When will the winner be picked? ❤
YO
I haven't quit yet.
But all these new stuff is coming!
But its quite unfair bc the PC animal jam ain't getting no updates except the old updates.
But I love your videos!
*Yo* is a great 2 letters
I am telling u I quit cuz u said to. I quitted
Either they’re old, they get bored, they’re forced out, they think it’s too toxic, they get hacked/scammed, they’re frustrated because of the rarity system, etc.
Exactly
In 2019 I quit and these were all the reasons except me being old lol
I almost quit cuz I lost everything..
Yes that is most likely why
Yeah :(
I think to has to do with everyone quitting, all the jambassadors leaving and how the game isn't as exciting before like in 2015. Everyone is moving toward play wild or moving on entirely from the game so idk
All the youtubers quit or started playing feral.People think that only because most youtubers quit aj they have to quit to.
i miss 2016 aj! all i cared about was playing mini games and now trading is the only important thing in the game
Im quiting aj
I have played aj for 4 years, and will play, as long as possible, no matter how toxic jammers are. Because its not even your fault. :)
I also have played aj for 4 years and am not willing to quit yet.
People aren’t “toxic” it’s just how they are and saying toxic is like a stereotype now ngl
I am a guest jammer but i hate the spammers and i cant do with rps while i love rps :(
Ive played for 6 years, but my current account was made in 2019. I dont think i am quitting anytime soon
Yeah I agree
I believe it had to do with the amount of toxicness, hackers, and scammers in the community... Which is sad
Yeah people get depressed because of scammers and hackers, and a lot of people can be mean for no good reason. And yes, age is a big factor, especially for me when it comes to quitting animal jam because nobody in my grade plays AJ, so that says something about me. I've honestly gotten bored of it because I've done all there is to do. And I also wanna get away from the memories of my old friend because I need to lock that out of my life.
I get scammed sometimes so i deleted the game.. i don't wanna get scammed again
@@rs00844 Omg, I get framed, scammed and got death threats sent to me and my mom.
@@wzronn what?! Why were u getting death threats?
Agreed . Even Roblox is the same way !
For me:
I felt like the old ajpw community (ameliecraft aj, tiffany, notlucario aj, dukeburstz, poofycats etc) is completely gone. All the people who play it now, I feel like are another generation. They’re all younger than me, and I feel like an alien on Earth when I’m playing it for once. My friends are never online and I can’t make new friends because everyone is just salty and rude for no reason. If only ever go online for daily stuff but I haven’t played in about a month now. I’ve decided I won’t feel pressured to go on everyday, and it’ll just be another part of me that existed, reigned but then had to die.
that was deep lmao-
I agree, just like Aparri, Bepper, Julian2 etc, they just felt like the main inspiration throughout the AJ community but now that there gone, it feels a bit empty but at least we have other content creators around.
Apari bavk
@@HeathRat ooh yeah
And itzbreezy
Someone is always older than me, but it's still ok that you are older, i've played with like 16 years old players or 17,15 and these. Also you can be friends with me beacuse i'm not toxic. I only meet toxic scammers and players in Animal Jam CLASSIC... They scammed me, said im ugly and it's all on AJ CLASSIC, i'll still won't quit it just like Animal Jam PLay Wild.
I’ve quit animal jam, but I love supporting all of the youtubers
I’ve subbed to, just because I quit animal jam doesn’t mean I quit supporting you :)
Quitting isn't something to be dramatic about or cry about. Its something that you should be proud of, whenever someone quits ACCEPT it.
I'll never accept anyone to quit, someone called farrjamplay in Animal Jam CLASSIC bullyed one of the our friends, she almost quitted but we stopped her.
The community is toxic, and most people who quit are driven to quit because of that. That is not something I'm proud of, but I accept it.
ajc has became a truly toxic community and still is i just came back recently and the experience is horrible i was expecting to relive my nostalgia, not worth it if ppl quit its for better they should move on with life
I personally quit because I lost everything because animal jam locked my account. It’s still there but I can’t access it
Oh no :(
that happend to FunnehFan14 in ajpw in the hack
bruh I just realized I put two becauses I’m screaming
Same and i also out grown it
Same here, except I just made a new account and was very upset.
