Quotation forthcoming. [Mar 2006]
I can FINALLY feel comfortable letting my kids play an MMORPG game, and can also feel comfortable leaving the room for a bit knowing that I won’t have to listen to crying about someone killing them in the game or asking me that dreaded question at dinner “Dad … what does this four letter word mean”?

I was so sad when this closed. Seems like the only real cogs were Disney themselves. But, the game was excellent. It was my first MMO ever back when it was out, and I loved it to the fullest. The private servers capture the same essence (although without the field offices and Doodles) and, even better, you don't have to pay to access anything.

It's in the interaction with other players that Toontown excels. Basic game-related queries and greetings are automated, and typed chat is heavily restricted to real-life friends. However, this doesn't impede the gameplay in any way.
The idea that kids can play online and not be subject to cyber creeps is a compelling one and if Toontown succeeds I’ll bet we see more games like it. While most folks aren’t going to want to trade in their bow and broadsword for a seltzer bottle those with kids should definitely give Toontown a look.
A nice change of pace from most MMORPGs and should definitely be the first place one looks if they intend to let their children try online gaming, but due to its repetitive nature and the difficulty for a seasoned gamer to take this title seriously, I have a hard time giving it an extremely high recommendation.
I used to play this game all the time when I was a kid back around 2007-2010. It was my first online game ever and it really left an impression on me. I'm so glad that Toontown Rewritten came along to revive this gem. My only complaint would be that, after having played this game so much and having reached the CEO boss fights, getting back into it can be a bit slow at first, but once it starts to pick up pace, it is a game in which you can invest hundreds of hours into.

Terrible game. What used to be only known as a place in "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and a park in Disneyland is now a toxic, basic, raw and boring community involving a game about animal toons basically killing robot business men. I'm happy it closed down. One of the games biggest mistakes was adding chat, it should have stick strictly with Speedchat. However, to the game's credit, it's not nearly as bad as Toontown Rewritten, which is simply an abomination. It's a waste of time and completely dated.

This is a game for children that was deleted by Disney due to the disgusting acts performed on the live servers. These creeps have renewed the game by launching their own personal servers to attract children in an moderately unofficiated environment in order to groom them for who knows what.
RIP Jomanda.

This review is also for the private servers // Toontown Infinite and Toontown Rewritten.
Even though this game is now dead, but new private servers are surfacing. I want to share with you the dirty little secrets about this game, and all the false reviews this game had over the years.
First off, Its no secret that this game is a mindless grindfest, but its actually more like a grind, within a grind, within a grind - everything you do is grinding, day in, day out - with very little in the way of rewards. This was setup specifically to generate money from parents - at least, with the private servers - they are free, although they have there own problems with crashing constantly for instance.
Extreme Grindfest explained
You want the highest level gags? That'll take you weeks upon weeks of grinding buildings on invasion servers. Thats assuming you have friends who play so you can team up - since the game goes from Solo Friendly in toontown central and donalds dock areas, to a forced grouping game post Daisy Gardens are - and without friends, quit - because you'll be standing around for hours trying to complete nonsense quests like the infamous lil old man quest line. Since the most amount of xp you can earn is roughly 200, it doesn't really take a genius to figure ****'ll take a while to max though gags and thats assuming you can max out the xp everytime - because you have to take into account, missing - which is another problem entirely.
You want to do bosses? Its a grind in order to get all the disguise pieces, then another grind of repeating the same boss battles, then doing factory runs in order to gain merits...repeat...repeat...repeat until you've run each boss about a thousand times for the top level suit then do it all over again with a different boss. Some bosses are actually fun like VP, but others are designed poorly like lawbot which is just mindnumbing bad button bash and hope.
So where is the grind within a grind? **** want laff points from gardening? ****'ll take you several months of repeating the same process each day, every day. ****'ll take you months to catch each fish, some fish being so rare that the drop rate is less than 0.1% and some people have never caught them.
Missing - this is another major problem with the game, since you have no control on the accuracy - sometimes the game will penalize you with huge amounts of missed gags, sometimes even leading to failed runs - the private servers seem to have an even lower %acc to gag ratio than original TTO had, even though they have denied it, but many actual players talk about the lower accuracy of lure all the time.
Another dirty secret is the wait time on ordering certain items from the catalog - these can vary wildly from 30 days to 720 days (3 years) - you heard me right? THREE YEARS delivery time - whilst alot are not that long, many are 200+ days delivery time for some items, makes you wonder who nutjob thought up this was a good marketing idea, even back when TTO was active, this was a hated feature among the adult player population but Disney refused constantly to remove this abomination of a feature.
You want to play TTO, I'm honestly glad the game is dead - I'm hoping for some sanity among the private servers to actually lower some of the insane grind, increase xp - remove or at least drastically reduce wait time on catalog items - - I've yet to see any positive changes, even the new catalogs are once a week, which honestly - was still not nearly fast enough.

Toontown is built on the principles of traditional Role Playing Games (RPGs) and Massively Multiplayer Games (MMPs).
