    Crazy how I'm enjoyed the game again after so many years. I started in 2013, now I'm 20 enjoying a kids game I grew up with. I noticed there's an increased number of returning players for nostalgia reasons and most tend to stay longer, like me. It makes me happy that the game has not shut down after so many years

    Animal jam is so fucking different now, its so empty and i swear everyone online is 18+ and on the spectrum and they just vibe. There was an argument in coral sands like last week and everyone there just gathered around to watch it like we were transported back to high school watching a school fight. Afterwards a couple of us just vibed as eyeballs in the water, talking about poop and fnaf lmao i was competing with someone on who would be the last eyeball left and i stayed there for 5 hours not even joking. I won btw, i legit started at like 2am and went to bed at 7am. Mental illness man.

    my experience with animal jam as a kid was that i wasn’t rare and could never get rare, but i had been treated with respect because i was a member. if my membership ran out i couldn’t get another until the next christmas, and i would be treated worse on the game, actively ignored, and talked down to. it wasn’t awful, cuz it wasn’t like, real, but it was annoying. the game was conditioning little kids to be classist 😂😂

    "The most sought after items are the most racist" the uproar when any way to get headdresses was removed from the game was insane. I think AJHQ could've prevented this if they just replaced the sprite for the headress and renamed it something else. Like it would be easy to fit the shilouette as like, a lion mane or something

    This is such a great video! also btw i absolutely love your outfit! i also did the whole warning people about scammers thing like it was a full time job haha. And yeah i love the more mature vibe it's got going on now since the playerbase has grown up. I remember back in 2015 i'd get in to so many arguements with people cause they were being rude right out of the blue, copying my outfits for a reaction, etc, but there's literally none of that anymore which is very nice to see, it's so much more chill and pleasant to play now. i also lost my first spiked collar to a trust trade. it was a pink long, and i remember crying and i ended up quitting for like 4 months until i heard about the possibility of getting spikes in lucky clovers so i came back to the game for that and got a red long from it lmao
    i quit aj back in 2020 cause of feral, i got into wave 7 of beta testing and it was my new hyperfixation and it became my new virtual home basically, which previously was aj. i loved feral to the moon and back so much. i'd always dreamed of a a game like aj but for 13+ audiences with more customization. but we all know how that game went down with the whole cinder situation so... in 2022 i returned to aj and i've been getting just as into it again as i was back when i was a kid. tho the difference now is i don't really care about rares anymore. my dream item as a kid was always a LPHD but i literally couldnt care less about getting one now. i'm mostly here to make cool outfits, decorate my den, trade for items i actually think look nice regardless of worth, and have a great time with buddies
    I've also gotten really into AJ play wild lately, especially now with the whole lightside darkside thing going on. i LOVE the darkside wolves and items so much. i hate the simon says game you have to play to get them tho but its worth it haha. Play wild has been so fun to explore, there's so many new and cool features i wish classic had!

    This is how I expanded and fixed Puppy In My Pocket series in my Puppy In My Pocket fanfiction series 💖🐾💛🐾🧡🐾
    1) animal characters live in the same world as human characters
    2) all of the animal characters are small and cute (all of the animal characters are the same size as each other (all of them are 31.75 cm tall), plus all of them have large anime eyes and human like facial expressiveness, the only thing that differentiates them is their animal species, as there are both well known species and lesser known species, plus there are more than just one member of the species)
    3) all of the girl characters have the same extreme hourglass figure as each other and the exact same cup size as each (all of the girls have 35-25-35 bust-waist-hip ratio and the C cup size, the only things that differentiate them are hair colors, eye colors, skin colors, hairstyles and clothings)
    4) all of the boy characters have the same body type as each other (all of the boys have 35-25-24 bust-waist-hip ratio and lean athletic build with medium sized defined muscles, the only things that differentiate them are hair colors, eye colors, skin colors, hairstyles and clothings)
    5) all of the characters that are animalistic deities in the original versions of their stories are now just as humanoid as the other characters (the only things hinting at their animal inspiration are their hairstyles that look like attributes of animals they are based on, for example, Bastet has buns that look like cat ears and a braid that looks like a cat tail)

    I love animal jam and it holds a very, very special place in my heart. I came back to play it recently and was hit with a wave of nostalgia. They are making a remake of the aj classic aswell which is super cool, but it probably won't come out for a long time. Because of the death of flash they have to transfer all of ajs assets to a new program so it can be updated again, which will be a very tedious process, but I really hope it will bring back old players and even bring in some new ones!

