Very recently the jambassors have been getting more and more open. The fact that this community is getting more and more.. well.. like a community warms my heart. This went from a kids game to a welcoming place. I just want to say thank you. Have a good day WisteriaMoon.
I totally agree - I feel like desktop jammers and some jambassadors are coming together - its nice to feel that our jambassadors have a purpose again instead of AJHQ ignoring them all the time :)
I know it is so amazing how close we are getting. We have completely switched over to AJPW and even have some of those videos on our channel if anyone wants to check them out
Sorry to disagree,but the aj community is just so full of greed and deception, ofc, there is still some good jammers, but everyone's just out for themselves and it's really frustrating to be the one trying to be good when you have people who are your "friends" just for your stuff, or like, I've recently been hacked (idk who it was) and scammed (by one of my close friends) out of my best items that I worked REALLY hard for, and they were taken by some lazy person who all they had to do was guess a password, it's just upsetting bc I'm not lucky when it comes to trading at all, and I really cant do anything about it, no one can, it's just upsetting how toxic the aj community has gotten, no thinks how anyone else feels😕
Natalia Wintersparrow (( I agree with that 100% I’ve been here since 2015 and I’ve had two best friends they’ve quit and I rarely get on for how toxic it has gotten, all of the kids now are jerks, scammers, trollers you name it. I feel bad for all of the original players as the games trading system is dying and the rarity is highly decreasing. I’m sorry for your friend but if they were that important they would have never stolen your stuff. I suggest you report it to animal jam HQ then delete all contact with that friend. It’s your choice but yeah...
@@ButterflyKanae7 play wild implemented membership after years of not having it, the logo was changed, and i've grown up now. its not what it used to be
Absolutely phones just can’t run games the way computers and consoles can and using the touchscreen to play is just clunky and awkward. The world of gaming can’t move forward when confined to a device not meant for it
Right. The newest animal was from 2019 or even 2018, while the mobile app gets 1-4 (Well, they can't go a year without a new animal on the mobile app) animals a year!
Im fine with the new name for Animal Jam Classic but not for what used to be play wild Animal Jam shouldn’t steal what used to be Aj name Animal Jam is Animal Jam not play wild
I hope they make it so the ice and bridge will break when the game shuts down. Like, they fall into the ice, and find a sign, possibly talking about the story of Mira and the phantoms? Etc etc. With the bridge, they fall down and fall into the forgotten desert. I personally think a phantom boss will be nice, and impossible to beat, so when your beat, it says your character has been put into a slumber. The exiting symbol will be a “Quit.” And it’ll show them a small sign with a goodbye.
This is exactly how Club Penguin ended, they made a mobile app and now it died and noone talks about it. EDIT : geez people in this reply section are crazy...
I remember the good old days when I took aj so seriously I roelplayed practically 24/7. Even had my own aj clans wiki, what with all the Clans and Packs and stuff xD. "Classic" taught me so many social skills as a child, and how to befriend so many people. Hope an important part of my childhood doesnt shut down xC
@Nina Oliveri I did that all the time and I spent alot of my life playing AJ. Since I didn't have much friends at school at the time, this was my entire life because people would roleplay and talk and it was so much fun. I'll never be too old to play AJ though. Okay maybe when I hit 55, but that's a long ways away so while it lasts. B)
Unfortunately I just won’t end up playing “play wild” the animation just bothers me tbh. I can also see Animal Jam completely shutting down, both classic and play wild as what had happened with Club Penguin (R.I.P)
Finally someone says it! They need to put (a lot) of work into PW's animation before it looks anywhere NEAR as good as AJ Classic. I can see PW making some people motion sick, even. The camera zooms too are kind of... interesting... it feels like you should be able to move the view around really, I've caught myself trying to look around and just making the character move instead. Lasted all of a few minutes, then lost interest in the app. Think it's harder to find things to do on there or something. AJ Classic ftw~
@• Mel • fair enough. Maybe I'm just old then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ figuratively because i cant move on from the old aj, literally because definitely out of the age range (still younger than Moon though, just saying High school isn't the target age group)
I remember 6-7 years ago when I get home from school and hoping on playing animal jam on the desktop. I’ve played animal jam when I was in 2nd-3rd grade and now I’m going into my sophomore year. So it’s hard for me to join the mobile. But now I’m a beta tester for Feral, and hoping to relive my younger days with Feral. Animal jam (Classic) thank you for the good times and memories ❤️
@@colleenlam4505 Maybe if I get back into Aj Classic. I recently asked my mother- I've played Aj since I was 4 But I recently quit I had a cry session.
