Today is going to be a short look at Toontown Rewritten. This past weekend they expanded the amount of time everyone could play. If you got a slot or waited in the playline, when your turn came up you got 6 hours instead of 3 hours of play time on Saturday and Sunday.
For me it was, really, I don’t feel a need to play the game longer than 3 hours. I just need to be able to play some every day or so for an hour or so to keep my character moving along.
During their weekend push, they got a Toontown population that exceeded 1000 — and they said things were running smooth too.
That might have been their perspective. For me, and for Nathan, it was generally smooth, unless you tried to switch districts, or go through a door, change streets, anything that was a transition of that sort could make you log off and have to log back in.
One time I had to switch districts 5 times to find a building that wasn’t a cog building, so I could turn a task in. And 4 of those times I got logged out and had to sign back in.
I also spent a half hour at the beginning of my time signing in, and being told it couldn’t find the servers. When I finally did get in, it a message from the admins came up that they were taking things down for maintenance in 60 seconds. And it took a good half hour after that before I could sign in again. So I wouldn’t say things were smooth.
But things were better. I was able to find people to help me take back a building, and complete that task. So I advanced from Donald’s Dock to Daisy’s Garden.
