I've come from Toon Town, I know all about Toon's. I'm a Major PHD person in Toonology, Toonatomy, Toonscience and the way of Toons.
I am also a Toon too.

I assume they are a Toon Army member (For those unaware, Toon Army is the name for Newcastle United Fans)

Kindly type in proper English if you want to point out other's language mistakes.

Google will answer your question however... it's a pretty simple tool to use, you go to www.google.com and type your question. It will then list websites you can visit which contain the information you are looking for:

A "toon" is a tree.

You're welcome ♥

If we don't then how else do you expect FFXIV to get a reputation worse than LoL's? Players have been working towards that crown for months.

Your naivety is showing ♥

I prefer to say character , feels more personal lol. Toon to me reminds me well, of like a cartoon , a joke, a funny. I could care less really what other people prefer to call them though.

And grats on the server move OP!

Can't complain about the original post, it makes no sense. I can't tell if he's quitting, or was going to quit and is now happy and ready to play with his friend. Either way, we hit two pages even before my meaningless post contained herein.

If y'all can't say anything nice then don't talk at all.

Toon was a pretty common way of saying char circa 2000 mmos

Toon just rolls off the tongue. I like one syllable words.

char·ac·ter or av·a·tar is way too long. And saying char instead of toon is even worse.

"I will roll another toon. It will be an awesome DPS that generates a ton of threat."

When someone throws a fit over use of the word "toon" to denote an MMO character, I picture Dwight Shrute trying in vain to make people call him Assistant Regional Manager instead of Assistant to the Regional Manager.

Do you jump down people's throats for saying "aggro" instead of "enmity," too? Do you know what a "server" is, or can you only understand "worlds"? Hope nobody starts talking about DPS instead of DD...

Every MMO under the sun tries to introduce its own unique nomenclature to describe the same concepts. Some terms stick, others don't. The only reason anyone objects to the word "toon" is because they don't think it sounds "serious" enough for the particular game they take way too seriously. Meanwhile, they seemingly never take people to task for naming their characters "Blood Farts" or "Tony Snark."

The term "toon" to reference a character was around long before WoW.

The only "facepalm" around here, is how many people think all the shit they find annoying originated in WoW.

In some older MMOs (for me, The Realm), it was common for people to call their characters "toons."

Aye, agreed!

... but the internet knows there was and still is only WoW and everything should be compared to WoW since it is the origin of all MMOs ever. Before there was Jesus there was WoW. The creation of all things in the universe started with the big WoW!

You cannot transfer from a legacy server to a non-legacy server.

i try to go on english forum since most of the time i need and play on NA server and guess what. English are the most common language there. Easy to just tell me what word you don't understand and i will try to correct them. no need to go all drama over that.

i tought that too. but he start on midgarstorm like i was. and try to go over Ultros like i am now. that case don't apply i think here

Oh dear, someone has offended the sensibilities of the local pedants! Quick! Burn the heathen! Mock them! All must use the terminology that they ascribe to or be purged!

Or we could just keep using the words that are commonly accepted as, in the true spirit of language, they are clearly understood.

using the word "toon" on this forum is just like using the word "ironic" anywhere on the internet, instant hilarity, just add anonymity

Yes very nice alienate people because you have a stick up your arses half the people who mock are nothing more than grifers you damn well know what the op meant and you choose to pick them apart shame on mods allowing it.

This is a community and if your goal is to dump on anyone who does not meet your high standards then you might want to read the terms of service of forums use.

there are many ways to correct someone by being nice no need to be rude and hostile.
congrats on server transfer and enjoy the game, ignore the correction police they need to feel important in a video game at the cost of making someone else feel bad.

Supongo que cada quien le llama a las cosas como las entiende y se acostumbra a decirles inicialmente

Por ejemplo, yo le digo a mis personajes "mono" o "mona" dependiendo si es hombre o mujer, generalmente se les dice monos a los personajes de historietas y a los dibujantes se les dice moneros, como generalmente me muevo en circulos de dibujantes en mi tiempo libre, me sale natural decirles asi al referirme a mis personajes en juegos.

Then again, if you are into a community with his own terminology, you should try to stick to it to ease communication, is rude to try to push your way of speak, but its also rude to point out something that you surely got what was a person referring to and saying that he/she should speak proper language. So... just keep it nice

*first half of post in Spanish to ironically prove a point*

Either you're on something good, or Google translate butchered your spanish more than I would have with my 3 years from HS.

Anyway, I am taking a stab in the dark here as to your point, but using the word toon instead of character is vastly different than using Spanish on an English forum.

Toon is widely accepted in it's use, and unlike that stuff up above, everyone knows exactly what the OP is trying to say. People just have nothing better to do than get all up in a huff over "toon". I think from here on out I'll start using it if only for the shits and giggles that inevitably follows.

I don't know how to feel that you pointed my Spanish as the one less legible, as I am born, raised and living in Mexico hahaha, but yeah, of course I was exaggerating the point by posting in Spanish.

But as for me, it is actually the first time I've seen toon used to refer to a char in a MMO context, but then again, I only played FFXI for the last 6~7 years, a couple of free MMOs before that and even before that even the betas of RO (and private servers when it went p2p). Still, as I said, I got the reference and understand the need to poke fun and stuff, this community has some kind of bad vibe when someone shows its WoW or FFXI roots... its kinda scary

Nothing against your Spanish. The Google translation was quite interesting though ;) Poorly worded joke on my part I think..

Hey, when you ask for a carbonated beverage do you call it a soda, a pop or a coke?

There is only one correct answer, choose carefully. :cool:

Soda, of course! I have a lot of family in the mid-west, and those silly people insist on calling it "pop". Pfft.

Problem with 'toon' is it is in no way an accurate description of what you're referring to. A toon is a character in a cartoon, especially 80s cartoons like Tiny Toon Adventures. It is not a character in a maturely-aimed MMORPG.
