We have obtained a list of many of the e-mail addresses of parents who requested news and information e-mails from Tootsville.com. It’s uncertain exactly when this list was made, but it seems to date from around August or September of 2009.<\/p>\n

This list has the e-mail addresses of parents who ticked the option \u201cplease send me news and updates by e-mail\u201d when they logged in to Tootsville.com around that time.<\/p>\n

Beginning now, and running through Friday, we’ll be reaching out to them with a message like the following.<\/p>\n

Hopefully, this will let our legacy players reserve their Toot names<\/a> now, and maybe find some old friends who haven’t heard about the new game yet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Update: <\/strong>there were 5,750 addresses in the list. Naturally, we assume that a lot of those are \u201cno good\u201d after 7 years’ time, but this should help to \u201cget the word out.\u201d<\/p>\n

And, naturally, if you’re still in touch with any legacy players, feel free to share with them the reservation link so that they can reserve their old names, as well.<\/p>\n

Also, the first few e-mails sent out were missing the Social Media links, so some (less than 100) mails had been sent out before they were added.<\/p>\n

The estimated time of completion (sending out the last messages) is around 1pm on Friday. The messages are going out in approximately alphabetical order by e-mail address.<\/p>\n

Long ago, you signed up for news about Tootsville. We want you to know \u2014 It’s coming back!<\/p>\n

http:\/\/Tootsville.org\/<\/a><\/h2>\n

Tootsville.ORG is going to be new, free, all-ages game, a follow-up to the Tootsville.COM you remember.<\/p>\n

Did we mention it’s free? <\/strong>\u2014 actually, really, truly free, with nothing to buy \u2014 no in-game advertisements, no subscriptions, no paying for upgrades, and no in-game purchases of any kind.<\/p>\n

The new game will still be a non-violent, creative virtual world, but we’re welcoming activities for adults and teens, as well as kids<\/strong>. Your whole family can play, build, and explore together.<\/p>\n

Reserve your Toot’s name<\/h2>\n

Before we even go on-line, you can reserve your Toot’s name in the new game.<\/p>\n
