Embarrased? Need Advice

[crystal_rose64]

Ok, I'm 12 and I found out about toontown while my little brother waz watching Toon Disney. Anywayz i played the trial and i thought it waz a really kool and awsome game. Sooo....I want to buy it and stuff, but my younger brother thinks im stupid to play a game for 'babys' and my younger sister is always saying 'youre STILL playing that baby game?' anywayz, i think im to embarrased to ask my parents 2 buy it. What should I do?!? I really want the game.

Just ask your parents, I've never really gotten the point of trying to be cool. and I still don't, if you like it, fine, ask your parents, tell your siblings to hush up

There are few things in life that we come to enjoy and I don't think you should stop playing because of what others are saying. If you like playing ToonTown, keep playing... cause if quit because of what others think, you will regret it in the future. Everything you walk away from or stop doing because of others opinions you will regret at some point in the future. (Know from experience) Have fun and don't worry about what others think, as long as you have fun playing.

Not to mention the fact that most of the players are the parents.
Just as many young at heart as young here.

And I thought the same too, that I was too old, I got it for my son and he got annoyed with a task one day. I said I would finish it for him while he was in school...been hooked ever since.

Actually there is more to this game than most people think--I don't think its a baby game...You have to think about what your doing and when u get to DL in a killer 5+ you have to keep yourself and everyone else from getting sad. It takes strategy to play this game. You have to think about what your doing. Babies have no concept of strategy or thinking about what their doing. I say if you like the game ask your parents to get it for you. Besides look at it this way...if your parents get the game for you and your the only one playing it than when you max out your 1st toon you'll be able to make 5 more! Don't listen to what others say, if your having fun that's all that matters. Life is supposed to be fun. Your only 12, you have plenty of time to sweat the big stuff when you grow up...for now be a kid and have fun!!!

And when you do get it....better not let them see how cool it is when you get your toon going...
you'll be fighting for your turn to play.

I'm 21 and still playing.

Basically, you should not give in just because your brothers and sisters think it's a baby game. It's not. Game age range says age 7 and up. Afaik, babies classify as age birth to 3, after which they fall into the toddler range.

If you play it a little, you'll find that it requires a lot of reasoning and thinking as well as collaboration and communication.

Also, consider the fact that the theme is pretty mature. I doubt it if a baby knows what a loan shark is.

Finally, consider that half of the population here are actually working adults or teenagers. We even have some seniors among us

Bottom line: It's not a baby game. They probably think so because they think that anything Disney is for babies. In that case, ask them why they're watching Disney cartoons in the first place. Then ignore them. Ask your parents to sign up anyway. No offence, but if you ask me, it sounds like it's your siblings who're babies.

Try not to let other peoples opinions bother you.

Even as an adult, that is a hard lesson to learn. But rest assured that there are probably MORE adults playing ToonTown, than kids. And we all ACT like kids, so you know it's gotta be cool

I hope you get your parents to sign you up on ToonTown, you'll make so many friends and have such a great time, that pretty soon everyone will be begging you to let them make a toon on your account and play Too!

Good Luck!!! Hope to see you in ToonTown!!!