    I just got back into the game starting from the ground up. I was hacked a few years ago, perhaps it was from the 2020 data breach. Literally everything, down to my last den item that could be bought in a store. Everything was sold and stolen, that I logged into the game having nothing but a couple hundred thousand gems (didnt have nearly as much before being hacked). It still upsets me considering I had a good amount of spikes and stuff Ive collected over the years. I'll miss my gigantic plushie collection too.

    So, this is my Animal Jam story. Basically this game was my childhood. Absolutely loved it. And actually, it wasn't too long ago that I quit(ill explain in a bit). Personally, since I didn't have many friends(and none who played AJ) I played by myself and I found trading uninteresting and not worth my time. I probably wouldn't have understood trading anyway, I was literally a kid. I enjoyed the game by itself, as it had so many things that other games didn't have. A lot of these(at this point probably all of them) flash MMO games were heavily pay-walled(it is hard to blame them as these games had to make money somehow, although manipulating kids into making their parents buy stuff that wasn't even real maybe isn't the best option...), animal jam was no exception and they didn't mind sticking it in your face all the time("this is what you COULD have gotten, but you didn't, because you're a non-member, haha" granted, they didn't stick it in your face as much as other games, thank goodness, but there was so many things you just couldn't access or explore if you were free to play). I convinced my parents to get me membership not only to flex on the "inferior" players but also because it made the game so much more fun to play. I also think maybe the game wouldn't be as classist as it is/was if the game itself didn't mention it all the time??? "Join the club!" essentially saying if you weren't a member you weren't a part of the "cool" kids. Well, I guess it worked, at least for little me 😂(thanks mom for willing to pay for fictional pets and diamonds so we could run around and talk to other random kids and bully the non-members - side note: I myself didn't actually bully the non members, don't come at me for that, because I was a nonmember myself for a very long time before I got membership) I played classic for a very long time, I did join PW when it first came out, mostly stuck with classic until later. I quit about a year ago because of multiple issues. 1. Something super dumb and weird happened with my classic account when my membership expired, I'm pretty sure it's a glitch but by the time I reached out to AJHQ about it I don't think they would have been able to do anything anyways all my animals but 2 of the non member ones that I chose to keep disappeared because, honestly idk what happened, I don't think it was a hack but I must've logged off when it was doing the "your membership has expired, pick 2 of your pets to keep for now but we're gonna save the rest still", and then when I came back to it, all the rest of my animals were gone. Since that happened, I was mainly playing PW during that anyways so it didn't matter a lot to me, then a few months later I think I got hacked or something cuz all but like 4 of my PW pets were gone(keep in mind, I was very attached to these pets and it made me really sad and it would take a LONG time to get pets like those ones back) I honestly don't know what happened but I don't think the AJ help center was able to help with this either. Also I realize it may have something to do with the security breach. idk because it happened much later after 2020, I was actively playing it. So those was the main reason of me quitting. 2. Wildworks had some drama and issues, not only did feral shut down before I was able to play it(that made me so sad, I was gonna play that game one day and didn't ever get to it, I regret not playing it earlier) but the whole cinder and NFT drama. And also I don't think it has been as fun/educational as when they partnered with Nat Geo, with club geoz and other educational stuff like that.(I am NEVER gonna forgive them for taking away that Brady Barr adventure game thing. The one where you would watch some videos and choose which path he went next. It was so fun to choose the wrong path on purpose and watch him suffer................................ anyway. The last time I went looking for an archive of it I couldn't find barely any videos or anything about it, which is sad because that was a really fun little educational experience.) 3. paywall. I don't want to spend my money on this game to have fun on it. It isn't a good experience when you are very limited in what you can do in a game, and I'd rather play other free games that don't rely on paywalls for a good game experience. Seriously, without membership(even with membership) it is really hard to get currency like sapphires and to play the events. Also it is hard to think of why I should pay for this game again when almost all my progress and pets got deleted. There is no reason.(if there is any slight chance you are reading this AJ, please give me my animals and pets back and I would play your game again in a heartbeat. I would pay membership, I would do a lot of things to be able to play this game like I used to again) 4. The game has become a different experience. This is not bad, but the players have also changed too. I see more people play this game for the items and values and trading, not for fun. I'm not trying to go after the players, you can play AJ and AJPW however you want. I'm just saying the players and big events changed this game overall, and I love both AJ and PW but if I went back to this game(which I won't unless you give me my stuff back AJHQ >:c) I would probably only play classic, mostly for nostalgia but also because it hasn't changed a ton over the recent years and I would still genuinely enjoy it. Well, I think that's the end of my AJ story. From this video, I loved your take on things and really shows how much this game has influenced people(for the better and the worse 😅) It's always fun to look back on AJ considering how much time we spent on it as kids. I also agree with the points you made. If you read all of this, that was a big waste of your time and I apologize in advance.