I quit Animal Jam about a month ago, it honestly just got boring to me, and I felt a bit old for the game itself. Before I quit I also made Animal Jam videos, and I never had interest for it anymore. I would try to post as much as I could but I kept loosing subscribers, not that I really cared but it was just kinda Disappointing. So I decided to quit and do something I’d enjoy more. Yet I’m still watching you’re videos! I still enjoy them, and I like seeing your channel grow more and more. xp
If I was quitting I would give away some small rares or something but I would want to keep the stuff I earned keep my look, even if I don't play anymore, I wanna keep and represent what I worked for for years on my account instead of giving it all to some random jammer who will probably quit ( I know it sounds selfish but it's just my opinion )
I agree with you, I might give some stuff away to friends I trust, but not everything
I agree
I quit AJ because I was forced out of the game( anyone with strict parents can relate in some way ) and because I was always bullied, and for me, I play online games to have fun and kind of have a 'social life', because at school I'm the 'shy kid' and I get social anxiety when I have to talk to more than one person. Then I realized Animal Jam was a waste of time, and I should put my hobbies and interests first instead of an online game I was getting frustrated with, no one trades me, toxic player, scammers, etc.
Another thing that wasn't pointed out is people quit because they want to put their school or goals first, and eventually realize fighting and stressing over some pixels is a waste of time. I'm glad you pointed out that not giving away your rares is perfectly fine, some people have their rares in their account and I totally agree with you ( I have some small rares and betas in my account, still ). I'm 14 and I was considered one of the younger players in the community, and eventually I just got frustrated with it all.
However, I'll still support and watch you because you're the kindest you tuber out there! In my opinion you deserve more than 10k for all the work you put in your videos, and you're also so generous.
Animal Jam is getting more and more toxic ( I've noticed especially in the Arctic Wolf Cave ) people were getting bullied and then there's, well... the "cool" kids who treat everyone besides their friends like they're invisible. It frustrated me because I'm the type of person who would go out of my way to do something kind for someone, even in an online game.
Thank you for your awesome videos!
I know for a fact I am going to eventually quit, mainly because I am getting too old ( currently I am 17) and I have encountered very toxic people before. Even I have been caught up in some of my buddies drama, it was overwhelming considering it felt like I was the one who had to figure it out for them. Plus some of my buddies only care about trading more than hanging out with me. Idk but still, just for me AJ just has become toxic to me.
im 8 and i want to quit already
@@mercurytheducky756 im around 10-12 (yea im not gonna reveal my age) and im losing a bit of interest in the game
I'm 14 and tbh it isnt as interesting on how I used to play when I was 8, I'm pretty much alone on AJPW, just occasionally trading or playing minigames, or just walking and doing random stuff across AJ, it truly feels alone and I miss when I used to play AJC
I agree with you about the toxicicity! I hate when people say that, because ive had a AMAZING experience with the animal jam communty and its so negitive to say the whole community is toxic!

I only quit due to ajhq not listening to issues with my account (I got locked out and can’t get back in).
the same happened with the first account I started playing with, I feel you. now it's deleted.
@@unicorn686 sad because my account has five years of rares and sapphires
@@Walmartviolist sorry for u:(
Same! My friend had really rare items on her account and AJHQ said “it’s probably not your account” even though she sent screenshots and stuff off proof. This is why I don’t like AJHQ all that much
@@veramiracles I feel for your friend😞
As a person who recently came back to playing it somewhat and is almost 18 years old... I think I mainly just left because I got bored and also cause I was growing up. Coming back sorta feels nice, but nothing really changed in my opinion that really perked my interest.
I used to play AJPW a long time ago, 2015-2018. I mainly quit after a friend I made on there just disappeared without a trace sometime back in 2017. We used to roleplay every single day for 2 years since we met eachother, and while I did meet and befriend others on that game, I spent most of my time interacting with this one person. At first, I waited patiently for them. There was a glitch back in October 2016 which made me unable to login for a month, so I figured they were just having a similar issue and I would just check in every day to see if they returned yet. As I waited, it became several months since I had seen them and I got pretty bored since I usually just spent the rest of my day after school playing with them and eventually got into trading.
I would send JammerGrams to their account every week telling them all the different rares I managed to obtain, but it also is what started to get me frustrated as I eventually reached a point where I felt like I was working hard, but not breaching into the higher echelons of trading (I had many spikes and some betas such as cool shoes, but I just never managed to get stuff like dragon wings, or the coveted raccoon tail) and I started to realised that I wasn't having fun.
Looking back on it now, I pretty much just used AJPW as a glorified chatroom and I was only there because of the friends I made. So to summarise, I mainly quit because my best friend just disappeared and I realised that AJPW itself was pretty boring to me. My only regret is that I could never track down that person, the only thing I could find from searching their username is a youtube channel that stopped uploading ever since they disappeared. I also tried recently logging back onto my old account after 5 years, but it seems it was deleted, and I couldn't find their account through Jammer search either. In someways, I am also glad the accounts are gone as I kind of see quitting AJPW as the start of a new chapter in my life, so it is somewhat comforting to think that there really was no looking back.
Also if anyone has read this far and is curious:
My account was called "Harfox29"
Their account was called "Ajbunnycutie"
Hi, former AJ player here (the profile pic is 7-8 years old and I can't be bothered to change it)!
