontownrewritten.com/help/faq/about-toontown#save-toontown
Heya! I'm pretty sure you should email TTR Support ( ) to get your answer about your username.
Maybe it was due to the lack of spaces? I believe that they denied the first name (Mynameajeff) due to it being a 'sentence' (The rule for sentences is as follows "Don't use sentences. We recommend that you tell someone your sentence rather than using it as your name. '- Unacceptable: I Like Kitties, Bunnies Are The Best' '- Acceptable: Kitty Love, Best Bunny'") but then again, I'm not sure. Email them to check what was wrong.
Edit: Also, here's the rules for names ; https://www.toontownrewritten.com/terms/toonnames
I've been dying to know the answer to this, I tried to E-mail staff but nobody would reply despite the fact I resent the E-mail multiple times, so I really want to ask here while the time is ripe-
The rules of the Election specifically stated "Nothing too similar to Dogs, Cats, or anything we already have. No Wolves."
(https://www.toontownrewritten.com/news/item/368/toonfest-nominate-a-new-toon-species-today)
So, as we all know, Fox is a canine. Fox is like a wolf. Put a Fox and a Wolf side by side and you can see the similarity. Even in cartoon Foxes and Wolves, you can see the similarity.
But the rules stated "no dog clones, no canines"
Also, Fox has a slight resemblance to Cat, but the rules also stated "no cat clones, no felines"
So this leads me to ask, why is Fox being allowed to compete in this competition? It seems very contradictory to the rules, as if the rules are literally being broken.
"No Wolves" yet there's a Fox? It seems questionable. And I'd hate to say it, but it's actually made me very suspicious.
It's mostly being worked on one at a time, but the problem is that they keep making announcements and updates to a feature that has been long overdue. They promised a new website and that it's "almost done" when it's last blog post was August 2015.
Instead, the main issue that people are having nowadays is that they have the potential for all these projects, but they don't plan to hire any new developers. There's LOTS of people who applied to become a programmer because Toontown Rewritten has such a lack of programmers in that department that actually code and make features for the game. If other servers like Stride, Infinite and Fellowship can create new features with even a lesser staff team than Rewritten -- then why is it taking so long for Toontown Rewritten to actually fix bugs and make features that people have already done. People have submitted emails on how to fix a certain bug, but yet on Rewritten it still hasn't been fixed yet. That's the main issue that's going on right now.
There is a way to enable Anti Aliasing. You can learn how here
As for the other graphics, the TTR devs have already started working on completely re-texturing the game with much higher quality textures. You can find out about it and view some pictures with this link
Posted by: 'Lil Oldman' || October 6, 2014 02:00 PM
Hello. I do think that this is my first time imposing a greeting upon a few of you, so some would say that an introduction would be in order. However, I need no introductions. I will give you one anyway: I am The Blizzard Wizard. Bah, let's get on with this.
The Toon Council is a smart band of Toons - perhaps even as smart as I. Though I do not plan to bother with the atrocities of toonocracy, I am simply a messenger. I do think that the Toon Council has been into my Lumpy Cheese, as they've gone mad with the announcement I have been sent to announce.
Back in my day, Toons would train 36 hours a day, 9 days a week, 14 months per year to exceed our gag limits. Even now, when I sit old and maxed, I still travel the cold streets of The Brrrgh to train my gags and discover more. Maybe only during Mr. Hollywood invasions. They have excellent caviar.
Nonetheless, I am now announcing the reason I have been sent to announce in which the announcement is Double Experience Weekend from Friday to Monday. Go to the streets my children, (Do not think you are actually mine. I am merely a polite rabbit.) and train the gags you have been given. The experience returned will be twice as much, and quadrupled over the invasions.
What's that, toad? Ah yes. It is time to feast. Remember: You do not truly earn a gag with points, but with experience. Do not ask me what this means. I do not know.