I remember in a video Snowyclaw revealed that Animal Jam was a contract deal between Wildworks and National Geographic meant to last for a few years. They then renewed the contract after seeing Animal Jam was a success, and extended it to last until the year 2024. Because this game seems to be dying down, it's safe to assume the game isn't going to last much longer.
keirsten özdemir yeah, they ended their contract. remember when club geoz got destroyed by ”ThE LiNeS oF pOwEr”? national GEOgraphic Club GEOz Club Geoz was a living reference to nat geo that they needed to get rid of before they got sued, and so they made ”ThE LiNeS oF pOwEr” AKA ” we need a reason to get rid of club geoz before we get sued and an plot thing that we need to introduce so we can get rid of it without the community freaking out too much” Tbh after club geoz was destroyed the game fell downhill, and it isn't stopping anytime soon. Oh and sorry about the grammar errors,
@@fluffmellow3919 talking about ajpc. if ajpc were to shut down in 2024 (which it probably will since there is not much reason left to go through the hassle of renewing the contract), then wildworks would need some kids' game to replace it. that's my theory on why they did this """migration"""
As someone who’s played since before the diamond shop even came in I’m really disappointed that I didn’t get any of the “long time pc players” and I don’t think most of the other people I know got them either. I’m not ready to fully transition to play wild, especially when everything like item worths and what not are still extremely unstable, despite it being a few years old, desktop did a lot better with that. Desktop gaming isn’t necessarily declining, it’s just declining within the age range animal jam is aimed at, with hand held devices being more accessible for younger kids, and easier for parents to watch what those kids are doing online (because if desktop gaming was declining in general I don’t see why feral would be desktop only). I can barely play feral but I don’t mind because it’s still in early access and the computer that it tuns on is an overridden windows 10, it’s only meant to be a 7 so it’s extremely slow. Overall I still see more people on classic animal jam, even new players seem to be more common. Not only that, play wild still hasn’t had community development in the few years it’s been up compared to pc animal jam after only a year or so. That’s just my thoughts though.
Tbh I actually prefer Play Wild. I used to play AJ a TON when I was younger and I discovered Play Wild a year after it came to appstores. The graphics are a lot more pleasing to look at and the items are thought out well. This is coming from an 18 yr old though so I’m not sure what younger or older people like and dislike about the game. Also Fe.ral is expected to be released to IOS and Android soon enough :) I prefer using my iPad than my computer, my computer is old and slow and I just don’t think it’s worth buying a new one when my iPad has everything I really need bar the games that I loved fondly on desktop.
Bluebins the graphics for pw are pretty good, I just personally haven’t found as much community there like I did on aj. I’m excited for feral on mobile though, my laptop is way too old and I try to play when I travel.
Ghoul I feel like the reason i prefer AJclassic isnt is bc i grew up w it, like you playing play wild feels so weird, like I’m cheating on the classic or something lmao
I stopped playing Animal Jam (Classic) because everything that was released was for members. Only two animals, limited storage, only a couple of adventures, ... It wasn’t worth playing if the only thing non-members got in months was a playable rhino. Animal Jam (Play Wild) did not have a member system for a long time and it was so refreshing. And when sapphires released, it wasn’t like diamonds. Diamonds could rarely be used by non-members, but sapphires were for everyone. I even played and finished a lot of the mini games! And you were even rewarded for buying animals with sapphires because you got a new treasure hunt! Still sad they deleted that feature, but I guess everyone gets something now, not only the people with a ton of animals.
I'm sad to see WildWorks to stop focusing on Animal Jam Classic, even though I don't play it as often anymore. But I personally feel like I've grown out of Animal Jam Classic and Mobile, so I'm more looking forward to Feral rather than anything Wildworks will do with Animal Jam.
That is exactly how I feel. AJ Classic will always have a special place in my heart, but I don't get the same joy that I used to when playing the game. So I'm very excited to start playing Fer.al.
I was recently accepted to play Feral and I can easily say it will likely become the new Animal Jam for me. AJ had always been a place for me to gain items, chill out, and have fun. The past 3 days of trying out Feral have been just that and more. Quick note, watch out for scamming. I think I witnessed someone yesterday trying to scam. No one was scammed though, so I can't say for certain if that was what they were trying to do. Unfortanently, with games like that there will always be people trying to do something wrong :/ The community is still fairly small though since it's random chance of who gets accepted, so it's not a big problem atm as far as I'm aware.
@@Iisho it's sad to see scamming happening already, even in beta, but then again with any game involving any sort of trade will involve scamming :( It's awesome to hear you've got feral now! I'm still waiting to get it lol
@@sophieahaha It's a lot of fun! :) Actually, I'm trying to record a video of the soundtrack. My computer has a hard time running Feral and recording though, so hopefully I can complete it ^^"
Literally!! And not to mention the fer.al community is kinda toxic... hhhh I wasn’t even that rare but I was locked out of my account for months and someone sold all my rare items- I lost 50 black longs worth and 4 headdresses. They didn’t take anything just recycled all of it :(
Spilled Dreams Oh I could’ve been hacked then, I remembered my password for all those years it would be strange to randomly not. I was going to log in for old times sake and was not able to get into my account, I didn’t really care so I shrugged it off. Now no one cares about making friends, only about getting rare pixels or whatever. Sucks what happened to your account though. Welp this game is going downhill I’ll just watch from afar.