I quit playing AJ and AJPW last year sometime in September after AJ's "birthday" (I remember this because I remember feeling weird about not having to make a Night of the Phantoms-themed den in October) and this is because of a number of reasons:
-The first reason is I'm a college student and have been for almost 3 years (I'm hoping to graduate by next year! :)), so about a year before my quitting, I started getting more homework and responsibilities as I progressed through college. This led to me gradually playing AJ less, but I still made time to talk with friends online and to stay updated on all of the new AJ updates and AJ-related Instagram posts.
-The second reason is I noticed the AJ community had changed over time. I started to no longer see the game's community in rose-colored glasses like I used to, I had gotten exposed to worse types of players than just scammers and hackers. I won't say the entire community was toxic, but I will say that I had run into some other "jammers" who just didn't sit right with me (and in some instances, I was right to be skeptical of them).
-On a lighter note, the final reason as to why I quit AJ is because after playing AJ for10 years (yes, you read that right, 10 YEARS), I felt I had completed all my goals on the game. I had obtained all my dream items, I met friends as New Jammers and witnessed them grow up into skilled AJ players who later announced their quitting days but wanted to stay in touch with me still (which I feel is a total honor still and yes, I'm still friends with these formal players on different social media apps), I spent a good chunk of my time on AJ catching scammers and hackers, and overall I feel I did a decent job at attempting to set a good example for some younger players of the community.
In conclusion, I left AJ on a good note, I'm still keeping up to date with the AJ community via various social media apps and I'm still keeping in touch with some of the friends I've made on AJ. I have new goals now, but I'll never forget the goals I made and accomplished during my time on AJ. Thanks for reading if you actually bothered to read the whole thing! ^-^"

@@gold_fish44 I did warn ya lol! Gotta get all those details into my comment, you know? X3
My friends have been quitting animal jam. And I get it! They just got bored of the game, either they were concerned about the community. I somehow convince them to stay... But I think I should do that anymore because it’s there choice. Also your scripts are so good and so is your art. Jam on peeps.
Yea I taked a break from animal Jan because I lost my interest in it and started to play other games like among us or Pokemon. It's sad to see alot of animal jam jammbasors quit animal jam too.
Good video btw 🌸
I quit because aj just got boring for me and I'm grew out of it
my reasons:
-drama
-toxic
-fake freinds
-getting bored
Question: why are pepole who have rares and betas more "bragging or popular or ruder" (air quotes)
I personally don’t think that’s true. Although I quit a few months ago and am not sure if the community had changed that much, some people that I’ve met that are rarer have been really nice! Not everyone who is rare is snobby and rude about it, but there are some people who only want to play for the rares and will only hang out with rare people.
@@peachy_ash ik not all people who are rare are mean, I have ment people realllllly nice who are rare, but one time I was like "nice item is it rare?" And they where like "ik ik I'm rare" and I was like OMG RUDE and I tryed trading with someone for a rare and they where like "more, that's under,add more" and then they canceled and I cept trying to trade again then they blocked me.
o idk
@@J.a.n.e.02 The first point u brought up. I 100% agree with you, that was rude. Your second point I don’t find that rude. Regardless beta or not I see both of them using “add more” and “you’re under.” They are just letting you know if your under or they wanted you to add. The reason why the other jammer blocked you was because you were spamming to trade again. I don’t know if someone ever spam trade you, but it’s really annoying.
@@minji1635 well what made me rlly mad was I was new and they blocked me because I did not have many things.
I quit over 3 years ago as I outgrew the game but the videos remind me of my childhood so I watch them anyways :)
Focus on leamon puppy's voice ❌
focus on the pack run ✅
Early! 🤪💗
To answer your question, I agree with you that most Jammers probably get bored of the game as they grow up. And that’s ok! But I also believe that maybe some people quit because of pressure or hate that they get in the game. No one deserves to be treated like that, but unfortunately it happens to so many people 😔
Anyways! Keep up the great work Leamon! ❤️❤️
Yep!
I'm glad you post so frequently! it keeps me from being bored!
My reason: It became very toxic none of my friends arent online or they just care about trading it got really boring for me, most of my friends/buddies became toxic and unfriended me.
That is me too. One of my “ buddies” only cares about trading and really never hung out with me. Even if they did they would never notice me until like 5-10 minutes later
my buddy betrayed my pack so what happend is it made my whole pack sad so i deleted the pack but Friendship is better is stil out there also one of my buddies where so toxic they said fall in a foutain and also she unfriended me her user is Sylveonpinkie
I quit a few months ago and am still watching your channel! I completely agree with you, Leamon, and you made a lot of good points in the video!
