Why ToonTown Online Died

- ToonTown Online was an online MMO that I used to play as a kid, and it was a ton of fun. Since this game had such a special place in my heart, I personally wanted to make this video discussing why ToonTown Online died.

Enjoy this video? Check out my newest video where I go back and actually play through the game in 2020! czcams.com/video/-CEX1DLK5WU/video.html
Yo man, your videos are awesome!
I don’t think the developers of TTR are the same team as those of Corporate Clash.
U gonna play TTO or TTR
E
the reason why it didn't make a lot of money was because some kids and adults had bad connection issues with their computers when i played toon town i asked alot of toons why they weren't playing the game and they said there computer Wi-Fi was bad. so they ended up switching to club penguin because u could play it on any platform.
2013: We're closing ToonTown to focus on Club Penguin
2017: Jk lol we're closing that too
Kra Z Kapin 2018: Lets create a Phone App!
2019: Nah lets close that as well lmaoo
2013: hey bruh have you heard of Minecraft its like the best game ever
2018: what the hell is a Minecraft?
Stop with this shit
Benjamin Esposito stop with ur fucking stupid comment u just ruined it
Benamin and Sam A few days ago: Stop this! No, you stop it! NO I TOLD YOU FIRST!
Me today: Lol, both of you stop.
Disney has to shut the game down because they realized they were the evil Cogs lol
nobody even argues with that statement.
Considering Toon Town was closed for not making enough money... you’re completely right.
so much irony
Well you also have to agree a bunch of Disney workers are just like us. Working families who have a home. It doesn't matter if some are dirty rich or snobby. The most important part is that they are just like us.. Humans.
Plot twist
When it said “your internet connection to the servers has been unexpectedly broken.”
*i felt that*
When you were about to fight the boss cog with a group of high level players and your internet crashes.. that was the worst
mine always crashed during parties when the fireworks were about to start
That would always happen to me. In a five story building needing to kill a certain cog full of them, and it crashes.
Scott B. Well guess what, that’s what’s happening every day now
ToonTown: * gets destroyed because Disney wants money *
Users: *you became the very thing you swore to destroy*
You were supposed to destroy the cogs! NOT JOIN THEM!!
reman I felt this. (Pause)
Skinny Wacky, yes your right Disney doesn’t want money are you joining the cogs reman Disney just wants to make people have fun so don’t be rude to poor Disney there super nice
In the end Disney became part of the cogs
@@lilliekillington5032 "poor disney" bruh they're doing fine lmao
The BEST part of their payed membership was that if you got a month plan, you had 30 (logged in) days of a membership. This means that if you paid for a month, played that day then didn't play for a year you still had 29 days to use. This was some revolutionary shit. I wish more subscription-based MMOs used this amazing system. Kudos to you, ToonTown.
Never heard of that, I think that might have been their game pass option that was cycled out quickly. The subscription model worked as the one we have today
@@ImGonnaFudgeThatFish the subscription model is used in all the newest video game consoles
@@segunthepikachufan1470 that is much, much different. Microsoft then Sony assumed that customers were willing to pay a *service* of network and multiplayer access. Toontown and mmorpgs are not services, they are products that continually update to an extent that warrants a subscription, and THAT is what died out. Not entirely though, because some use optional subscriptions for benefits, with only the main big players sticking with them (Wow, FFXIV)
I know a lot of people who got it just for that reason.
@@ImGonnaFudgeThatFish technically an mmo is both a service and a product. I think social media networks and mass multiplayer games must identify as either a service or product because of its ambiguity to how it's interpreted under the law. Technically toontown as the law is written is treated as both a product and service. The determining factor should be it's form of monetization. If by using ads, it's a service, if it's by subscription it's a product, but that's not the letter of the law. However it should be in my opinion.
It's rather ironic that Disney made a game about corporate "cogs" taking over an artistic world
And it shut down because it wasnt making enough money
THERES A LOT OF WOGSSS
And now club penguin island where you dont even get pants
Uhhh the likes are 666.....
@@anglix3633 I liked my own comment to change that
He started with a membership lol he don't know the struggle
CZcams search in 2009: “how to get free membership in toontown”
Can’t even remember how many free trial accounts I made lol
I dont remember needing a membership
@@original_honeybee girl u needed a membership to breathe. u needed a membership to go in cog buildings outside ttc. I remember people with no membership (including me) would SWARM buildings in ttc whenever they fell
Facts
I remember being so scared of the first cog and being afraid to step out of the tutorial.
If you entered bossbot HQ at that time of your age, you would have shat your pants. That place was dark and scary.
😂😂😂 same
@@g.atti_Had zero idea you played Toontown! Love ur vids.
@@MemeRaiderong bruh
I got trapped in a fountain in the main town area of ToonTown and started banging on the keyboard and ended up accidentally pressing keyboard shortcuts to turn the computer screen black & white and to flip the screen resolution upside down- completely locking up my grandparent’s desktop after a couple minutes of banging on the keys. I was banned from even touching the computer for almost 6 months. Legendary.
