They are not cartoons. The graphics have progressed much since your WOW playing. They are not "toons" in ESO, they are "Characters". They are people too!!! They have feelings too!!!! Leave Toony Alone!!!!

Catflinger✭✭✭The term dates from before the time of WoW, if I am not mistaken --it may even originally be a console thing.
You aren't the only person who dislikes the term, but it is long-entrenched gamer jargon, and I have to say that railing against its use isn't going to get you anywhere.

I think I shall start calling my characters toons, just out of spite.Edited by Blackwolfe5 on May 12, 2014 10:05PM2 -
Korozenn✭✭✭✭Not a thread for Customer Support at all, but even then, this is just a term we've come up to use since playing MMOs for an extended amount of time.
"Toons" is easier to understand in context than "Characters" because they both have the same meaning at the end of the day, with the difference being one word being used to supplement the other. If it wasn't for us saying "toons" all the time, we'd be saying "char(s)," which is kind of awkward (as mentioned previously) when put to extensive use in conversation.
I certainly wouldn't say "char" in voice chat. ._.Edited by Korozenn on May 12, 2014 10:06PM0 -

You are correct. It did originate before WOW, but WOW was the first wide use of it in a game instead of a shortened name for cartoon as first seen in a 1985 movie.1 -

Customer service forum is for general discussion. We can't talk about open tickets or anything else here because that violates the rules. Go down the list in CS and see how many are real CS threads. You have to go past the first 5 threads to even get to one dealing with a CS issue. For CE issue please report them in game.0 -

I second that. My brother and I used the term "toon" since EverQuest and Anarchy Online. It's definitely been used before WoW made it more mainstream.Edited by Korozenn on May 12, 2014 10:09PM2 -

Pixels that were designed by a person, created on a computer. That is like saying a picture of you taken with a camera is a cartoon because it is just pixels on a page created by technology.`Edited by PVT_Parts on May 12, 2014 10:10PM0