I think the reason I quit was because I was growing out of it and I was tired of the people I was around. I finally worked up to my dream item, a DJ headset, but then realized there wasn’t really a point in trading anymore. Trading wasn’t the whole point of the game to me though, I still played games with buddies at that point, and was uncertain if I was ready to leave the community. But after a while it just got boring and I felt like I was around a lot of toxic, greedy, little kids. Most of all my “friends” were a lot younger than me and I didn’t feel like I really fit in. I finally decided to quit when logging on just felt like a chore instead of a hobby and I didn’t like the new animal jam. I wished the good old days would come back. It was definitely my time to leave though but I’m still supportive of some AJ you tubers and enjoy watching their content!
I did take a break in august 2018 to 2019 in September and play wild became my main game now (with my ocean the orange character) I guess now I don’t want to quit the game, it was just a break from it
Throughout my long 6 years of knowing the game and playing, I did take a long 1-2 year break twice. Every time I "quitted", gave away my items, and it made me happy. Whenever I came back to the game, it was like I had a new clean sheet with older records. It was nice to start anew again, in my opinion. I usually quit because the game got boring (I only play AJC). The lack of updates, friends, and things to do as a nm. However, I'd always come back for the nostalgia and trying to gain newer rares and newer dream items.
I quit animal jam a long time ago like when I was 7. Recently I found your channel and I thought “oohh cool a new animal jam video” as I started watching your Channel I began to want to play animal jam again. So now I’m playing the game again and animal jam classic
It’s really sad that people quit.. I remember when me and my sister played together all the time! But she grew up... now she never even mentions it but I’m just happy we have the amazing memories!
I took a short break from Animal Jam, it was quite refreshing actually! Now I'm back and the game feels fresh and fun again.
The reason I quit aj way because it was getting quite toxic and boring. Now that’s it’s been nearly a year since I quit, I feel great aha
Btw thanks for taking my account, I hope everything on it made you and others happy aha
Are years of being ajpw I guess I had to do something with my account instead of just abandon it lol
keep jamming
Wolfpasta xx
i quit because my "friends" on there were the same as league of legends and i didn't even have anything motivating me to stay
I don't care what your videos are about, I'll watch them either way 🤣
Thank you for making this video! I quit a few months back, when AJHQ took down browser AJ and made it into something you download. I would like to eventually revisit it, just for fun.
I quit animal jam about a year ago but I still really enjoy listening to your video's.
I may quit because AJHQ suspended me for no reason and it really upset me. Even before that I got hacked out of over 1,000 sapphires and AJHQ didn’t do anything about it, and I basically lost all the money and time and effort I put into getting those sapphires. I’m still trying to decide whether to quit or just not play as often, because I really do have some really good friends on animal jam, but if I do decide to quit, that would be the reasons…
Edit: It's three months later and I have already quit. When I did quit, one of my friends straight up asked for my items...actually three of my friends did. I told them I was making it clear I was NOT giving away my items I worked so hard for. It hurt SO bad. Guys, if you're reading this, please don't ask quitting players for items. It obviously depends on the player and if they care or not, but from my personal experience it hurts A LOT...
Sighh I quitted animal jam a month or more ago but I'm still watching your videos
i honestly quit because it became to toxic for me. i was trying to do a trade with someone and they canceled the trd i tried to ask why and they just straight up ignored me or was rude. its pretty difficult to find true friends who dont want your rares nowadays.
that's because they don't want to trade.
Off topic but I love the Pokemon music in the background
I quit because of the community. I didn’t mean to quit, I just stopped playing. And realized I promised myself when I was much younger that I would NEVER quit or grow out of it, and I feel like I just grew out of it. It’s my childhood and I want to come back, I’m probably gonna try and come back, I started playing slightly more.
Im taking a break from animal jam because a few months ago I met my best friend then we met this guy who me and my best friend soon figured out was a 30 year old man saying he was 18 and dating younger girls AND HE HAD A WIFE AND DAUGHTER I then blocked him and unfriended him. was kind of losing interest and I had recently got hacked and lost my 3 years of hard work then I won a forest gauntlet giveaway then me being stupid at 3 am and trusting someone from the worth wiki then losing basically everything.I just got tired of animal jam but I couldn’t quit forever because then it would hurt my friend so now I’m taking a break for 1-2 months.
Please be careful online and don’t me stupid like me 😔
Im a mom I play with my daughter 😌 plus I can watch over to make sure she's not getting scammed ect . But I actually enjoy the game I just avoid the toxic players . I just buy the items at shops rares that my kid wants so she's happy and we share them . Love your vids by the way ! :)
it's quite agreeable. sometimes we need to move on, I nearly quitted once since some toxic jammers just went hardcore mean,
Maybe for OG Animal Jam it's because we haven't been getting any major updates lately, just bundles of recolored items.