I remember that fucking fountain. You had to press alt to jump
Yea! I had a Goofy model for my character so I was pretty tall and it was too easy to get trapped in that damn fountain. I could usually jump out but for some ungodly reason I couldn’t get unstuck that day. I started to panic and my 6 year old brain gave up on jumping and decided punching every button on the keyboard was a good idea... Ty ToonTown
I remember just getting stuck in the beginning area because I was scarred to walk into the bad guys
LMAOOOO
lmfaoooo!!!
i have vivid memories of Toon Town because i was always poor and under leveled
lol saame
Yes, I only know this game bc my friend played it. If it wasn’t for her, I wouldn’t have even known this game existed
4:05 Is MeepCity From ROBLOX
AJ Alvarez
As much as I hate MeepCity, I at least thought it was ORIGINAL. Now I know that most games on Roblox are usually copied from games that existed before.
Just like me irl
Toon town was so much better than club penguin
On Mickey it was
Flemcore Jix nah
Yes! So much more interaction with the game!
Flemcore Jix
No and they were both trash
R/unpopularopinion
Toontown was my whole life when I was 10/11, and now I finally started playing the Rewritten version and I'm so glad I did. My adult responsibilities can wait
Oh same!! Hmu to play!
Hahhhahahaha xD you still playing it tho? 😂
@@xkatjejonise5735 YES INDEED, this comment aged well because I didn't think I'd have so much time to play during a pandemic. Finally got the damn wedding cake
@@trinityyunk9645 I just saw this, oops!! Any chance you're still playing?? Lmaoo
@@petyatodorova4949 bwhahahhaha 😂 right? I thought it was the perfect time to ask🤣
I remember the commercial of a kid waking up late for school and throwing down the black portal and appearing at school instantly. From that moment my top superpower choice was teleportation, and i got hooked to playing ToonTown.
rexpwnzer nelson was his name. I still remember :D
That was a funny ad.
I never bothered getting the game.
But i seen a few of the ads, leading up to Toontown.
I remeber that as well
I remember that, i also remember looking for a large black hole in my closet for a while
Here's that commercial czcams.com/video/NkrtqQPKgIU/video.html
The irony about an evil corporate conglomerate that monetizes creativity making a game about fighting an evil corporate conglomerate trying to monetize creativity that costs money to play (the full version) that goes to said evil corporate conglomerate and was closed down due it losing ability to be monetized for the evil corporate conglomerate to focus on another creative project to be monetized by the evil corporate conglomerate...
With the story ending with the creative forces finally controlling the game and is now free to be experienced.
Crazelord91 Dirty commi
GorumGamer Yes comrade
Don’t see you calling Disney evil when you go to Disneyland or watch the Disney movies at the movies?
Miguel Angel You don't even know me...
Miguel Angel wow, I do neither of those, amaaaazing
I played the free version and i remember just fishing lots
Joeink100 same
Same
Puck Daily I just remember niggas sitting on top of each other on the train
SAME lmaoo
I loved the boat in Donal duck map
Maybe I was just a single poor kid with poor friends but like... didn't the majority of people play Toon Town and Club Penguin with no membership? I did, for years, because parents would obviously think that's stupid to pay for. I feel like most people played these games 100% free lol only the lucky few got the memberships
I had no membership for six years on Toontown Online, but I still miss it lol
I never had a membership on any of these MMO's lol. I remember being so jealous when I saw someone on ToonTown who had it.
Right?? I played Club penguin free and I would take over my cousins account whenever we were together cuz she had the membership
I didnt have one lol
i didn't have one. my mom didn't trust online games at the time. i remember begging the support team over the phone for a subscription when i was like 6.
It died because Judge Doom tore it down and turned it into a freeway.
Darn you JUDGE DOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!! XD
MY GOD... It will be beautiful.
And when he did it, he talked JUST LIKE THIIIIIIIIISSSSS!!!
"Eight lanes of shimmering cement running from here to Pasadena."
Oh, my god it's *_DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP!!!_*
My mother hated ToonTown Online because when my brother and I were young we used to download the game constantly onto her computers, hence slowing them down, so the fact that ToonTown Online was closing down on her birthday made her so happy it was insanely hilarious. xD
you should download toontown rewritten just to see how she reacts ;)
Having games installed on a computer won't slow it down. Games are data, data is stored on the hard drive. If gamename.exe is not running, there is no extra load on the cpu/ram/hdd. Your mom was probably looking for a scapegoat.
@@remilafleur540 She isnt wrong really, constant downloads and filling up the hard drive affects the load times since it has to go through a lot of data to find what it needs. That and malware that thens to get it also contributes to that.
@@josephdimen4278 Toontown Online required 256 MB of Hard Drive space, i pulled out a listing for a basic eMachines from the 2003 era and it came with a 80GB (80,000MB) IDE drive.