    This video pretty much sums it up lol, I played animal jam from when I was like.. 11-14 i think, and hopped back onto it recently and couldn’t do much because the economy has changed so much and I could barely do anything besides run around and try to make friends, but I just kinda got yelled at by people for some reason 😭 animal jam has always had a sort of strange hostile environment, at least for me. I still log on every few months tho just cuz I like to look at the crispy graphics (compressed 3D models in flash media my beloved)

    I did come back to AJ maybe a few years ago, for a few months.
    But I just can't mentally handle the constant stress of the rabid economy.
    Here are three short and "fun" things that have happened to me in AJ,
    - Having my pink worn trust trade scammed. I was very upset!
    - My best friend had their account hacked into. Very rare account with spikes, worns, head-dresses, all of the sort. I feel terrible for them because not only was their account made useless, but all those childhood memories ruined.
    - When I did come back to AJ through the 3D Animal Jam, fossils and dinosaurs were being added. They added Limited items, that would only be produced in certain quantities such as 500. I got one of these items from the first wave of them, a very rare and special time. Then I immediately gave it away to someone for some gems so I could afford something I actually wanted.

    Idk about the english side of AJ, but the spanish side was pretty chill, i had 3 best friends on there and we would chat a lot, what was rly cool is that the "status" didnt matter for us, i was a nm and didnt have many valuable stuff, the other was a member and the other was a rare nm, we got along really well.
    I remember we used to play a lot of adventures togehter and we would gift eachother stuff, very fun while it lasted.
    But we stopped talking to eachotehr bc one day one of them (the member) said that we couldn't be friends anymore, dawg i literally cried that day i felt so bad bc i didnt know what did i do for her to drop that bomb on me

    I remember I lost interest as I started getting older and didn't have as much time to play.
    I remember the time I stopped was around the time Eagles were introduced.

    Avid AJ Play Wild player here, just wanted to tell you that you do actually have some good items from what I've seen in your inventory, the items I saw were Feathered Shoulder Armor, Crystal Arm Bands, Jamaaliday Gift Body (?), Rare Designer Shawl, both Arabian clothing sets, the face items are worth the most for those sets, and your Legendary Glove. Other stuff that's different in AJPW, the gap between members and non-members is very small, classism isn't as prominent because of this. Also, Sapphires are worth less than Diamonds, I don't know the exact ratio, but an animal costs 10 diamonds on classic, and animals on play wild cost 150 (recently raised to 170 cuz AJ is being greedy). Pretty sure I've rambled enough about this silly game, hope this helped!! ^^

    (I practised one layer art all these years for nothing)

  • @raccoon2968
    @raccoon2968 ปีที่แล้ว

    I always log back in like everyone few couple months lol. And I remember coming in when shops were new then I didn’t much care until like almost a year later when I came back on again and everything like sky rocketed in value but then some didn’t. Like I remember some headdresses a year ago was like 175 black longs. I was like wow, but then also building up to being rare is so much easier now because of the shops. I found so many rare items for cheap and bought them, then make art to get spike and sell them for like 200 diamonds to then buy more rarer items. Then cuz I found a aj item sever, I just bought myself a headdress 💀 now I just go back to logging in once in a while and with all the new things I have, I just decorate and wait for any new items to collect and decorate with. With this tho the game kinda sucks cuz it just turned into everyone trading and sticking to their own friend groups. It’s still fun tho.

    I swear as an adult ajpw is so much less hectic than classic. I remember begging my mom for memberships and now you dont have to be a member to grind on the capitalist wheel. Being on classic is fun to me now cuz so many ppl my age are coming back but the items are not worth my time.

    Me and my childhood best friend used to play Animal Jam a lot, we both really wanted the membership, the thing is, her parents got it for her, but I never did. One time, she had her account open in her computer, literally right in front of me, and she left to do something, I almost tried to trade me some items of hers but she came back so I couldn't do it😔

    We are literally the same person. I started an Animal Jam youtube channel at 11 which is how I have 300 subscribers with no videos (I deleted them years ago because criiinge)
    I 100% agree with you on the animal jam being a good stepping stone. I fell for the editthiscookie scam (If you know what this means you're a real one) and lost my prized possession, my red long. Cried to my parents for hours but learned a valuable lesson. At least I learned by getting scammed pixels instead of real money.