I think that’s because mobile games got more popular the pc games I guess...
Such good points! The animal jam community is actually pretty chill. Sadly I think ppl take bad experiences with other jammers and say that the whole community is like that. Great video! 👍🏻😄💜💜
I love Ajc, i played every day but I quit because the flash went away, I'm so sad i can't play anymore :( (I'm going to lose everything i took so long to get plus all the cool friends i made) Plus i love watching your videos!! ^-^
Plus if you know a buddy named Magdelena79m that's me and thats why i've been inactive sorry if I've been inactive its cause of flash so it sucks
Everyone listening to leamon puppy. Me: arctic fox :O
I did quit bc um... you know... but im back bc of you leamon, watching ur videos make me motivated to play again
I was just watching your videos and got a notification for this one lol
I’m glad ur not quitting
im not quitting but im just a bit inactive-
the game got boring tbh.
Ya.
Same
Ah, i nearly quit because of age, im still not super active, not only that. i feel like people might tease me about it if they knew :(
I quit Animal Jam awhile ago. And honestly, the only reason I am still subscribed to most Animal Jam users is the fact that I want to still support the community’s content creators 😅 Truly, if it wasn’t for you, content creators, this community would just be- I don’t know the word there are too many.
i have quit because i was getting older and i had lost interest in the game, none of my old friends logged on anymore and i just couldn't remember what i did in the game for fun, besides socialize and rp with my friends. I also traded alot also got scammed alot because i had a little to much hope in the community haha- any who i just recently go an interest back on the game in designing my dens and buying items but my friends still dont log on and im not to sure what to do, because unlike back then now i get extremely awkward and scared when i speak to people so its alot harder to make friends now that im a teenager and am very shy lol but im also watching to see why other quit. I never really 'quit' but i did stop plaing for a very very long time.
I quit animal jam back in July of 2020 because I was getting bored of the game honestly, But those 5 years on the game were so full of great memories, I’ve moved on but I do sometimes watch aj videos to see new updates and what’s happening in the game :]
I had a friend who quit aj because
1: They were a rare nonmember, having 3 long spikes and many nm rares
2: They spent hours on the game, so it slowly got more boring
3: They got hacked, so even if they didnt wanna quit, they werent allowed into their rare account
I actually took a break from aj, my membership was running out, and the updates werent as good. I actually came back not too long ago, and I bought another membership xd
I’ve had a cycle of quitting and rejoining. I’d play for one year, in 2017, then quit in 2018 because I got hacked, and then come back in 2020, play until that breach in late October/early November, and then quit for another 2 years until recently.
It’s so weird to see this video and to see how far animal jam has come.
I started playing animal jam in early 2013 when it was popularized in my class- we’d get together, get on, play games together, and then headed home (btw this was the 5th grade for me). I used to also play the games together with my dad whenever he had the time for it since it was a way I could engage with him in different ways.
There was no way to communicate in the game back in the day without a membership, there was no way to play a few of the games without membership, there was no way to customize to the max without membership, there was no way to really do much without membership. It was literally another Disney pixie hollow if anyone is aware of the game, but it still had a lot more to do than most free online games at the time. Of course tho, a lot of people got tired, there wasn’t really a lot to do- and even tho I did have a membership for around 2 years- once that runs out there was still a heavy limit to even doing anything at all.
I never ran into toxic players back then though since no one could even talk lmao, but people still could make friends- just couldn’t communicate.
I don’t really know how much has changed today other than some 3d aspects, but I do remember that the moment there wasn’t anything to do than the same repetitive games and that when my membership ended, I just didn’t want to continue.
I have a lot of great memories from that game though, but for a game that’s gone on so long, it really shouldn’t have come this far on the same mechanics it’s been on since 2015 (which was when they started to do more commercialization rather than the big National Geographic side of things).
I quit because there aren't as many people who play anymore-
So I know people disagree with this 😅 but I think u should trade away ur rates if ur 100% quitting cuz there are so little of lots of rates an it would keep items flowing as it is already hard to find some items my opinion
Yeah I’ve quit kinda I still enjoy to watch your content though, it makes me want to play the game again sometimes lol
i would quit because there's hardly any game play aka stuff to do, and it just is a pain to logon these days since i like classic way better but I can't play it now. I play ajpw which i hate so i think i might quit soon (not giving any of my items away) also there are quite to much scammers out there and i just recently been scammed for all my pets and which it kinda sucks for that too. nice video
Well I haven’t officially quit but I rarely ever play. I really enjoy you videos and want to support you! I’ve played so long and mostly the pressure to “be rare” was kinda stressing me ;-; I would finally get a bit rare and feel good then I would get seriously scammed or hacked or something and I just eventually ran out of other things to do, I generally check in when there’s a new update. Also I’m still sad they removed treasure hunts ;-; my goal was to get all the animals and that’s what I was working towards and now idk there’s not really anything to do
I love animal jam and I’ve played it for years but sometimes I think about quitting the game because having to keep up to date with it all is super stressful :(
I know that this isn't for all cases but sometimes people won't quit but they will just take a break. This might last from a couple of days or even years so just be nice and support someone if they want to
leave.