Just A Random Human I highly doubt they delete inactive accounts, I know a lot of players that have been inactive for years, their accounts are still up (last time I was able to check.) Maybe they just started to delete inactive accounts? Not sure
I remember in Kindergarten or 1st grade when I was browsing my family's desktop looking for a game to play, I came across Animal Jam. I played for a really long time, and ended up quitting in January 2019, so around a year ago. I played this game for around 5 or so years. It breaks my heart to see they are doing this to a game I grew up with. I am going into 7th grade in August, and it feels like yesterday I was a little 1st grader with my first experience with internet friends. I live in Ohio, and I remember BEGGING my mom to let us visit California so I could go to Vidcon and meet all the Jambassadors. Now these videos are appearing on my feed, and with my ALL TIME FAVORITE AJ TH-camr GellyJones quitting a while ago, with Aparri quitting, and then the ones who are still left going more inactive and uploading less and less every month, it honestly hurts to see this community take the route of CP.
I quit Animal Jam about 3 or 4 years back when Play Wild first came out. I was literally addicted to the game because I'd been playing since the Beta stages and was a mega collector. I'm out of high school now but still sometimes get tempted to go back, so the fact that it's pretty much going away is kind of a good thing for me. Besides, the game got too much drama because most of us were 11-15 years old and had stupid brains.
Note: after 3 or 4 years of quitting aj, I came back last week and started playing the game again. I'm now really interested and even bought the 12-month membership if I came back, so did others due to being quarantined. I highly ever doubted this game would shut down because of some classic update.
ladybellangelprincepipermissymickey everyone I know that used to play ajpc started playing it again in quarantine, even I bought a membership so they’ll have a lot of money rolling In at the moment.
I haven't played animal jam in years and I just checked in again and saw the "you *have* to download animal jam to play now." and now you're doing a video, so sick
I used to have it downloaded, but somehow it got undownloaded and i dont have room on my 10 year old computer to reinstall it. Such a shame what AJ (both) have become
Man, I'm only a year away from being an adult now but Animal Jam was my childhood. I remember playing it every single day in third grade, and the warrior cat clans and my old friends from beta. I haven't played AJ in a long time but I'm really gonna miss this game.
Me Too... Cri I Started Playing AJ Again And I Was So Sad That For Some Reason I Couldn't Log On To Aj Classic... I Still Can't For Some Reason Though. Like A Long Time Ago I Played Forever And I Had A Really Good Friend On It...And I Stopped Playing And Now I Regret Taking A Break From Aj. Now I Can't See One Of My Best Friends On Animal Jam Anymore...We Played Together 24/7 And I Remember The Last Time I Saw Her Was When The Aj Classic Spring Update Came Out And We Were Roleplaying Being Acrobats. Brings Back So Many Memories 😥 ...
AJ gave me so many great memories, I first learned of it in first or second grade when a third or fourth grader told me about it? I'm a bit blurry on the details since it was 5, give or take, years ago, and eventually the school banned animal jam on the computers for some reason, so I'd come home and play as much as possible, probably an unhealthy amount, I remember all those troll videos about breaking the bridge in the canyons, and the ice in Mt.Shiveer. I remember the hype when a new animal, or bit of story was released, and when something cool was in the shop. I miss playing it occasionally, but I think it helped me grow as a person and learn social skills (though it seems i have forgotten many of them). Of course I also remember stupid arguments I think most younger kids on the platform had (including me) like members discriminating against non-members, or vice versa. Haha, good memories of me being innocent and dumb. Sorry for very long read- ty to those who read it all.
opinion alert: im starting to really, idk, dislike(?) animal jam, could be because im getting older but i suppose its more because of the different things that have been changing since (1) i prefer ajpc (no, like everyone else its still aj and play wild for me) videos over pw videos since i just find them more amusing and i grew up with them (2) they got rid of treasure hunts and i loved those since im big on den decorating and have always adored the treasure hunt prizes now, im not an avid pc version player myself (as my computer is pretty laggy and i rely on flash; with that having issues well you can already guess) but i still adore pc version since the graphics, the lands, the items, everything about it was just more compelling than play wild (dont get me wrong, i love both equally, there are just some things in pc that are just better for some reason) as a result, im really wishing that ajhq exerted more effort into pc to show veteran players that they are still just as important as pw players
They got rid of the treasure hunts?!!! I didn’t even know that. Man, I loved all the treasures I won from Pill Bugs. It’s really sad how AJ (and AJPW) changed in a wrong way
@@crystalmoonlgdc unfortunately, they did. last i checked it was a wheel and you get prizes for logging in every day similar to pc. thats the most recent thing i know about ajpw since i've been into other games recently but i'm pretty sure that the prizes are pets, sapphires and what not
I find it really interesting how they switched to 3D graphics to make animation easier. For those who don’t know 3D animation is done using models and moving them sort of like stop motion and 2D is mostly drawn frame by frame. 3D animation gives the added benefit of having a more realistic environment in the sense of that since it’s 3D and moving around it feels more realistic instead of it sort of having a scrolling background like the 2D games did. However, in my opinion (and a lot of people agree) the 2D environments were much prettier and pleasing to the eye and the 3D ones look much rougher. Same with the characters. I feel like if animal jam really is prioritizing play wild they should really clean up the graphics a bit. Everything looks very grainy and the animal’s eyes don’t really mesh well with their bodies, as well as some animals having much smoother moving animations than others. I remember I played PW for a while and the seal animation was great, even better than normal Animal Jam, but then you see the lizard character she was playing as in the video (I don’t know what it is I haven’t played PW in a while sorry) and it looked like a hot mess with the limbs flopping everywhere. They’ve proven they can make nice looking characters and environments with Feral, so I think they can make play wild look really good if they put some more time into improving the graphics and animations. If they did that I’d totally play play wild again
This actually makes me kinda sad. I've been playing animal jam since I was 6 (15 now) and I never really liked the mobile version. Even if I don't play it anymore, I do sometimes log on just for a bit of nostalgia.
