Happy Anniversary ToonTown!

Celebrating 20 years of ToonTown!!! ToonTown was a family favorite at our house and I loved to log on and play it with my kiddos. We started playing in the summer of 2008 and played for five great years. In September of 2013, after ten years of being one of the best kids games and winning several awards, ToonTown Online closed their servers.  

In the wake of the closing, two staff members  Joey (Sir Max) and Jeremy (Fat McStink), discussed the potential revival of the game. With the help of a band of players, a contest was held and the winners won a registration key (alpha key) to play when the game was launched in October of 2013. The revival of ToonTown was now real. Semi-Beta and Beta opened in June of 2014, but if you did not have a beta key, your playtime was limited. One year after Disney announced the closing of ToonTown Online, ToonTown Rewritten announced that all players would be able to login and play, celebrating their grand opening and first anniversary with ToonFest 2014.

Today we hopped on and played for a few hours. It sure was great having the four of us together again.