For me it was the economy constantly fluctuating. Every day the rarity of an item would change and I got sick of it. I eventually quit. This is what happens to a game controlled by 10 year olds
I don’t really play that much any more and it’s because I feel like it’s just boring and it doesn’t make me happy anymore and I play fortnite now only
i just play roblox now
I just play sonic forces now
(The mobile one)
@@mercurytheducky756 I was introduced to Roblox and I liked it the first couple of days then I lost interest a lot so I never play it now
I left animal jam because I felt to old for it. It was still so fun and I love the game and have so many great memories playing it. But it was just the simple fact that I had outgrown the game. Animal jam has no man storie line or a main goal really. So after awhile I got tired of randomly trading people or playing the mini games. So I stopped playing. I still love animal jam and it was a great part of my child hood. But as I got older I needed something more complex. So yeah thats why I quit. Sorry this was so long and rambly but thanks if you read this.
Also I thought I should say this. But when I quit I kept all the things that had sentimental value. Like my outfit or my favorite den items. But the rest of the stuff I gave to people. I asked then is they could return the dead. I know most of them wouldent listen but. I just wanted the small the chance that I could start a chain. And make someone's day better.
I didn’t necessarily “quit”, but I did stop really playing and now maybe just go on and off in phases. I was really into it in like middle school when I first started playing (probably around 2011-2012 maybe) and I would play everyday. I remember going to that hut in the beach land and doing karaoke, going to the theater and accidentally annoying other players by constantly turning on the gecko short, making stories up about my characters and just exploring the land.
I was that kind of player in MMO games that would just go and make up a story as I played, I wouldn’t really get heavily involved in task lines or drama, I just wanted to log on and have fun.
I remember I bought the restaurant den just so I could add the two buffet tables and sit there clicking on them for no real reason other than enjoyment, or that I bought the volcano den and decorated it to make it all wolflike and used it as a den for my wolf to be all dramatic. I can’t really explain it, but it was like roleplaying, but mostly solo. Idk. I also remember it was in the fman122 craze, as I made a spare account with necklaces and whenever there was a scare I’d log in on that one and trade all my items over to it.
But then as the years went on and I started watching Animal Jam TH-camrs, I started seeing how cool all those rares looked (probably 2015-2016 ish), so that started to become a big motivator for me. Except at the time there was a “hack” you could do to get rares, so once I figured that out, I did it. Back then you could email AJHQ and tell them that you got scammed of your rare and they would send one to you. I think I did it with a green or pink long spike and maybe a green elf tail armor, I’m not sure. But once I got those, all of the fun was kind of taken out of the game and I felt guilty, so I just walked away from it and even now I think the account may have been deleted as when I tried to log in it won’t let me.
So yeah, I guess my extended break from Animal Jam came with a mix of growing up and those rares honestly. Yeah they looked nice, but it just wasn’t that fulfilling personally as I hyped it up to be.
Hi I’m an adult who used to play animal jam classic. The reason why I enjoyed it is because I enjoy learning about animals and nature plus I’m disabled and my disability makes me a little younger mentally on some level. So I really liked the idea of animal as a result. But ... I also like what I call dungeons. And classic had something very similar to dungeons with their adventures. To me it was never really about getting rare items, it was more about the experience. I never really wanted to become rare. It was more the adventures and animals that got me playing. What made me leave the game is well so many of the well known TH-camrs were leaving. Then the game got attacked by what I remember as yellow ducks. That got me thinking about leaving but I didn’t want to leave just yet. But I still enjoyed the game even though I found it very repetitive and nothing knew was really being released. And because of the Feral release I technically moved on (excited for some new content at last). Thing is I don’t like deleting my game accounts because I know that sooner or later I’ll probably want to come back for a bit. Then Animal Jam classic was hacked and I realised That as much as I didn’t want to, deleting my accounts and leaving AJ for good was probably the safer option since I definitely didn’t want anything getting hacked again. And I’ve had enough experience from other games to know that it was best to leave while I still more or less enjoyed the game and had good memories.
the reasons why i quit, and also still watching AJ videos
i quit awhile ago, years at this point, but i still wanna talk about it.