I miss old animal jam, I have played since 2012. I tried my hardest to get my dream item, a black long. So I did. I finally got one, and had it for a year, but I decided to quit animal jam so I traded it for a couple good longs and did a give away. :)) I was happy but also was really sad. I was happy I gave back to the community.
I’m really disappointed with ajpw. They deleted the treasure hunt which was very nice and useful and they had some cool items that are now gone! It’s a big shift but will see what happens 😔
wth, this is a literal crime. I remember playing animal jam so much and collecting rares like all the time. I stopped playing a little after ajpw was released because I was growing older and such. today I was like, omggg animal jam, let me check it! now, I come and see that all of a sudden ajpw is SO MUCH more popular that ajpc and that ajpc is "animal jam classic" when ajpc has always been the best. so what I get out of this video is a bunch of kids thought ajpw is better, played it more often and animal jam saw the popularity and was like "well, I guess ajpc is done". I played ajpw and felt it was so different and just so 3d dimensional and idk just weird, im gonna play ajpc for a little for nostalgia before it's too late. r.i.p ajpc "aj classic", im gonna miss you. this whole change makes me mad and feel wierd. :(
It sucks. But that’s how Wildworks will make money I guess, cause u know they gotta have it. Kids today are turning towards more mobile app games rather than Flash games, so that’s why they had to turn it over to Play Wild.
Omg I thought I was the only one. I didn't really vibe with play wild. I guess since I played AJPC since i was very young. I worked so hard on my account to get rare and I didn't wanna start over on AJPW. I just bought a membership after not playing for about 5 years, so this is just greaaaat neews.
i guess im glad i quit animal jam "classic" a few years back already. this would've torn me up lol. sad to say the future doesn't look very bright for any of the games besides feral
I’m so happy I was born 2005 so I could actually get a childhood playing desktop games such as animal jam and club penguin as well as bin weevils, when they actually were populated and thousands and ppl played each day... so sad that it’s all coming to end (that’s how it seems anyway....) :c
This is an annoying update, but I agree with Wisteriamoon, we should not get mad because it will change nothing. I hope that everyone has a great day today! :D and stay safe!
I realized when Play wild had just become like, BIG. They didn't have any of that member's only crap, But as more people are playing. They bring it in. I love to think about it tbh :')
the player login button doesnt even show up for me IM COMPLETELY LOCKED OUT OF AJ CLASSIC i just spent 20$ on a membership and i cant even enjoy it now
The rewards for using an old Animal Jam (classic) account for Play Wild are actually quite substantial. For five days you get a reward every day you log in. Consisting of: A den, an animal, 400-600 sapphires and sometimes a clothing item as well.
i just logged in with a different account to my main that I’ve had for longer since like 2014 and I’ve never logged into ajpw (now aj) i received a panel thing that said “thanks for being an animal jam superfan! here are some gifts to help you get started” there were 5 gifts in total so you have to log in everyday for 5 days to receive them all. The gift i got first for today included 500 sapphires, a fox and an arctic wolf. i was pretty surprised as thats actually quite alot and there are still 4 gifts left but i wont be switching to play wild ill just use the sapphires for membership on ajc XD
Honestly, I prefer Play Wild over PC Animal Jam immensely. (Now Animal Jam I guess but I'm still going to call it Play Wild.) The art style for Play Wild is soo much better in my opinion. The 3D graphics are GORGEOUS. And it's also way cheaper to play than PC Animal Jam. I started off my Animal Jam years on PC and I loved it. However, it just got worse and worse over time. Around mid-2015 I would say is when everything hit the fan for me. The art style is butt ugly and the new animals they add stick out like a sore thumb, They ruined rares for everyone, membership is so too expensive and there are not enough benefits for non-members, and overall it's just not a very good experience in my opinion. It's more of a money grabber than a game nowadays. I think Play Wild is alright though. It's definitely far superior in my opinion. And you can tell they actually put a lot of time and love into this version of the game.
At this point I have been playing animal jam for 7 years. It’s been rocky at some points, but I’ve still loved the game. I never like play wild as much, it honestly wasn’t for me, but now I’m seeing my childhood being replaced with the spin off I hated.. it doesn’t feel good. This game was most of my childhood, since I never had many friends at a time, I would be playing Animal Jam. AJ has been here for me no matter what, yet it’s being threatened with shut down. I’ve always known it will be eventually, but only 10 years after it started? Maybe it’s just me but Play wild will never ever ever replace Animal Jam.
