EVERYTHING you need to know about becoming a TESTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Bunny Summers]

There is a server, which in most ways is just like what everyone else plays. It has 2 full districts on it & one like "Welcome Valley" which is only Toontown Central. Basically, new things like Cattlelog items, new features, HQ's are tested out on here before they are released to everyone else on Open. With seeing the new features though, you have a responsibility as a tester, which is to report bugs, glitches, disconnects, and other problems experienced while playing to Disney by submitting a bug report (yes, even the "fun" bugs must be reported). After all, that's what you're there for....to help Disney fix potential problems before they are released.

Now before you jump up & say "I want to see all the cool stuff that's coming out! Where do I sign up?" keep in mind a couple of things:

1) Search this site for test updates. Is there any new ones that are significant? If not, they are probably not accepting new testers. You can sign up, but you will be put on a waiting list basically until they need new testers. Sometimes, depending on when they need testers, it could be a short wait, it could be as long as a 6 month wait to get in. You have to be patient. When they need testers, they'll tell us. Sometimes, if you subscribe to the Toontown Times, it'll say that they're looking for testers. (To subscribe to the Toontown Times, look in your E-mail Preferences under: E-Mail Newsletter -- Toontown’s monthly e-mail update. All the latest news on the greatest game in the Tooniverse!) Usually it'll look something like this:

Want to be the first to play the latest ToonTown features? Want to voice your opinions about ToonTown with the game's developers? We are searching for a select group of Toons to participate in ongoing testing of the latest and greatest features for Disney's ToonTown Online. A special server is being set up now to test new features of ToonTown before the rest of the world gets to see them. To be able to access the server, you must first sign up for our waiting list. Periodically, as we need more people on the server, we will pull names off the waiting list and send an acceptance email with instructions on how to access the server. To get on the waiting list for the test server, please sign up with your current ToonTown subscription username and password that you use to play the game using the web page below. http://play.toontown.com/signUpForTest.php If you are interested in participating on this test server, you must be a paid ToonTown subscriber. Playing on the test server is free of charge to subscribers, is by invitation only, and access may be revoked at any time. You will still have full access to the normal ToonTown servers under your current account name while participating in the test. The test version will be installed into a different directory and will not interfere with the official version. Your account settings and Toons will not be shared between the test and official servers. Playing ToonTown on the test server may not be suited for everyone. Due to the nature of this testing, the server may be unavailable for extended periods of time and we will be changing or deleting Toons to support the testing. We will be experimenting with chat features and game play features that are not fully mature, might crash, or otherwise hinder your experience. Additionally, please note that the standard WDIG Terms of Use http://disney.go.com/legal/conditions_of_use.html and WDIG Privacy Policy http://disney.go.com/legal/privacy_policy.html will still apply to this test server. We hope to hear from you soon! The ToonTown Development Team

2) How many districts are there? There are only two districts as I said, plus one like Welcome Valley. That means if there are NO buildings that you need to work tasks, you must simply wait for one to drop. This means a LOT of waiting sometimes. A LOT!

3) When there is nothing new on Test, you will have probably at most 5 people online to help you. AT MOST. So you're going to do a lot of solo-ing through to get your tasks. Not so hard at first, but when you reach a certain level it's VERY DIFFICULT.

4) Do I get to use an old toon from open? You don't get a maxxed toon or one of your toons from your other account. You have to start with a 15 laffer & make a brand new toon. This means that you have to level up, like I said, often by yourself. Once you are on Test, it is your responsibility to develop your Test toon's laff and gags so that you will be ready and able to test the new playgrounds and Headquarters when they come out. While some of the new features previewed on Test are available to all toons of all gag and laff levels, other features will only be available to toons who have reached a certain level ON THEIR TEST TOON.

5) What does a tester do? Your job as a tester is to report bugs, glitches, disconnects, and other problems you're having while playing on Test. If you don't want them to fix bugs, then you're not really doing your job as a tester. If all you're doing is checking out the new material, then you're not doing your job, either.

6) I recieved a confirmation e-mail that I'm a tester, now what? If you get a confirmation letter in your e-mail saying you were accepted, you will use the same username & password as if you logged onto Open server. Then you will create a new toon.

7) Keep in mind that for any reason, Toontown can do a player wipe & delete your toon on Test.

8) Do I have to pay for a test account? Your Test account is free to those who have a Toontown account. That means you have to pay for Toontown to be able to Test. If you aren't paying for Toontown, then you can't be a tester.

If you still want to be a tester, nobody on this site can help you. You must wait until Disney, on their home page, asks if you want to be a tester. Or you may hear it on this site that they are looking for testers. THEN is the time to sign up. You may get accepted, you may not.

For those of you who want to get onto test, here's the sign up link: http://play.toontown.com/signUpForTest.php. Put in your regular name & password (EDIT: Now it will ask you also for your parent password, too. If you don't know it, you or your parents (if you're a child) need to e-mail Disney to get it) & it should tell you that either their not looking for testers or that you have been signed up for the waiting list. YOU ARE NOT ON TEST HOWEVER UNTIL YOU GET YOUR CONFIRMATION E-MAIL STATING THAT YOU GOT ACCEPTED.

NOTE: YOU CANNOT BE A TESTER IF YOU USE A GAME CARD TO PLAY THE GAME. GAME CARDS DO NOT REQUIRE YOU TO HAVE A PARENT PASSWORD AND AS SUCH, THERE IS NO WAY TO VERIFY YOUR PARENT PASSWORD FOR TEST. ALSO, YOU HAVE TO BE AN "OFFICIAL MEMBER OF TOONTOWN", WHICH MEANS YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR A SUBSCRIPTION FOR DISNEY'S TOONTOWN ONLINE IN ORDER FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. AFTER YOUR GAME CARD EXPIRES, YOU WILL BE ASKED IF YOU WANT TO USE A CREDIT CARD TO KEEP THAT ACCOUNT. THEN YOU WILL BE PROMPTED TO MAKE UP A PARENT PASSWORD AND ONLY UNTIL YOU START PAYING USING A CREDIT CARD, CAN YOU BE AN "OFFICIAL MEMBER OF TOONTOWN".

GOOD LUCK!!!

You must've used a different e-mail address then is all I can think about. Have your parents e-mail Disney.

Why do you need your parent password btw? I said above to use your regular log on name & password when signing up for Test.

Bunny, if you havn't noticed yet, this might be a changed feature. Now, if you click http://play.toontown.com/signUpForTest.php, if you are not logged in, you are prompted for your login user+pass, and then your parent password... so that is why you need it.

As Johnny Carson might say "Ahh! I did not know that!"
