Toontown Beta Complete!


January 10, 2002
What's New In Version 1.0.13
  • IMPORTANT: Gag experience levels changed! We have raised the experience levels for uncovering new gags. This means you probably lost access to several gags you already earned. We realize how horrible this is, but please understand one of the main reasons for supporting a beta is to balance the difficulty and playability of the game.

  • Fixed a few more server crashes.

  • Tweaked Cog behavior for more aggresive take-over strategy. You should start to see more Cog buildings in the world.

  • If you ask a Toon to be friends and they say no, you will not be able to ask again for a brief time.

  • Fixed several cracks and model problems in the world.

  • Improved name filter.

  • Re-fixed bug that caused crash in certain cases when talking to the same NPC Toon twice in the same session.

  • If you Alt-F4 in the middle of a battle to avoid losing, the Cogs will take all your gags and you will end up sad in the Playground just as if you lost the battle.

  • Upgraded server hardware.