I recently rejoined animal jam as a senior in highschool. And I made my boyfriend download it too so we could play together. He downloaded the wrong one and I knew just from the way the screen looked when he made the account and was like nope you get the classic not whatever tf that is
I am an Animal Jam "Classic" player as well. I have been playing for 6 years now, almost daily unless sick or on vacation. I have dedicated many many hours on this game. I have so many memories with this game and have been trying to patiently wait on Wildworks, for new updates and new content etc. I truly love the game, but there's nothing else to obtain with no new content or adventures being added. I have just been invited to the early access beta testing for Feral. I will be trying it out to see if it is something I would enjoy transitioning to. I would continue my membership with Animal Jam "Classic" as well if some changes happen. If not, I will move to Feral. If I do not enjoy Feral, Wildworks will be losing a customer because Animal Jam "Play Wild" is just too juvenile for me. Which is a poor decision on Wildworks part because most of us "Classic" players who are outgrowing Animal Jam "Classic" will not be joining Animal Jam "Play Wild". Why would we? It's for an even younger demographic... Wildworks will be losing many membership dues. Most of us long time AJPC players buy multiple memberships a month.. Thanks for making this video Wisteria. I totally agree. It is very sad for us long time players.There's so much nostalgia in AJPC and they are gonna lose us simply from boredom, not because we want to go yet.
well i still play aj classic but the 1 thing that is a problem that game is members get most of the cool items and ive heard some jammers complaining that aj classic is unfair
Animal Jam was my favorite game, I loved everything about it. This is so sad and disappointing to see it changing like this, I hope it can some how be reversed. I don't want the original animal jam to be lost forever.
Animal Jam used to be my life. I would log on every single morning and play for HOURS XD. I would always be one of the earliest ones to watch Wisteriamoon's vids. Ever since more attention was brought to Play Wild, I just got tired of the game. I noticed more people like Aparri and many others quitting. So I've moved on to other games. It upsets me a lot now to hear that Animal Jam is now "Classic". Thank you so much Wisteria for introducing me to my first online game 💕
ive been playing ajpw since 2013 and i stopped 3 years ago and jesus when i logged back in you cant believe the nostalgia i felt. but younger kids are flooding in while the older players are leaving. theyve removed club geoz (which was such a fun place then) the gecko (loading screen nostalgia), treasure hunts (decorating), etc and its sad to see that all these things i was used to are gone now. same with the older items and animals. i stopped playing after my best friend quit but when i somehow remembered my login information and played but it just wasnt as enjoyable anymore. i feel like its changed so much and i officially quit animal jam play wild after 7 years. it's brought great memories and i'll remember it as a part of my childhood but i've outgrown it at this point.
Comment 33 since I'm ignoring the live chat. Edit: all I really have to say is PLEASE don't stop doing ajc! Even if you barely do any classic anymore, many fans can't do the new aj, and we would miss you so much!
I’m a 15 year old toddler watching this at 4am and slipping into a depressive episode thinking of everything in my childhood that’s been changed God I played that since I was 6😭 I’d be on there for hours man. It’s such a shame
I remember when AJC was so much more active. In the old days I spent literally ALL my time roleplaying, although people slowly stopped. Eventually I went inactive for about 1 or 2 months, then everything turned. Aldan forest was empty, which i used to always go there. And THEN people stopped going to bluetreeleaves! It made me extremely sad and I miss the ladybug... I was extremely sad and I started to not be able to log in my AJC account. AJPW is a great game, yet I miss the old version..
I've not been playing PC for a long time. I started late July 2019. Now this happens not even a year after I join. It makes me upset that ajhq is starting to forget about PC i've been pulled into this game only for some months. I'm very upset about the name change, the way you login and the updates. There trying to boost play wild (animal jam even though I'M NEVER going to call it animal jam) PC was the main game it brought in loads of those mobile games and play wild. Its really annoying that they only want updates on play wild. There trying to get us to play wild. They would of put down what the download button downloads. Small people are going to try and log on and see a random screen pop up. That's the age they made the game for. So why would they make there home screen like that its very annoying. 99% of jammers feel this way. The people who don't are just weird. Both games are meant to be fun but trying to make play wild more fun is not right. PC has been the main game since 2010 nothing brought in PC. Ajhq want play wild to be a better game ( I know i have said this like 100000 times but im telling you again). Ajhq is seeing hate of this update I know it so why don't they undo the update to make all players happy? Oh I know because they love play wild they cant stop making updates on it. 99% of the time the updates have already came out before on PC. PC players: sees play wild with a sheep only party. Also PC players: ajhq can we have a sheep only party? Ajhq: Sorry no we care about mobile version more then PC we don't want you to have good new updates. Like its unfair... PC version has brought me to play wild.... Why cant ajhq be grateful for that and still come out with good updates on PC? Its unfair that PC is getting forgotten by ajhq. They know people hate this update.... If someone took the time to read all of this thank you so much!
