I played Toontown during beta and LOVED it. It is so fun and addicting! Thing is, Toontown is more of a GAME game rather than a virtual chat interface like VMK is. The "toontalker" list of phrases didn't bother me very much because it's very easy to exchange codes with other players so they can become your "secret friends" and you can chat normally with them, without the blasted VMK dictionary!

But sadly, I stopped playing after it went live and they made everyone pay.
LOL, and if you think the toontalker is bad NOW...you should have seen it during beta. Man oh man....you were practically limited to saying "Hi" and "Let's go fight the cogs!"
