You know, our marketing team told us not to reference "The Final Countdown" in any of our posts again. The Big Wigs are stressing out about the legal rights, and marketing says that pop culture references are so 90s. It was then when we realized that our marketing team was entirely composed of sentient cogs and were immediately fired on the spot. I'll reference catchy songs any time I want, mind you!
Now, break out the Europe CDs and prepare to have it stuck in your head for an entire week, because this isn't any ordinary countdown. It isn't a countdown, either. This is the Countdown to the Countdown of Toontown Rewritten Beta!
You heard it right, fellas. For the next week we're going to be doing Daily Update posts to give you a clear view of what's to come in this first version of Toontown Rewritten Beta. We have list of release notes longer than a blog post, and boy are we excited to talk about them. Numerous advancements have been made not only for servers and optimization, but also a boatload of new content.
To wrap it all up, at the end of the week we're going to be hitting it off with the announcement of the Beta Release Date, as well as the start of something you've all been itching to hear about for a long time: The Beta Key Giveaways! All of next week we will be giving out plenty of keys to go around through our website, and existing players will be able to get their friends into Beta by earning keys through testing. It's going to be a lot of fun for everyone, and we have some exciting plans for it.
Be sure to stop by every day this week at update time to keep up with the Daily Updates and get all of the juicy details on what's to come. These aren't any ordinary Daily Updates, though. We couldn't cram all of the content into one Super Saturday, so every day will have an update the size of a Super Saturday! Beta is just around the corner, and we are all just as excited as you are. It's time to get this game going!

Its been really long and I've been thinking hard. You have been very kind to rewrite toontown, For a lot of people cared for toontown ever so dearly. Everyone wishes for beta keys but why can't you just give them out to everyone. Everyone clearly deserves it because Disney shut down three major games Pirates of The Caribbean, Toontown, and Pixie hollow. I was a MAJOR fan of these games and wish for everyone to play toontown rewritten at the same time. I hope you understand. - Sincerely, Pepsi, Your Inspired Fan

I must thank you and the entire TTR team for doing all of this work. If only it could be an open beta, then everyone could play; but as you know that would definitely crash the servers. Good luck to all in their goal of getting a Beta Key!

I just want to thank the people working on bring the game back to life for taking time out of their busy schedule and be able to recreate wonderful childhood memories that we all shared. You guys are truly amazing.