I took the time to read! You're welcome! I know this is late but welcome to Animal Jam! I was a player around 2014-16 or 17? I think? AJ made my middle school years so special and fun, and got me into art and other creative things - things that I still do today. I happened to get a craving for a nostalgia trip right in the middle of all this, so that's fun. This comment made me super happy, to see new players still coming in and loving the game that was and still is so dear to my heart
@@SouthPark-Videos superwriter26! Nerdy i know, 11 year old me was quite the character. I know it will say i haven't been on recently, that's just because my last nostalgia trip was a few months ago lol^-^ And if you ever wanted to communicate outside of that, _itsgono_ (underscore itsgono underscore) on Insta :)
Ajpw I was a guest I was always a pink bunny with hearts plastered everywhere. Hah I finally had an account I was poor (Fast forward you my final account) I was rich I had member I grew older I rarely played My membership expired I wanted to leave but I couldn’t bear to leave my childhood Everything was for members now I could barely do anything I grew more apart from it I decided to leave I’ll miss you ajpw, I joined when tigers were added. Good times, I was scammed a bunch. You will always be a piece of my childhood
I play aj on chromebook, which is super hard to think about, I cant play play wild till i get better internet, its is hard to get to the desktop website BECAUSE I BOOKMARKED WHAT PLAY WILD WAS! I was angy as heck! Lets start a conversation chromebook users! >:(
I finally went back into Animal Jam and nothing is how it used to be, I no longer have the animals I once had, all my items and rare items are gone, everything even my friends are gone, I want the old AJ back
It’s so nostalgic to come back and watch you’re videos after years. I grew up with animal jam but haven’t played in the last 4 years. I used to spend so much time and effort in the game. I can’t believe that the kids now are still coming up to you and saying the same thing they did when I was in grade 2. The fact that I played this game from the beginning to see it come here is insane. I even remember changing all the inventory to another acount in grade 3 because I thought fman122 was gonna hack me now growing up I realize just how much this game affected me. Beside all of this thanks for my childhood.
I joined AJ when I was 8 (I'm now 16) and it was pretty much my entire life for years. I stopped playing consistently in 2016 or 2017, though I still watched the TH-cam content every once in a while. Every once in a while since then I've revisited it and played for a bit out of nostalgia, the most recent time being during the free membership this quarantine. It makes me sad that they're shifting attention away from the game and onto the mobile one, since AJPC was so important during my childhood. Also, I missed hearing your voice, Mia, you were always my favorite AJ TH-camr :) I hope you're doing well for yourself, you were a huge part of my childhood!
That’s so weird I started playing classic in March on my REALLY old IMac and it asked me to allow flash, but with this new update it doesn’t do that anymore which makes me happier to play it🙂 but the first day of this update me and some other people went into AJHQ’s den on play wild and we protested because they took away our treasure hunts..🥺 I wish AJHQ didn’t make these updates even if it doesn’t ask me for flash anymore😖
I was so sad that the adventure thing was gone... I haven't played in years, and I downloaded the app this morning trying to find the phantom thing and I can't find it
Thank you Wisteria, you made a great analysis on this recent update. I’m gonna elaborate a bit, I may seem a tad bit biased because I play on mobile much more often than I do on pc. The name change with “play wild” and “classic” shouldn’t make people as upset as they are now, I get why they would think the mobile version is simply taking it’s title, but have you ever stopped to think “wow, this doesn’t change a thing in gameplay at all.” The fascinating part about this is that people are shifting the blame onto Play Wild itself, insulting its smooth and beautiful animation, calling it a shitty game, simply bashing on mobile because their childhood was Classic. I’m gonna be perfectly honest here, Animal Jam Classic was my childhood too, and I swapped to Play Wild years ago because I only had access to a mobile device at the time, in the end, I ended up favoring Play Wild for all the right reasons, because let’s face it, no matter how many times you try to look at it, Play Wild is just the *better* version. I’m not just saying that because it grew on me, I’m saying it because it’s true, Wild Works consistently updates it more than Classic, it’s being advertised in a way that leaves Animal Jam Classic in the dust. I am not saying that this update was needed, in fact, this update was highly unnecessary, all I’m asking is for people to stop insulting Play Wild just because it’s a better game, and because you play on pc. Thank you and good day.
lmao it's the opposite for me, play wild runs fine but my computer dies when i play animal jam (mind you, it can run other games with little to no lag)
As a Play Wild player that has never played AJPC, I feel really bad knowing about PC players who worked so hard for their dreams. I joined about a year ago have been playing till now but not much often anymore, off topic, I feel like AJPW has been updating too much and is starting to be a pay-to-win game, almost everything cost so much and you could pay for better experience, it also has been very laggy. Wildworks is just thirsting for money nowadays.
This is my first time playing Animal Jam in 5-6 years and I was surprised too, lol. Also glad they added Balloosh, I’ve been waiting since I was 8 lol!
Ngl, I stopped playing Animal Jam years ago because me and my friend kind of grew out of it and our memberships eventually ended, but seeing this is actually making me kind of emotional and nostalgic-
Man I'd grown so emotionally attached to that ladybug on the logo too.

@@travispeters8312 👌
Very recently the jambassors have been getting more and more open. The fact that this community is getting more and more.. well.. like a community warms my heart. This went from a kids game to a welcoming place. I just want to say thank you. Have a good day WisteriaMoon.