*Not being able to pay for membership
I used to have a lot of membership items, and once the membership ran out, i couldnt use any of it. it got tiring, being my parents to but it when i was younger, but as i got older, i got tired of it. every good item was for members, if u wanted a non-member item that looked good and was rare it would take u so long to get there.
*Getting scammed
i was a young, naive, innocent child, and trusted people. i had spikes, and it made me cry when people scammed my pixels. it took so long to get those things, and to have it taken away made me heart broken.
*Simply not being there from the start
this might sound really dumb, but i always wished i was there when the first Jambassadors where around, and the beta, but i wasnt. that kinda made me lose hope in getting items i wanted. it was super hard for me to do so, and it was just really hard seeing all my friends on the game have these spikes, and i couldnt get there.
*Boring game play
when u werent trading, and had no friends, it was boring. like really boring, you cant do anything. AJPW did better with this, more stuff you can do, but AJ is just a "learning" experience. no one really cares about that stuff though, its just really boring, and tiring.
*Getting older
as time grew on, i got tired of getting on, getting on less and less. it was apart of the pass me, and i was tiring to figure out who i was, and AJ just wasnt the thing for me. by the time AJPW came out i already quit, granted i tried it, but it had no magic. honestly just seemed like a money grab at that point.
now, the reason i watch AJ videos cus i like looking at the news. i had a feeling WildWorks would go down one day, but i also just like seeing whats going on with the community. im probably not going to come back, but i like the memories.
Lemon! You're close to getting 10k subscribers :o congratulations!
Also sorry if this is off topic lol
I don’t plan on quitting anytime soon but I would probably keep the game on my phone as a memory of something I used to play 🥰
Same
You know what i do?
I just turn on one of these "explaining" videos and log on to ajpw. Its fun to have you talk about aj while I play it.
~thx~
To be honest, I really love Animal Jam. It was my first game when i got my tablet (i was 9 or 10 when i played on it).
And also even it was really hard to do, i was really rich with my favourite animals and pets, i got many betas and friends, it was really fun to me! But then i quit AJ for hacking. I remembered that one day when i connected to my account and seeing a basic animal all in black with red-cross eyes. It was awful to me and i cried a lot... Then i grew up and i make the same thing in the past (try to having sapphires, trading rare-to-rare ect...) and, i got hacked again, it's just like a vicious circle. I definitely quit this game after that. But the thing is, i want to play it again, the problem is that we're never safe with people, we never trust people in this game, and that's why i want things to change, and play it again safety.
Damn I remember playing this game way back when in 2012. I’ve meet all those famous aj youtubers like Wootmoo, Julian2, Wisteria, Bepper, you name it, I’ve met them in game. Played this shit for about 8-9 years and I feel like it’s because we all grew up. I heard the rare system got nerfed too. Crazy to think AJ was updating *too much* at one point now it’s not at all. :/ I traded away all my rares so the younger ones don’t have to go through all the bs for a spike. Even that everyone has now!
I’m someone who quitted AJ roughly back in 2015 (I was around 14 at the time) and I think the main reason why I personally left the game is because School got in the way (keep in mind back in 2015 I was a freshman in high school and if anyone has been in high school in the states know how school can be) and personally lost interest of game.
Every time I tried to get back into the game I just can’t since my preference in games has changed.
I quit once I got older. I’m at the gym 6x a week, strength training. Work, and school as well. My priorities and hobbies are different as I got older. But that game raised me
I quit aj but i loveeeee your vids💜🖤 ily Leamon
I quitted because I got hacked twice and banned 5 times for no reason, while that happened I started getting older and loosing interest in the game,
I quit like November last year mainly because of loss of interest but also because of the drama and a lot of toxic people( yes I know not all people in animal jam are toxic) and it was really bothering so I ended up quitting now I'm just a part of the alt community and cosplay community
If I ever quit it would be scamming or hacked
I came back after maybe 2017-early 2018 of quitting. You don't understand how surprised I was when I realized there were so many random items that got a sudden boost of rarity.
I’ve played aj for 5 year I do take breaks but it’s something daily I do aj is the love of my life and I completely understand how people feel when they quit it’s extremely sad to see people leaving ajpw for different reasons
Hello! And here is my story.