''it has to go through a lot of data to find what it needs'' Run the defragmentation program, easy fix.
''malware'' Back in those days you could get malware from anywhere on the internet. Toontown was pretty safe compared to Counter Strike 1.6
Unless the original comment meant to say, we kept spamming the download icon on the web site filling the download folder with 300 duplicates of the same ''ToontownInstalWizard.exe'' and having a backlog of 300 more downloads of ''ToontownInstalWizard.exe'' slowing the PC to a crawl.
@@remilafleur540 lmao, small essay defending yourself, then the admittance that you "created a backlog of 300 downloads"
well then
I didn't even know Rewritten was a thing. I loved Toontown as a kid and I'm going to check it out after work today for sure.
Yes!! I found out like a month ago and was filled with nostalgia and have been binging when i can. Hmu to play!
I found out about a year ago and have been playing since... I loved this game so much!
Did you check it out! Its awesome.
Ima hop on too
feel like it’s gonna take me to near death to never go back on that game again lol, i been grown up on that game since 07 and i’m 20 now.. i hop on like twice a year but still
Before watching this video I gotta ask you fellow viewer...
*"Are you Toon enough?"*
Thesightofpeace97 0 I wish....I wish I still was. You know what, imma go back into the game right now! Imma regain my Tooniness!
Yes I am
Why, no, but I am Looney enough
Thats things doest'n ask *my fellow toon*
No game will ever compare! Wizards101 is super fun, but I'll always be partial to Toontown💖
I swear you could literally do NOTHING w/o that membership boy..
And years later consoles follow the Membership models that games like Toontown did
It was worth it, unlike Club Penguin
At first it was a 3-day free trial, but you were otherwise unlimited. After a few years, they changed it to a freemium membership model, and free players couldn't leave Toontown Central, the starting district. They also didn't have access to things like gardening, pets, and a bunch of other things.
no i'm fairly sure you could leave ttc unless i'm being forgetful/i did have experience at mostly the end, late 2012-end
Actually it was very easy to circumvent the membership all you needed to do was friend someone who could go put side of toontown central teleport to them and do the quest for Donald's Dock till you get to access. Boom now the entire game is unlocked for free.
*”Was awarded MMORPG of the year in 2003.”*
I was about to freak out until I realized that World of Warcraft released in 2004 xD
Bitter Comments WoW is ToonTown 2 confirmed
EVE online was made in 2003
Is Runescape a MMO
@@hunterlewis93 You really need to read more, if you don't know that answer
Everyone: So, will you make more great games similar to ToonTown and Club Penguin?
Disney: *Hello, I like money.*
I cried when they closed it, though I was 15, I never thought I'd get the chance to play it again. When I was 18 I found out about rewritten, and I still play it to this day as a 20yr old.
oh crap! i completely forgot about this lol. i never played it but i remember seeing the constant advertisements on the Disney channel. seems like yesterday lol
davidevgen I remember hating the commercial.
I remember always wanting to play it
it was repetitive lol
Me too.
I remember them always saying you need parents permission to play
My favorite game when I was younger ;-;
MTN Same here
Same.
same man i remember playing online n rewritten
I played pirates online more
I believe I was 5 or 6 years old playing it and getting confused when it finally closed down :/ But luckily my brother had introduced me to Newsground so it wasn’t so bad
You want to eat?
*Membership*
You want a jacket?
*Membership*
Basically all games of this genre XD
The only thing that was truly blocked was buying your own clothes or making your own party. You could use items friends gave you plus it was easy to bypass ttc without membership.

THE DIARY OF A WIMPY KID ISLAND 💓
Omg yess!! I loved that game sooooo much
Yes 100%
Played it in highschool
Dope Candy lmfaooo yessss
soooo.... club penguin killed Toontown, and club penguin just straight up died.
It didn't die, it was murdered.
Someone So the murderer got murdered.
Good.
A little off topic but Animal Jam may shut down because of its players. *BREAKING NEWS* : ANIMAL JAM PLAYERS BURNING THEIR OWN HOUSES DOwN
weirdrabbit64 Animal Jam, ROBLOX and more! Wait! Is animal jam going to be shut down? I mean the last time I played there were a lot of players
Danny Ha sounds pretty accurate
Honest to god I would of never knew about ToonTown Rewritten if it wasn't for this video, and now me and my friends wanna hop on it just to mess around again. We're all in highschool
I thought it would be hilarious to give it another shot back when I was in middle school. That was 6 years ago, I'm still playing to this day and I just graduated!
WOW What negativity!