I totally agree - I feel like desktop jammers and some jambassadors are coming together - its nice to feel that our jambassadors have a purpose again instead of AJHQ ignoring them all the time :)
:c
I know it is so amazing how close we are getting. We have completely switched over to AJPW and even have some of those videos on our channel if anyone wants to check them out
Sorry to disagree,but the aj community is just so full of greed and deception, ofc, there is still some good jammers, but everyone's just out for themselves and it's really frustrating to be the one trying to be good when you have people who are your "friends" just for your stuff, or like, I've recently been hacked (idk who it was) and scammed (by one of my close friends) out of my best items that I worked REALLY hard for, and they were taken by some lazy person who all they had to do was guess a password, it's just upsetting bc I'm not lucky when it comes to trading at all, and I really cant do anything about it, no one can, it's just upsetting how toxic the aj community has gotten, no thinks how anyone else feels😕
Natalia Wintersparrow (( I agree with that 100% I’ve been here since 2015 and I’ve had two best friends they’ve quit and I rarely get on for how toxic it has gotten, all of the kids now are jerks, scammers, trollers you name it. I feel bad for all of the original players as the games trading system is dying and the rarity is highly decreasing. I’m sorry for your friend but if they were that important they would have never stolen your stuff. I suggest you report it to animal jam HQ then delete all contact with that friend. It’s your choice but yeah...

Mobile gaming being the future is... yikes. Little Timmy playing on his mom's iPhone 15 XS Max Pro sounds like a future I don't want to live in.
Absolutely phones just can’t run games the way computers and consoles can and using the touchscreen to play is just clunky and awkward. The world of gaming can’t move forward when confined to a device not meant for it

Judging stuff you dont even play. Wow! Very nice!
Animal jam walked, she strutted that runway, so that play wild could RUUUNNNN.

I hope they make it so the ice and bridge will break when the game shuts down.
Like, they fall into the ice, and find a sign, possibly talking about the story of Mira and the phantoms? Etc etc.
With the bridge, they fall down and fall into the forgotten desert.
I personally think a phantom boss will be nice, and impossible to beat, so when your beat, it says your character has been put into a slumber.
The exiting symbol will be a “Quit.”
And it’ll show them a small sign with a goodbye.
I doubt they're gonna put that much effort into the ending of classic.

"Classic" taught me so many social skills as a child, and how to befriend so many people. Hope an important part of my childhood doesnt shut down xC
same...
Samee
aah same
@Nina Oliveri I did that all the time and I spent alot of my life playing AJ. Since I didn't have much friends at school at the time, this was my entire life because people would roleplay and talk and it was so much fun. I'll never be too old to play AJ though. Okay maybe when I hit 55, but that's a long ways away so while it lasts. B)
I started 4 years ago... I'm now 10
This whole thing just makes me feel old
Unfortunately I just won’t end up playing “play wild” the animation just bothers me tbh. I can also see Animal Jam completely shutting down, both classic and play wild as what had happened with Club Penguin (R.I.P)
Honestly I wouldn't really care much if it does.
Finally someone says it! They need to put (a lot) of work into PW's animation before it looks anywhere NEAR as good as AJ Classic. I can see PW making some people motion sick, even. The camera zooms too are kind of... interesting... it feels like you should be able to move the view around really, I've caught myself trying to look around and just making the character move instead. Lasted all of a few minutes, then lost interest in the app. Think it's harder to find things to do on there or something. AJ Classic ftw~
Honestly TRUTH. it scares me
@• Mel • fair enough. Maybe I'm just old then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ figuratively because i cant move on from the old aj, literally because definitely out of the age range (still younger than Moon though, just saying High school isn't the target age group)
I love how you can judge something you have never played
I remember 6-7 years ago when I get home from school and hoping on playing animal jam on the desktop. I’ve played animal jam when I was in 2nd-3rd grade and now I’m going into my sophomore year. So it’s hard for me to join the mobile. But now I’m a beta tester for Feral, and hoping to relive my younger days with Feral. Animal jam (Classic) thank you for the good times and memories ❤️
Oh my God! Im in feral as well the game is so pretty!
I can relate to you.
I was a beta tester from Aj Classic...
When I quit the game and made a quitting video I cried.
I'm in Fer.al Beta too.

@@colleenlam4505 Maybe if I get back into Aj Classic.
I recently asked my mother-
I've played Aj since I was 4
But I recently quit
I had a cry session.
I remember in a video Snowyclaw revealed that Animal Jam was a contract deal between Wildworks and National Geographic meant to last for a few years. They then renewed the contract after seeing Animal Jam was a success, and extended it to last until the year 2024. Because this game seems to be dying down, it's safe to assume the game isn't going to last much longer.
keirsten özdemir yeah, they ended their contract. remember when club geoz got destroyed by ”ThE LiNeS oF pOwEr”?
national GEOgraphic
Club GEOz
Club Geoz was a living reference to nat geo that they needed to get rid of before they got sued, and so they made ”ThE LiNeS oF pOwEr” AKA ” we need a reason to get rid of club geoz before we get sued and an plot thing that we need to introduce so we can get rid of it without the community freaking out too much”
Tbh after club geoz was destroyed the game fell downhill, and it isn't stopping anytime soon.
Oh and sorry about the grammar errors,
*creates many more animal jam accounts*
are you talking about ajpc or play wild? Or both?
