Edit: Forgot "other" :P

I've seen both terms thrown around in game and on the forums, so what's everyone's preferance?

Personally I go for character/char, since "toon," if I recall, was originally meant for disney's toontown online. In all honesty, GW isn't about throwing pies at destroyers, squirting flame djinns with water hoses, or dropping anvils on charr. But I'll cut myself off before I /rant too long.

So which is it for you?

You forgot about avatar. =P

I prefer character(well, char actually), but I'll use another term if someone mentions another first in a thread. They're pretty much interchangeable.

I find myself using "guy". "Lemme hop on my other guy." Short and sweet for me.

Prefer character myself, doesn't sound as childish as toon lol. Toon just sounds whack lol

FlamingMetroid · Nov 30, 2008, 06:35 PM // 18:35

I use "char"

Abedeus · Nov 30, 2008, 06:57 PM // 18:57

Char, character. Toon is just as stupid as Polish girls saying "sweet" all the time.

Toon = cartoon imo.

Ive always went for character, dont think much of Toon.

**cosyfiep** · Nov 30, 2008, 07:38 PM // 19:38

toon is quicker to type out, character only requires my left hand....so 50/50 depends on what I feel like typing out.

pterodactyl · Nov 30, 2008, 08:35 PM // 20:35

oh god toon drive me up the wall. i agree with whoever said "guy" or sometimes i just go with "person"

Sleeper Service · Nov 30, 2008, 08:48 PM // 20:48

depends on context....on forums toon/character in game...handle.

Fishdert · Nov 30, 2008, 09:13 PM // 21:13

I use "guy" or "char" mostly. I hate the word "toon"!! It's so childish sounding and immature! It sounds lame. That word drives me nuts and yes, it does remind me of ToonTown as well.

Earth · Nov 30, 2008, 09:18 PM // 21:18

I usually use "thing" or "thingy".

Grumpy · Nov 30, 2008, 09:42 PM // 21:42

I find myself using guy, even though the majority of my characters tend to be female.

mrmango · Nov 30, 2008, 09:49 PM // 21:49

I hate toon too. glad I'm not in the minority.

I say char, sometimes character. Saying guy seems best

Yang Whirlwind · Nov 30, 2008, 11:16 PM // 23:16

It's also how almost everyone i've met in gw calls them.

Nightow · Dec 01, 2008, 12:19 AM // 00:19

Yeah... I could never say char cause of this guy here.

So normally I'll say either toon or "my rit", "my war", "my mule", so on and so forth.

AidinSwiftarrow · Dec 01, 2008, 01:47 AM // 01:47

I use "char", "character", or "guy". Sometimes I say "brb, hopping on my ranger/dervish/etc."

Rhamia Darigaz · Dec 01, 2008, 01:52 AM // 01:52

i generally use the term "carakter" but if i know a certain term pisses someone off i'll use it while talking to them.

having said that, brb OP, ima hop on my other toon and drop a safe on some charr.

Kerwyn Nasilan · Dec 01, 2008, 02:35 AM // 02:35
