EQOA was out and within the first year into the game, it was ..

"hey man, I made a new toon"
"what's your toon's name, I'll add you"
"I have no more toon space"

I have zero respect for internet talk and flat out ignore anyone whom says 'toon' when talking about a character.

char is not fun to say in your head when you read it.

Toon is.