Justin Valadao would have*
Fredrick I've been playing off and on for 12 years. It sucks you back in somehow
Play Toontown corporate clash when it comes out not rewritten
Being a 2000's kid myself, each point you mentioned, I remember all of it. I remember when TT was at it's peak, and then slowly began to decline. They took the Silly Meter from Toon Hall, the parties declined, the community was slowly dying... I still held hope that TT would come back to its former glory, but that day they mentioned the closing of TT, I swear I cried for almost a week straight. The withdrawal I felt from not being able to play had hit very hard and I eventually went about my days in a haze, playing every game I could, and when I saw TTR was reviving my childhood game, i was more than ecstatic! Playing the game again feels so good and I'm so glad that these volunteers are reviving old nostalgic childhood memories that could have been left to die with history. ❤❤❤
I cried too it was awful, I hadn't known it had closed for a while and was devastated. I'm still playing ttr now! I was there the day ttr went live for public!
ToonTown is one of those games that immediately come to mind for me when I think about favorite childhood games. Hearing that ToonTown soundtrack just floods my brain with nostalgia. I was around 10 when ToonTown released and a best friend of mine at the time was playing it and he turned me on to it one day and I fell in love with the game. It was my first real experience in a multiplayer MMO like environment and it was new and exciting and I just couldn’t wait to play it.
A CZcamsr I was just watching was playing old childhood favorites which had me thinking about mine which lead me to think about ToonTown and that’s why I’m here. I had no idea ToonTown shut down and already over 5 years ago at that. In sad that the original is gone but in my opinion it’s just and old game that ran its course, it was bound to happen sooner or later.
That being said I’m glad to hear about ToonTown rewritten and am thankful for those volunteers who are keeping a part of my childhood alive. I think I’m gonna give it a try for old time sake and take a stroll down memory lane.
Toontown Rewritten is incredibly accurate, they recreated it so well
And recently they announced new content that follows the Disney vision for toontown
I loved reading this
Oh yeah you should definitely try it , it’s really fun and is like playing original toon town
Aw man I remember this well. Along with Pirates of the Caribbean Online it was definitely part of my childhood and man just looking at the gameplay and listening to the music just gave me a nostalgia rush. Oh and those ads got me in there as well.
Shark That Makes Videos those where the same two games I remember playing.
They actually have their own version of pirate online now it under a different name but exactly same base game
sydney mccleskey yeah tlopo. It was really buggy about a year ago but I just hopped on a couple weeks ago and it's improving
crazy train shame people who play on Mac are being fucked over
My POTCO account got hacked and I had a lot of the best shit at the time. I was so upset when I lost my account.
I used to love this game and one day when I tried to open it and it said that it didn’t work I literally broke down. I was 7 and had a mid-life crisis because the game about colorful animals.
Jeon Tori fokin furry
Its ok atleast now you have bts to satisfy you
I was the person that would be glitching, running through the train tunnel , doing the stair glitch to fly . I miss it :(
Stair glitch was the best thing
I'm honestly surprised Disney is generous enough to let them keep going with the game. Disney is pretty stingy about their IP's so the fact that all they demanded was for the Disney characters (Donald, mickey, etc) to be left out is pretty amazing to me.
Okay so turns out that Corporate Clash is made by entirely different people than the team who made Rewriten. Sorry about that!
I don't exactly blame you for thinking it was made by the same people. You missed the 5 years of other toontown servers trying to give "competition" to ttr (Even though it shouldn't be a contest). Some of them did, some of them didn't. Some of them did for a while, some faded. Like man, if you were around for those 5 years, you would probably see something interesting.
Do you think you can do a video on the pirates of the Caribbean mmo? I remember my cousin playing it and I think it would be a good video.
RoboKast, i see you like doing these kinds of videos :p
RoboKast because Disney bought it?
I wrote that before I heard “toon town that Disney made and published”
Why did ToonTown die?
*Takes 3 steps*
YOUR SERVER WAS UNEXPECTEDLY BROKEN

sideshot club penguin is complete trash unlike toontown
Toontown, Club Penguin, Wizards 101, Poptropica, Webkinz, Pirates Online, ahhh the innocent childhood games I miss them
And animal jam before they required membership for everything.
Free Realms also was a great game....
Anyone remember Movie Star Planet?
Me neither. 😶
And pixie hollow was fun! I liked the tearoom
Disney murdered them, in blood.
RIP Pixie Hollow, that was my favorite
Pixie Hollow was a good game 😭😭
i miss it rip
I used to play the shit outta that game
CJ Daly me too, I found a nice gift card for that a year after it ended but that I rel8zed ooof
Pixie Hollow was my liffeeee 💔
I won't lie, I loved Toontown back then but I did ultimately did switch to Club Penguin and played it much more than TTO. I planned on playing both games at once but i ended up putting all my time in CP. I remember getting my mom to cover my CP memberships while I bought my TTO memberships but I started using my money on music so I stopped playing around 2011. I took TTO for granted and never in my mind did I think it would shut down. I was so sad about losing my 98 laff toon and never got to reach 100. However i'm now way past 100 on TTR and im happy about that. Amazing memories with both games. (Oh and I'll be playing Corporate Clash too.)
