Toontown launched a major new expansion with gardening.
All I know about it is that you can buy a gardening kit at your estate, plant jellybeans to grow flowers, sell the flowers, plant gags to make gag-trees to make your gags more powerful. Apparently you can get more laff points as you become more proficient at growing flowers, which require different combinations of jellybeans.
I'm not sure if you can grow more jellybeans.

Does anyone here play this? I resubscribed for a month last January and have been thinking about checking it out again for a couple of weeks.

They certainly make un-subbing a royal pain. Call the 1-800 number. Hold for 30 minutes, tell them yes- cancel me.

Hmm, I must have just picked good times to unsubscribe I guess. I've never had to wait at all. The last time I resubscribed I had to call in to get my character restored but I just checked it and this time all I have to do is give them my credit card number.
But yes, having to phone in to unsubscribe is just plain stupid.

My wife quit WoW and she just plays toon town now. From what I sense it is more like playing an arcade game for her and fits in nicely with her short but frequent ability to play, not to mention our 3.5 yr son can understand enough to actually play as well. not that mom shares much :) I think another draw for her is the lack of chat, she doesn't have to put up with the stupid like she did in WoW, though she says she does miss the social side of meeting actual adulting acting adults.
She also spends way too much time decorating and rearranging the toons house and is excited about the gardening additions.

I do, but sporatically. I've never unsubscribed, because it's relatively cheap and because I want to support the game. They get a lot of things right. Like the whole chat thing is great for kids. Content is added at a reasonable pace. My toon is at the point now where I'm spending all my time in Donald's Dreamland, and it's a pain because I don't play regularly, and my tasks are things like 8 4-story buildings and 25 number crunchers in DDL and so on. I take out a couple of cogs and have to get more gags. Slow because I'm not in buildings much, I'm soloing mostly. My social network in the game is non existent. |

My son and I have pretty much kept only Toontown and CoX as our paying games, with BF2 and Titan Quest being the others we've played lately.
My name is Sheriff Banjo Beanzapper and my son's is Bob. Drop me a hi if any of you are playing when I'm on.

Have to call to unsubscribe. Have to call to resubscribe. Big no-no in my book. Business lost for good.

I'd be interested to see how gardening is in Toontown. One of my favorite aspects of the game is its mini-games. For example, they do Fishing better than anyone out there. I can actually have fun sitting around fishing for more than an hour. I'm one of those who has been too lazy to call the 800 number to unsubscribe but I removed it from my computer about a month ago so I don't feel like installing it to check gardening our. ;)

Yeah. I like the theory of it, but it looks like crap and can't be customized (there are two options... white or hard to read grey). |

Blackguard is pretty sharp when even when he's got a few drinks in him. He'll read between the line.

These discussions of avatars and sigs always makes me sad, because I turned them off, but not sad enough to turn them back to showing.

That was a lovely letter and even kept in the spirit of this solemn holiday, Talk Like A Pirate Day.
Good luck!

My avatar is Gaara of the Sand. If anyone knows a way to adblock to stop just Signe's, that'd be helpful. I tried to block it but it comes back when she switches. |

I don't see how your avatard is any better looking than my avatard! What's wrong with you people, anyway? IT'S A PIRATE BABY! It's not gross or bloody or pukey looking! Geez. |

Too soon to tell. Hopefully I'll have something coming after I do my thing in Denver for a while. I'll let you folks know here if/when that happens. |

Did the thing with Sony and bringing Toontown to the PS2 ever get off the drawing boards? I remember a few posts saying that they were supposed to help get it ported over to the PS2 when Disney signed the deal with SOE. Haven't heard a peep out of either side...

They all look like feet to me. (I meant that in the best possible way and stuff)

I started with nothing, and I still have most of it
I'm not a complete idiot... Some parts are still on backorder.

Feet are wonderful. If it weren't for feet, we'd all just fall over.

Congrats!
Tell Todd McFarlane to stop allowing elitist cocksucker assholes to work at Atomic Comics. The goddamn place is a cesspool. At the very least he could try and hire a funny guy who makes fun of all those assholes. Like a clown with a knife.
Make good games! Kisses!