Release Notes: Here
Toontown Rewritten is taking a different approach with this, and it is smart. The team stated here:
"All of our Alpha Testers, as a thanks for helping us, will be given extra keys as well so that they can play with their friends throughout Beta. As Beta goes on, those friends will be given keys to invite their friends, and so on."
They will continuously release key after key to beta testers and so-fourth. Toontown Rewritten will slowly grow larger and larger until it can hardly be called a closed-beta anymore- and soon any toon will be able to join in. They have a large team of talented developers who know Toontown in and out, and dedicated alpha testers who helped with bugs in the past.
Releasing it to the public could cause trouble, and constant downtime would be bad on their part. Be patient, the game is growing fast- and it's only a matter of time until everyone can join in on the fun.
Yes lots of toons are playing ToonTown currently! Since it is the summer time, there are around 2000 players on average that play ToonTown everyday!
You can find groups here! or you can also join the TTR Discord on this sub on your right that says Discord if you ever need help on getting started!
Please Note: The ToonTown Rewritten Discord is not affiliated with members of the ToonTown Rewritten team! Any issues with the game must be emailed to the support team!
There is also an event going on currently with Cashbot HQ! The event is called Operation Crash Cashbot! Here is a blog post to get you started!
I hope I get can see you in the game!
Not on Steam, but ToonTown Rewritten if you're into that sorta thing or have nostalgia for the original game.
It was changed in this update a little over a year ago: https://www.toontownrewritten.com/news/item/340/the-sos-card-tweak-peek Lots of SOS details were changed in that update, though the post doesn't go into all of them.
Previously, all three lure SOS did the exact same thing (lure lasting four turns) despite Lil Oldman being 5 star and Ned and Nancy being 3. TTR changed it so Oldman uses presentation (15 turns), Nancy uses hypnos (4 turns), and Ned uses big magnet (3 turns). It was sort of a controversial change, with a lot of people thinking it was too overpowered, but it makes more sense than the Disney way.
Posted by: 'Doctor Surlee' || December 6, 2015 02:15 PM
Greetings. For those who don't know me, I'm Doctor Surlee of Loony Labs. You may have heard some news from my co-worker, Professor Prepostera, a few days back. Today I'm here to bring you another exciting discovery from the labs - a proposed solution to an activity us Toons like to call Minigolf.
Ever since the April Toons Gravity Mishap, and even sometime before, I've been dedicating my work to studying the silly surge anomalies in Toontown. One that peaked my interest was an issue with Golf Balls disobeying the laws of physics.
It's taken me months to find the cause, but with the data we received from the quantum silly gravitations combined with a dose of reorganizing the punny particle structure of the golf ball's molecular field (Luckily some of those moles moved from our golf courses over to the Bossbot's) -- I was finally able to come up with my own Theory of Golfitivity to put an end to the physics-breaking calamities!
Oh. I lost you. Let me put it simply: The Golf Balls are ready to go, and after a bit of preparation, they will be ready for all to use. Chip and Dale's Minigolf will be open to all of Toontown later this week!
I'm sure one of the Toon Troopers will have plenty to tell you about the courses upon their release. Check up in the next few days - the golf shipments are almost over with.
Now, back to my experiments. Since that I've solved that dilemma, it's time to finalize the work on another experiment of mine relating to Silly Surges...
Release Notes: Here
The last phase of Operation Storm Sellbot. It will add Sellbot HQ toontasks from Resistance Rangers, new SOS cards, and even more. Not sure when TTR is releasing it, but it's been a week since Phase 1.
Edit: here's some more info
There is a release note API:
https://www.toontownrewritten.com/api/releasenotes to grab an index of all release notes, similar to /api/news. https://www.toontownrewritten.com/api/releasenotes/172 to grab the details for a particular release note.
Also note that the "server status" API is only just a "login state" API; that is, if the servers exploded, it will still say "open: true". However, if we post a banner like "Shockley knocked over the Jenga tower!" or if we close logins, then that API will tell you the current state.