I mean, both games are dead now. The difference is that Club Penguin Rewritten was deleted lol
Shoutout to all the Runescape babies, our game is still up and running, so I guess we sort of won
club penguin rewritten is back again lol. And I was pretty young when I first played toontown. I think i got up to like 50 laff when I thought cream pie was a good gag haha. I think my account got hacked eventually so I wasn't able to play anymore. However, on ttr I've gotten 122-123 laff (dont remember lol). Also planning on playing ttcc
Jamakinz haha I remember buying the 10 membership cards begging my mom
u weird nigga
I loved this game. Could never pay for it so I did like 12 free trials
Rip Toontown! I remember when my dad taught me how to make secrete friends with pictures on the wall and jumping.. I thought i met my first love on toontown and we talked for years and have only stopped in the last couple actually. im 24. This game was in my family and mines life for YEARS. When people pick on me for buying fortnite skins on a free game , well my mother spent a few hundred on this game over the years lol.
my childhood games i played on the computer were pirates of the caribbean, wizard101, roblox, toontown, and fusion fall.
Fusionfall, Wizards101, Toontown, and Club penguin (in that order). Fusionfall was the best imo
Yesssss
I remember I made my wizard look like an Assassin from Assassin's Creed (I was quite the fan boy back then)
I miss pirates of the Caribbean so much
Bro look closer meep city
Is a ripoff of boomtown the fishing the buckets baits and the town layout
I actually cried watching this (I know stupid reason to cry over something) but like those 4 games were literally my life. I’m glad Toontown Rewritten is open but sometimes I feel extremely sad about the old one. I’m also really upset no one made a Pixi Hollow or Pirates Of The Caribbean rewritten game! THOSE WERE LITERALLY THE BEST GAMES I PLAYED. I hate Disney for ruining my childhood 😔
I actually found a POTCO fan game called The Legend of Pirates Online yesterday. It's still in beta so theres not much yet like the QAR and the invasions, but it's pretty one to one with POTCO :)
IKR SAME OMG :’(
Lilz Sunda3
Yeah you're right it is a stupid reason to cry and you should be ashamed of yourself
Pixie Hollow is also being remade. It’s called ABC Fairy. The new version is still really rough, but it’s so nostalgic just to login and fly around.
Don’t be sad that it’s over, be happy that it happened.
I remember being sad as hell when toontown closed bc it was shortly after free realms shut down and free realms was my favorite game ever, toon town running v close in second place. I JUST recently found out about rewritten im obsessed with it. Maybe it's because I haven't played in years but I didn't even notice a difference between rewritten and the original and I never had a membership. Either way, it's amazing.
Free realms was one of my favorite games and I still get sad when I think about it,
I know I wasn't the only one that would run on the sidewalk to avoid getting attacked by the goons right? Because those things terrified me lmao
So many fucking MMOs follow the same boring Fantasy or Sci-Fi aesthetic. I personally don't care if this was made for kids, I love the toon aesthetic because it's different. The idea to base combat in a MMO around ACME esque toon gags is fucking brilliant. I fondly remember playing this game and doing cog buildings, the best part was when you all left and watched the building explode and reform. It felt like you had been through a battle together with total strangers, and created this cool natural bond. Too bad the social aspect that WOULD have followed was ruined by heavy Disney chat censorship. Even the trolley minigames were really great, one of my friends told me that she spent most of her time in this game doing the trolley minigames and I am not really surprised.
ToonTown had a lot of potential and could have been a MMO to stand out amongst the rest, but alas. Anyone felt it was kind of strange how the enemies are literally corporate robots when that is kind of what Disney is? Not trying to be edgy here, but there must have been some awkward meetings with suits in the company.
Toontown Rewritten is FREE, and is fan-made, there also Toontown Corporate Clash with a total new playground it came out recently.
I remember buying a dozen catalog paintings to form secret “passcodes” on my house walls to activate private chat with strangers. What time I didn’t spend chatting up strangers it was literally taking down cog HQ and trolley all day and night. Damn near infinite jellybeans
it was technically made "for all ages", there were a LOT of dads and moms playing the game
Actually, I was going to say the opposite. So many fucking MMOs follow the same boring medieval setting. I want a sci-fi mmorpg. The last actual sci fi MMORPG we had was Swtor and Wildstar. Everything is fucking medieval fantasy and I'm sick of it.
Wizard101 is still king
Toontown
Wizard 101
Star wars online
Pirates 101
Edit: forgot about Poptropica!
Never did Star Wars, mostly because I wasn't into it. I'm still not but I played the "new" (I guess that's the word to use?) Star Wars games... Before they messed 'em up so badly.
WTF STAR WARS ONLINE WAS A THING
And jumpstart
monkey town world of cars roblox pirates of the caribbean club penguin and that pixie game but i cant remember the name
Also Mathblaster
Shoulda sold ToonTown Online to someone else.
