I actually got around to updating this after 2-3 months. There wasn't a lot to add, so I decided to add an updates tab.
So what's the big news, you may ask? Well, as of Beta 2, the Toontown Offline staff will be removing Mini-Server compatibility. As to why it was removed, the original leader of the project, Logano, has stated: "Mini-Servers cannot be regulated. Due to this, we feel that they have caused more trouble than they are worth, and are an overall detriment to the community." Now why would he say such a thing? Well, you should note that some servers have been attacked by hackers. Due to this, and the fact that you cannot really administrate/moderate these servers, even if they're your own (there's no ban or kick functionality), this would make ultimate sense as to the fact of the removal of the Mini-Server feature. But there's a lighter side to this. As stated by Logano: "the rest of the development team and I are currently discussing the possibility of an official mini-server that will be available to serve a limited number of people at one time in a future release." More info can be found here. With this being said, this will not kill this list. I know many more Mini-Servers will spawn as Beta 1 continues to circulate. Once Beta 1 is taken off of the Downloads list on the official website, who knows? I might put a download link on this website. I feel bad for any Mac users who never got to experience Mini-Servers. They never got a Beta 1 release. -Ryno
