It was a strange feeling, like seeing a small fragment of my life frozen in time for the last 15 years. Seeing so many people gathered at once was exactly how I remembered the game. Usually they'd be spread across the entire world, but this time almost everyone was situated inside the event area. It's one that's split up across around four servers, with each one only able to house around 500 toons. I know 1700 players is hardly a feat these days, but for a game that has technically been dead since 2013, it's a heaving crowd. Was I expecting a couple hundred people? Sure! Was I expecting around 1700 cartoon animals slowing down my 2023 rig to a slideshow and servers buckling because of how many people were swarming to a single zone? Absolutely not. Every year Toontown Rewritten throws Cartoonival, an event that begins on September 19 and celebrates the life of the original game. Turns out I wasn't the only one on a little decade of death nostalgia trip. ![]() I haven't played it for the last few years, but its looming anniversary gave me a real hankering to return. My attempt to latch onto a small piece of childhood happiness was met with success, finding the same game I knew and loved albeit significantly less populated. I actually played Toontown Rewritten back in 2016 after getting hit with a wave of nostalgia while having a college-related crisis. It largely remains an accurate rendition, though the community has since implemented updates like additional animals for the character creation, new boss buildings and an upcoming expansion to the map with a brand-new zone. Toontown Rewritten launched a few weeks after its official counterpart bit the dust, and has continued to live on in the decade since. It was a reveal that was met with mixed responses: Some were happy to see their favourite game continuing to live on, while others were more apprehensive about whether such a thing could exist. An entirely faithful recreation that would be totally unmonetised, a way to keep the community alive and thriving. Within hours of its death, Toontown Rewritten's announcement emerged from the ashes. This new UI has a full screen grid with all the available props, along with categories, searching, and favoriting props to completely reinvent the way you use the Prop Generator.You see, Toontown Online may have closed its doors a decade ago, but the game never really went away. With our next update, we’re adding a whole new UI to select props from. Currently, you must repeatedly scroll through our massive (319 props prior to this update and growing!) selection of props one at a time through the left and right arrows. One of the Prop Generators biggest limitations is the selection UI. With the Prop Generator, players can do nearly anything from simply adding a lamp in a nice spot to creating entire new areas! In our next update, the Prop Generator gets EVEN BETTER! ![]() The biggest way players can express their creativity is through our Prop Generator. ![]() This, however, is far from the case!