Amy Elizabeth but think about how the new owners would treat the game!
But because they didn't and rather released the client source code and allowed people to make their own servers, we have the game we love todat
But then they would not own the rights to it.
oof I regret my past
As someone who was NEVER able to get a membership I’m glad they didn’t sell it to anyone who would’ve brought back the membership system
There are 5 members in our family, all of them now adults. Every single one of us played Toontown when the kids were young.
This was a great bonding experience with online gaming and our kids. It was fun to have us all sitting around talking strategy or watching each other play (or helping the youngest).
Does anyone remember Wizard 101
OctoChell I lived Wizard 101 and I passed it down to my brother
Giana 1979
My sister lived it then my brother lived it then he passed it down to me
Me
OctoChell Omg Chester is your pfp! Luxury pranks FANS!
Still live it, but barely. I'm playing Pirate101.
You were considered cool if you owned a party cannon and threw a party
CaWaf Holy fuck, this comment alone gave me such a rush of nostalgia. 7 year old me threw the realest ToonTown parties.
Bro ikr. 18 years old now, kinda hits you hard. Time of being a child is gone, time of being an adult is starting and I can't go back. Agh. It's agonizing yet it's not.
SuperSaiyanVeganGuitarCBDNihilist yup lol
damn man the nostalgia 😭😭
So, by the games logic, then Pinkie Pie must be super cool :3
If you haven’t noticed, when you walk into Disney world in Florida. All the building around Disney world when you walk in are exactly the ones you see in toontown. The shops look just like the ones in the same toontown.
I was so upset when pixie hollow died that was my shit as a little kid.
Club Penguin is a freaking MMO killer. It even killed itself to become a mobile game.
Nah Disney killed it
WHYYYYYYYYY DISNEY
It wasn't club penguin's fault, it was their greedy money loving self's fault
I love buying doodles, or the pets, on this game. I also remember struggling to defeat the cogs in those buildings you went in with groups with the sole purpose of fighting cogs. I was too little to really understand that I needed to become stronger before effectively having a chance with the cogs..
JustZero HAHA I don’t remember my username but edating wow whatta moment for these kinda games back in the day xDD
Carolyn Grace Marie I was like 6 and had no clue what I was doing but I played the shit out of the game
Soooooo true those were the days that and Zack and Cody ,Hannah Montana , back so Raven I can go on and on and pizza pockets!!! Lol I miss I can go back now that I'm 18 I wish just for one day lol
Thank you for making this video! I played toontown growing up also and started recently playing toontown again as I had just got a laptop I could play it on. I was beyond excited to see they did so much more with the game, and that it’s completely free now!
Thanks for making a great video. Always wanted to play this when I was a kid growing up, very interesting to listen to the history and look at the gameplay. You did a great job here, thank you again.
I️ never played toon town, but I️ did play Pixie Hollow. I️ was obsessed with it but my computer glitches often so I️ stopped. I️ never knew that it closed and am now sad :(.
derpypancakes/The LadyBlog i loved pixie hallow! i was devastated when it closed
I miss pixie hallow ;-;
I miss it too, I was sad when I went back and it wasn’t there
Omg I miss Pixie Hollow! I loved both of these games
God, this makes me feel so old
@Dissident Bones 22 here soon to be 23 💔
Yeah, when you start making a 24 year old feel old, that's something. But this video definitely did it.
It got me right in the childhood.
26 here. And I'm now wanting to play these again!
that music threw me all the way back to playing on my family computer. You unlocked some of the most deepest memories I didn’t even know I had. Toontown was my first game ever. I cannot explain the nostalgia with it I didn’t even remember it until a year ago.
I used to love to play Toontown Online. I used to play as Nubianman Mouse, I was at level 109 and I loved helping new players along. I will definitely look into Rewritten. Me and my family had great times with the original. Thank you for the video.
I'm 15 now and Toontown was actually one of the first online games I played as a kid along with Club Penguin and Pixie Hollow lol
Saeran Choi I played Toon Town and Wizard101 HAHA and I’m 13 I remember playing toon town online it’s sad that Disney has to do it that oh well
Olivia Wise I know right! Also I played Wizard 101 too lol. I loved to play online games when I was little, like I played Toontown, Club Penguin, Pixie Hollow, Roblox, Wizard 101 and some other 101 game I can't remember. I literally had a membership at least once for each game except Wizard 101 and the one I can't remember lol!
Mystic Messenger fan spotted
Voletta Oh no my cover has been blown. I've been exposed as a Mystic Mess. *mayday* *mayday*
I'm 13 and I've played every single game listed in these comments including Mystic Messenger lmao. I still play TTR and Roblox to this day.
