The only malicious behavior our team has ever had to deal with is the moderation of our Discord server. What we were presented with this time was something new and foriegn to us. With access to our client and server code, many exploits were performed on our Test Server.
Good, because it meant we could patch them up before officially releasing v1.0. Bad, because we didn’t want it to ruin the experiences of our players. At first, we tried some temporary solutions. Our goal was to make sure nobody was coming into the game, spouting foul language and clogging up the server with bots. After that, we would look at assessing the situation and figuring out a more permanent fix. The temporary solutions failed to work well, and for a good few weeks we were left frantically scratching our heads. Imagine trying to plug up the holes in a broken pool, but every time you succeed, a new hole pops up. As a last-ditch effort, we eventually decided to add a new feature- whitelisting. By adding a whitelist to the game, we could control the flow of people coming into our Test Server, thus preventing exploiters. And ever since we’ve added the whitelist, things have been great. It was unfortunate we had to go this route, as it created an extra barrier of entry for entering the Test Server. Regardless, over 600 people have been whitelisted to date, and we couldn’t be more thankful for your patience regarding it. So now, I bet you’re wondering: What is the permanent solution? Well, I’m glad you asked! Lucky for us, whitelisting didn’t just serve our purposes for this one situation, but it will also serve as a neat feature for server hosters too. #TOONTOWN OFFLINE V2 MULTIPLAYER PATCH#.Subsequently, every player was given membership for the remaining time of the game. On August 20, 2013, Disney announced that after ten years of operation, Toontown Online was being shut down permanently on September 19, 2013. In fact, our team was utterly shocked to see such a post made to a community we have frequented and supported for many years. We would like to clearly state that Toontown Offline is not host to harmful and dangerous material.

Schell later clarified that free-to-play gaming on mobile phones was cutting into the profitability of subscription-based gaming on desktop computers. In June 2015, Jesse Schell hinted that Toontown Online closed due to becoming unsustainable in its business model (subscription-based downloadable RPG).
