Alpha

Doctor Surlee travels back in time to October 26, 1998 to begin "The Rewritten Experiment."

Alpha was the first development stage of Toontown Rewritten before Beta where only players with access to an alpha key could enter Toontown, which launched on October 28, 2013 and ended on April 20, 2014 with the Toon Council Presidential Elections.

Definition

Alpha (uppercase Α, lowercase α) is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. In the system of Greek numerals it has a value of 1. Β, β

In English, the noun "Alpha" is used as a synonym for "beginning", or "first" (in a series), reflecting its Greek roots.

Pre-Alpha

Pre-Alpha was the very first version of Toontown Rewritten before the game was released for an actual Alpha test. At this point, only the staff members could play and test the game before releasing it to the public for Alpha testing. Sir Max uploaded a YouTube video showing footage of Toontown Rewritten Pre-Alpha.