So, I joined when I was around 6/7. But I took a huge break, and came back when I was 8. I would play every day! I had old creatures and lots of good accessories. Then, I took another break, I came back when I was 9 and found out I really wanted the Sugar Glider pet. So you know, I was running back and forth saying: “BUYING SUGAR GLIDER FOR MY FIT AND PETS!!” And eventually I found a person with a sugar glider. They also agreed, but y’know, it’s a story about quitting so yeah I got scammed from my poodle, cobra, duck, and many many more good pets. But I stayed in aj. I eventually got a sugar glider and I was so happy! I was running around with it, color swappingand seeing offers for it for fun. Then I took a break till I was 11. I was making art for aj for nostalgia reasons, and I was joining in, and there I was. A blank avatar only a raccoon with nothing on. I thought nothing of it, then I went to put something on, and there was nothing. Only flip flops and sunglasses. I was like: Okay- do I have my sugar glider at least? Nope. No pets at all in fact. Idk if I was hacked because when I left, I tried to rejoin, thinking it’s a glitch, my session expired right after, so it could be a glitch, possibly I got hacked, but idc really. I noticed how I’m growing out of aj too, but I think of playing again, and hopefully getting my stuff back if I get a session.
Its quite sad but true.
I've been having thoughts of quitting AJPW. Ever since the February update, I felt pressured into activity playing due to all of the new bundles that came out. I was already saving up for the movie studio den, and then cats and dogs just came around. I had to save up even more sapphires just to get them. I just wish that AJHQ would be less harsh on the prices on AJPW. Getting an animal on AJ is quicker than on AJPW. Diamond animals cost 10 diamonds, while sapphire animals cost 150 diamonds. I can get 10 diamonds within 4 days, and on AJPW it takes so long to get sapphires. Its not even guaranteed to get sapphires on the daily spin, even as a member. On AJ, (almost) everyday I get diamonds because I am a member. The only time I don't actually get them is if I get rims instead. It's easier to get stuff on AJ than AJPW, simply because AJPW really only has one way of getting decent items: The touch pool mini game. Trying to find a golden ray takes a long time, usually longer than TFD on AJ. Even on TFD if I don't get a great item, I can sell it for diamonds.
I also want to quit AJPW because it isn't fun anymore. I have no friends on the game, and the only friends I have on there are now inactive or play AJ more. Having to buy animals every month is annoying, and makes it seem like AJHQ is forcing us to buy sapphires with our money. Don't get me wrong, AJPW has great updates. However with the recent inventory increase, you have to grind phantom coins or whatever they're called. I don't want to be spending my coins on this, I want to buy sapphire potions. On AJ, I literally have almost 2000 den items, and its annoying. So many of my items are for dens, or trading.
I'm still not quite sure if I really am quitting. If I do quit, I'd probably only come back in October to play the phantom mini games.
First, and I plan to quit soon honestly. I'm still thinking tho tbh
Yup
Instead of quitting and giving away your stuff, I suggest you just take a break. Don't give away your stuff, don't tell your buddies you've officially quit. Just tell them you're taking a break, and do exactly that. That way, if you ever decide to return to the game, you won't have lost everything.
@@tigermythix yeah. That's what I usually do. But I'm addicted to the game so it's very hard. If you didnt know I'm in "lockdown"
awwww
I still play aj 🙃 iv played since 2015 december
Dunno who you are, dunno why this video was in my recommended, but the reason I stopped playing is because it just wasn't fun for me anymore. I got bored lol. Anywho, great video, love your avatar.
I quit because my sister “borrowed” my
Inteire Lunar Set.
She didn’t know the game, and accidentally traded it when I was in the restroom. We where doing a “let’s see what people trade for...” experience on her account, and she wanted to see what she would get for her items plus mine.
AGH. I’m gonna join again after two years, too enjoy the lovely experience
I quitted AJ Classic and AJ Play Wild! For a long time. I quitted AJ Classic first because it was always about trading and trading and giveaways. And because there was a lot more scammers. Then that was the time I joined AJ Play Wild! It wasn’t all about trading at the beginning, people also role played. But when all new rare items started to come over, it was my fear again. It was all about trading again. I also quitted it now, and I currently thrive in Fe.ral . You can finally hang out, and do more quests with interesting prizes. And you can also explore the map and role play. You can also play games.
I’ve kinda started drifting from aj classic due to the member ships and people being obsessed with trading. Like can we go back to the days of the pillow room being full of roleplays and people willing to be friends without caring about rares? I miss it. I’m more active on play wild Because I’ve met more nicer people on there and there’s more roleplays and things aren’t always locked behind members only
Yes i agree! Animal jam isnt toxic, the worst I've seen are just immature jammers who try to beg for your stuff, but nothing really mean since aj blocks most mean words! Roblox is way more toxic, and most jammers I meet are super sweet! :3
Reminds me of when my old famous bff that I knew irl hacked me when I had a rainbow I kinda deserved it tho bc I scammed I double tail that I traded for it
I honestly just left because when I logged after not being on for a year, all my items were gone and I just didnt want to restart so I left.
Aaa I’m late but,
I actually quit aj, because I got so bored of it, and I had no friends left, and the only way I made some was because I had items they wanted, and after I declined they just unfriend me. I’m done with the game.
