Ooooh, a notebook .

I mean, to each his own, but is anyone really going to buy a years worth of ToonTown because of a spiral notebook?

[The_Farmer]

I have no clue, sounds a little cheesy but I am sure it's going to work for some people.

[Gabbana]

Definitely not.

You know why? Because it's one of those little notepad things you could fit into your purse or something. It's not a '70 page flip spiral notebook.'

It flips from the TOP. Those ones annoy me cause you cant write that much on a line.

Now, if it was a regular spiral notebook, than maybe :P [Ok, not really, only been playing 2 months and i'm already losing interest]

WOW! A special lenticular cover!

Disney sure is good at making a 1 dollar product sound like its worh millions...

My sister is the exact kind of idiot that would fall for this cheapo notebook.

I bet there are quite a few children out there begging their parents to get TT so that they can get their TOTALLY AWESOME NOTEPAD! Poor poor kids, if only they'd realize that Disney is using their innocence as a way to make money. I bet I can find one notebook just like this at like a drugstore or something, for less than 10 cents.

EDIT: I just noticed this. Does anyone find it hilarious that ToonTown actually said save money with this "deal"...

Well people sell shirts with logos at high prices while a regular one sells much cheaper :P (Don't forget all those people that pay anything for someone's autograph xD)

This deal actually does save you money, as you pay less for each month by paying in advance, and Disney throws in free a special Toontown themed item. I don't see why people are acting like you pay ONLY for the notebook

The point here is not, that there are people who going to get a years subscription just because of a notebook. Most parents are not going to be interested in doing so just for one, even if kids say they want one.

However if they're fairly new to toontown, maybe they took out monthly just to see how it would go, and now they're hooked.

They've been thinking about upgrading subs to 6 monthly or yearly but wasn't sure which yet. Well if you know you probably play for a year and if you've just started out you proably will, then you may as go for yearly, and get the notebook.

So you're not going to upgrade just for notebook, but if you were thinking of upgrading anyways, this may just persuade some to go for the bigger option. And of course you make biggest savings too.

A cheap way of get a few extra subs in, especially quickly? Of course.

But then they didn't create TT just for the FUN of making it, it makes them money too. No surprise then that they would find ways of getting a little more in subs by offering little things as a tempter.

Wow. You still didn't get the camera from five months ago?

Maybe they ran out of cameras in their factory or whatever?

Well originally it WAS made for the fun of it(little bit of a history lesson here xD ).

You mean when it was fully released after beta testing it was free?

Well maybe when they first made it, they wasn't sure it would take off, so went cautiously, especially due to originality, compared to the other online shooters and games out there.

But once they knew it would be worth investing in and expanding, it became a money making franchise.

It maybe Disney (usually seen as a fun family company), but lets not forget they are there to make money, that is way of business after all. They would never make something just for fun of it, even if was free, they still make money from it other ways (advertising etc)

Where'd the game come from? I said Toontown not Toontown Online

The guy who helped draw Toontown was Richard Williams, and he did that practicly for the fun of it.(which did cause him to loose a lot of money and his amazing movie)
Then the first ideas of Toontown were from Walt Disney himself.

But as a game, it was made originally for the fun of it more or less. Toon Tag was the very first modern lived game based on Toontown, and which can still be found today at Innoventions at Walt Disney World.