P.s Rip Pixie Hollow, it was one of my families favorites besides toontown
I forgot this game existed
Nickjet 45 same here
same lol
Nickjet 45, yep you aren't the only one, but then it all just started to come back to me. :)
Nickjet 45 same
I always wanted to play this as a kid but we didn’t have internet 😂
I remember playing Toontown online on the last day it closed I was so very sad I was cry to tears. Couple days later i see a new Toontown sever called Toontown rewritten and I was so excited that they are remaking the game.
My mom, brothers and I had a big Toontown phase when we were younger and now it's our quarantine hobby!
I was more of a poptropica and moshi monsters kid, but it is cool to see what came of this site. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
Ebony Hagans-Greene Same, from time to time I still play Poptropica.
Ebony Hagans-Greene Me too! My Moshi Monster is probably dead now. Poptropica was my life as a child.
Yama Raja same I started playing it as a kid in elementary because I played funbrain
Dragoncam13 JSIGJWO SO THATS WHAT THAT BRAIN SHIT WAS CALLED SKFKAOFWOFKWAAAAA
Krōduss is your keyboard alright?
Thank you for spreading the word of Toontown a widespread of people, it was a really sad and hopeless time around the end of Toontown Online. With events like ToonFest hosted by Toontown Rewritten along with the maintained and growing community, it makes me think at least for a second that maybe there's hope for a revival.
I really don't want Disney to officially revive Toontown. It would be the death of all servers (TTR, TTCC, etc.) and wouldn't be free. Knowing Disney, it'd probably be expensive.
Random Gamer The thing is, those servers are made with the intent of pushing for a revival. Disney wouldn't be able to bring the game back with the way things were, such as a membership system. If we were to get a revival, it would definitely be different and hopefully even better
I remember being so sad as a kid, I started playing it at 5 years old, and to this day I still have videos and screenshots of me playing it.
The release of Toontown Rewritten woke up whe kid in me. I remember being at school, on my phone during class, attempting to get "in line" to enter the game, as it wasn't released to its full extent and you had to wait up to 3 hours to get online by signing up on their website every time you wanted to play. I cherish those memories and every once in a while I will play it to get that nostalgia that so many of us love ❤
Pirates of the Caribbean online anyone??
You Stink!
It is always so amazing to see passionate fan community get to together to keep a game they love running own their own.
Toontown was my childhood! Playing with friends online and the mini games were challenging but fun. I feel like the lag I got was frustrating but it new stopped me from playing. On that note I’m getting toontown rewritten haha
Wanna play ttr together? lol
Heyyyyyy hmu!! Lets play!
Toon town rewritten became dead to me when my all 4 friends stop coming on, almost 2 years ago
im still a sad friendless person
Abigail C. i’ll play with u 😿
I'll make friends with all of you
They were running 5 MMOs, you forgot VMK(Virtual Magic Kingdom)
Thanks for making this. Toontown is a really nostalgic thing to me. I never got a membership though :(
I was too poor man o would play on my free account in the library though (':
I got a year membership from my great grandma in like fuckin 2008, she died the next day
CamenSamen Wow that's rough...
Andreiwin sall good he got the subscription
TTR and TTCC are free great game.
Pixie Hollow, Animal Jam, Webkinz, and Poptropica were my jam.
Gallifreyan Girl oml yes I used to play Poptropica, Webkinz, but I still play Animal Jam lol
(Animal jam Play Wild and computer version lol)
Animal Jam ain’t OG.. (Came Out 8 years ago..)
Oh yeah yeah Yeah Yeah, 8 years ago. Think about it
sksksks animal jam was also a part of my childhood. While its not og, i still loved it
Yess, I loved Pixie Hollow
My goodness, I was addicted to this game for 7 years. I even made music videos for this game. Toontown1gurly was my toontown youtube name, hah. I was hacked at one point and was desperately upset, but I was so in love with the game, I had to play so I decided to start over. And like you, I've tapped into Toontown Rewritten for the first time in years and it brings back many many memories. It's crazy how a game like this even after you've lost it all, you kinda don't think twice to hop back on it. Even when you're way too old to be playing it. Hah. But I'd always meet adults on the game back in the day and honestly know that the volunteers who teamed up to recreate the game must have been true dedicated fans and obviously adults because hey, it takes smarticles to get something like this going and complete recreated. So props to them and props to you for creating this video. Definitely answered my question and hey, maybe we could be 'true friends', hah. :)
im downloading it right now for nostalgia purposes, hit me up in game lol
:D
"Cartoon world under the threat of being taken over by corporate cogs" Hmmm.
The whole idea was so damn smart
say what you want but pixie hollow was the bomb
hOLY SHIT YeS
FUCK YES
Otter Woods YES BITCH
if someone had to ask what my childhood was like, this game will cover nearly most of it. as a kid the concept was just amazing to me and there was never a single day i wouldnt login. on the weekends, i would wake up early to play the game and i remember having a purple cat best friend called Periwinkle. my parents also rarely bought me memberships, so i never got to enjoy the full experience but it was fun to come online and hang out with my friends. however, i eventually began to drift from it as i grew older. but the day i heard that toontown was shutting down, i cried. it's amazing what a silly game like this can make you feel sometimes. Rest in piece Cool Dizzennerd, my 56 laff toon.
