That's the designers' job, to get you involved enough that you "have to" purchase a membership. If it were me, I would have used this experience as an opportunity to teach my kid about not getting emotionally vested in video games. They're no that important.

Please read my response at Zimbio on the following link: http://preview.tinyurl.com/cjfwfy What you state here is precisely the conclusion I myself reached, after a first hand experience with the game. There is absolutely no notification that the "gag quest", or rather said the INTRODUCTORY quest your newly-created avatar is about to be engaged on was designed in a way were you simply weren't meant to finish it, meaning that subsequent 10+ hrs that people may decide to invest on the game will prove to be 10+ wasted hours, because there was no way of telling that the free account/trial account, is entirely restricted in that just as you find that the initial "gag quest" is undoable, your advancement further in the game is completely nullified because game mechanics impede you from progressing with the sole purpose of purchasing the game. Is as if Disney bank on the possibility of creating and endearment/addiction on potential players with the intention of later on demanding payment in order to continue enjoying the matters of your endearment/addiction. If you yourself ever venture to have a close look at the game, you'll noticed that all the adversaries within the game are shapped akin to "business" related things, the manner by which Disney leads this business venture (without complete honesty) leads me to believe that ToonTown is precisely a personal parody of Disney Inc. themselves, where the so-called "family entertainment" always comes with a price as top priority. It is after my 8-year old brother's, and my own, experience with ToonTown that I advised him that this game was nothing more than a baiting game, and that his experienced with the game would be absolutely tampered unless he acceded to the demands of showing the dollars. Reason why I advised him to try his luck in other more promising alternatives (that offer a greater range of things to do for nothing, but that gives you perks and exclusive content if you decide to pay for them, without giving you a sensation of being obliged to do so) like Dream Of Mirror Online. I sincerely hope that parents become more conscious of the unscrupulous business sense of those companies that have their little children as prime targets of their advertisement and maneuvering, and take the necessary measures to stifle the effects they may have on them.
