Why do people call characters "toons"?
-
9 RepliesIt's an age thing any one who uses that term is more than likely under 18 or even 16 nothing wrong with that just the way the young ones talk
-
I use it, because during my ten years as a WoW addict, that's how we referred to our characters.
-
It's an MMO term that dates back to God knows when. Most players that have played MMO'S before use this term.
-
Makes perfect sense to me.. I use the term toon when I play an mmo that allows me to create, customize and personalize my character. I'm nearing the age 30 and still find the word toon normal for mmo as a gamer..
-
When MMOs were new and exiting thing, people like me used that term. Old habits die hard.

Calling characters toons has been around for over 10 years. I never use the term but don't see a problem with it.

I call them characters but I have used toon before when playing MMO's. Even on a Destiny I use main and alts to refer to my characters. Just different lingo used in MMO's.

Toontown was a game that a bunch of kids played and the characters were called toons so maybe that's it.

Same reason we say mobs spawned while i was afk.

Toons... Just sounds dumb.
-
Why do you call it a character? That implies it has mental qualities of a sort all by itself. It should be an avatar or some such term because the player provides any character qualities. It just sounds silly imo.

I've only seen one person call characters toons