King Doggo my purple car was called periwinkle 😳
Oh my god, have I witnessed a reunion?
wow, what a coincidence
I feel you. I had a cyan bunny called Tubby and a black cat called Black Crystal. I remember that I maxed them both. I nearly cried when I heard that disney deleted them without mercy back on 2013. I recreated them on toontown rewritten recently, bc I want to have them with me, since they're a part of my childhood. I would play it all over again if I had some friends to play it with me, but unfortunately everyone is too old now to enjoy playing a child game. I barely have any spare time to play it as well, since I grew up too and now I have tons of work to do. It's just sad :(
I played ToonTown off and on from 2008-2013. I remember logging on a few hours before the closure of the servers and we were all saying goodbye to each other. It was a sad day. I'm 20 now and I love playing ToonTown Rewritten. It's so fun because I never had a membership when the original was online, so in Rewritten I can go to all the realms that were restricted before.
I loved playing Toontown online. The last time I played it was in 2010 when I was in 10th grade. I'm so happy that the volunteers brought this game back to life! I am very thankful of them ❤
I remember this game and I loved it, even though I couldn't pay for membership, so I skirted the edges of the free zone stuff. This is the first time I've heard about 'Rewritten' so now I'm gonna go check that out.
"why toontown online died" because by the time it had gotten to a decent age it was only middle aged women playing it, one of them being my mother, then Disney just shut it down, to everyone's dismay.
aahh yeah! I remember that my mother was the one who got me into playing this game! I remember how she spent so much time farming up jelly beans to get a cool pet! Then when I played her character, I acidently deleated it! hahaha she was really upset. But still, It was a really fun time for me and my mom.
they sold out man
Trust me, for as many grown women there were, there were Also kids and teens playing. Like me.
Fardicles I know, i played it as well.
Softy I hardly meet anyone my age. And I’m 15 lmao
Being 26...this makes me feel old. I only ever played a trial version because my early childhood as consumed by runescape..
Once you said "houses," I had vivid flashbacks.
Whoa! I had no idea why my fav childhood games were closed until now :/ I always wondered.
damn.... I really used to love playing Pixie Hollow. i remember during the time i got an iPod 4g and wanted to download the pixie hollow boutique app, but unfortunately the app was removed before i got the mobile device, which sucked.
Oh my god I'm not the only one in the comments who played Pixie Hollow as well. I loved customizing my character in Pixie Hollow lol.
twoade Same. I was so upset when it closed, I had a membership and everything, and I started playing all the way back in 2010. I still can’t go a day without thinking about the game.
Thank you for making videos on old games like this. I had completely forgotten about a lot of the older games from my childhood. I love the feeling of watching the gameplay in this video and having all of the memories come back from when I played as if it were yesterday. It's brought me so much joy watching your videos and remembering all the great times I had playing these games.
Thank you so much!
3:15 lmao.... "gigs"... great video my friend!!!
I loved toontown. It was so nostalgic to re-create my character when I discovered Rewritten
Thank you for making that video! As people already told you, Toontown Rewritten is not Corporate Clash (our source code was leaked a few years ago and was/is being used by many other groups of people to make more servers during the years), but we do still add new content into Toontown! Our biggest upcoming new content is currently in progress, but some other things can already be seen in game.
We sadly can't sponser any content creators, since we are all just fans who volunteer, and the costs of keeping this game alive and printing out of game merch is coming out of our personal pockets, as there is no income and we don't accept donations, so sponsering can't really happen. :P But I'm glad you liked it enough to share your thoughts about it anyway!
Bless your beautiful souls.
Great video, you should make one about build a beat ville or yoville
Bearville*
I remember yoville!! That game was my favorite when I was about 13!
Yoville player here
Why are you here?
Gumbino wth gumbino is here?
I used to play the original Toontown as a kid and now I play Toontown Rewritten with my own kids. We just started and it’s still just as fun.
I loved Donald's Dream Land.
Disney must really hate good games huh
At least we still have Kingdom Hearts!
Don't jinx it
Mr GameBoy That not true, The problem seems to be that they made too many good ones that they couldn't equally invest in all of them. From a business stand point it makes sense why they couldn't keep it running forever. even the greatest games online don't last forever. Club Penguin was also taking away a lot of the game's traffic so it probably became more expensive to keep running it.
disney just want's to make money
Otaking Mikohani
For how long? O.O
Are you toon enough?
Jonathan James HOLD ON! I NEED TO FIND OUT IF IM TOON ENOUGH!
I was back then,
now I am a depressed 22 year old doomer.
Oh well it was fun while it lasted.
@@caleb-ct5vi 😔 man fuck this world
Seeing toontown again brought back so many memories I didn't know I had
