After 10 years of giving kids and trolls something to do on a slow day, Disney’s Toontown Online will be officially closing its doors forever next month. One might say that it’s had a good run, and I would be inclined to agree.
This isn’t a big deal in the scheme of things (or the industry), but a portion of today’s young adults spent time in Toontown Online at one point or another. This is sad news for the current young playerbase, but to older ex-players a piece of their childhood is being locked away forever. Once the game is gone, it is not coming back.
Those who decide to revisit their childhoods between now and the closing date of September 19th can do so without incurring any fees. Memberships are no longer available for purchase, and every player is given Member status until the game shuts down.
The Closing FAQ covers anything anyone who has purchased a card or subscription for the game needs to know.
Be free from the crushing emptiness and trolls that have overrun you, Toontown Online. Perhaps you will entertain another generation in MMO Heaven.
