Toontown: Battle Cogs
built 647 days ago
Toontown is a town inhabited by cartoon characters, similar to the city presented in the cult classic Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Much like the film town of cartoon characters faces a threat from the outside, Disney's Toontown has been invaded by evil cogs that are incapable of taking a joke. Characters must repel the invasion by using gags to destroy the invading robots.

According to the story of Toontown, the Cogs are business-loving robots bent on forever changing Toontown into a business empire. They come in four types: Bossbot (wear brown suits, symbol is a tie), Lawbot (wear blue-grey suits, symbol is a gavel), Cashbot (wear green suits, symbol is a dollar sign), and Sellbot (wear maroon suits, symbol is a bar graph). Cogs come in varying strengths, ranging from the "Level 1" Cogs (which require 6 hit points to defeat), to strong "Level 12" Cogs (which require 200 hit points to defeat).

Part of the fun of playing in Toontown is that it is constantly evolving and changing. In December 2003, Disney introduced the first Cog Headquarters (Cog HQ) neighborhood to Toontown and since then, there have been many more. The Cog HQs adds depth and complexity for experienced players -- those who have been playing long enough to have amassed about 60 or more laff points (points are gained by playing quests in the regular neighborhoods of Toontown).

In keeping with the docile theme, characters don't ever perish in Toontown, they just get sad. The traditional life meter, HP, or health meter is replaced with a Laff Meter. Getting hit by the a Cog's clip on tie, or being wrapped up in red tape depletes the Laff Meter, while just wandering around the playground will slowly build it up again.

Toontown Online is a 3D world inhabited by cartoon characters — Toons — that look they’ve come out of Disney’s classic Mickey Mouse animation. Toontown has been invaded by Cogs — humorless business robots who are bent on turning the world of Toontown into a corporate metropolis. Cogs can’t take a joke, so it’s the Toons’ job to play pranks on them (“gags”) like spraying seltzer in their faces or hitting them with pies.

In keeping with the friendly, cooperative spirit of Toontown, the game designers intentionally left out some of the less-friendly features that are sometimes found in other MMORPGs.[4] For example, Toontown contains no PVP battles, hence one player cannot "kill" another. Players are ... unable to sell or trade items with other players, presumably to avoid issues with potentially unfair transactions. As with any multiplayer game, however, certain actions can be considered annoying or otherwise unwanted.