@@fluffmellow3919 talking about ajpc. if ajpc were to shut down in 2024 (which it probably will since there is not much reason left to go through the hassle of renewing the contract), then wildworks would need some kids' game to replace it. that's my theory on why they did this """migration"""
If aj classic ends im going to die
As someone who’s played since before the diamond shop even came in I’m really disappointed that I didn’t get any of the “long time pc players” and I don’t think most of the other people I know got them either. I’m not ready to fully transition to play wild, especially when everything like item worths and what not are still extremely unstable, despite it being a few years old, desktop did a lot better with that. Desktop gaming isn’t necessarily declining, it’s just declining within the age range animal jam is aimed at, with hand held devices being more accessible for younger kids, and easier for parents to watch what those kids are doing online (because if desktop gaming was declining in general I don’t see why feral would be desktop only). I can barely play feral but I don’t mind because it’s still in early access and the computer that it tuns on is an overridden windows 10, it’s only meant to be a 7 so it’s extremely slow. Overall I still see more people on classic animal jam, even new players seem to be more common. Not only that, play wild still hasn’t had community development in the few years it’s been up compared to pc animal jam after only a year or so. That’s just my thoughts though.
Tbh I actually prefer Play Wild. I used to play AJ a TON when I was younger and I discovered Play Wild a year after it came to appstores. The graphics are a lot more pleasing to look at and the items are thought out well. This is coming from an 18 yr old though so I’m not sure what younger or older people like and dislike about the game. Also Fe.ral is expected to be released to IOS and Android soon enough :) I prefer using my iPad than my computer, my computer is old and slow and I just don’t think it’s worth buying a new one when my iPad has everything I really need bar the games that I loved fondly on desktop.
Bluebins the graphics for pw are pretty good, I just personally haven’t found as much community there like I did on aj. I’m excited for feral on mobile though, my laptop is way too old and I try to play when I travel.
Ghoul I feel like the reason i prefer AJclassic isnt is bc i grew up w it, like you playing play wild feels so weird, like I’m cheating on the classic or something lmao
I prefer classic a lot more. THERE ARE NO ADVENTURES ON PLAY WILD :(
animal jam is just boring no one wants to talk unless your talking about rares XD
hAi chui !
Am a fan :D
*You’re
Everyone is toxic too
@@vivianwaldrop726 Who cares about that -_-
But yeah it's supposed to be "you're"
Who asked you?
I stopped playing Animal Jam (Classic) because everything that was released was for members. Only two animals, limited storage, only a couple of adventures, ...
It wasn’t worth playing if the only thing non-members got in months was a playable rhino. Animal Jam (Play Wild) did not have a member system for a long time and it was so refreshing. And when sapphires released, it wasn’t like diamonds. Diamonds could rarely be used by non-members, but sapphires were for everyone. I even played and finished a lot of the mini games! And you were even rewarded for buying animals with sapphires because you got a new treasure hunt! Still sad they deleted that feature, but I guess everyone gets something now, not only the people with a ton of animals.
Don't strike on aj just because of this they need to make money and this was one of their ideas to make money from. Your account might get banned too
@Bamboocharlie AJ Oh Lmao nice joke ya did there
I know right? I have over 10 animals and they removed treasure hunts ;-;

Mel BEGS you not to sub
They only did that for summer, so that they have the calendar slot, after summer treasure hunts will be back don’t worry..

I still call AJ AJPW.
And the PC version AJPC.
Narwhal61aj i also refuse to call aj classic
Clark Stacy: YEET LETS SLAP A BANNER THAT SAYS CLASSIC ON THERE
Kate the community manager: YEAH THAT SOUNDS GOOD
All the AJ pc fans: smh
AJ ruined the game. That's why I quit smh
I'm sad to see WildWorks to stop focusing on Animal Jam Classic, even though I don't play it as often anymore. But I personally feel like I've grown out of Animal Jam Classic and Mobile, so I'm more looking forward to Feral rather than anything Wildworks will do with Animal Jam.
That is exactly how I feel. AJ Classic will always have a special place in my heart, but I don't get the same joy that I used to when playing the game. So I'm very excited to start playing Fer.al.
I was recently accepted to play Feral and I can easily say it will likely become the new Animal Jam for me. AJ had always been a place for me to gain items, chill out, and have fun. The past 3 days of trying out Feral have been just that and more.
Quick note, watch out for scamming. I think I witnessed someone yesterday trying to scam. No one was scammed though, so I can't say for certain if that was what they were trying to do. Unfortanently, with games like that there will always be people trying to do something wrong :/ The community is still fairly small though since it's random chance of who gets accepted, so it's not a big problem atm as far as I'm aware.
@@Iisho it's sad to see scamming happening already, even in beta, but then again with any game involving any sort of trade will involve scamming :(

And also that AJHQ refuses to acknowledge that accounts are so easy to hack nowadays. Everyone who is anyone is getting hacked.
Spilled Dreams Oh I could’ve been hacked then, I remembered my password for all those years it would be strange to randomly not. I was going to log in for old times sake and was not able to get into my account, I didn’t really care so I shrugged it off. Now no one cares about making friends, only about getting rare pixels or whatever. Sucks what happened to your account though. Welp this game is going downhill I’ll just watch from afar.
Just A Random Human I highly doubt they delete inactive accounts, I know a lot of players that have been inactive for years, their accounts are still up (last time I was able to check.) Maybe they just started to delete inactive accounts? Not sure
"Mom can we have AJPC'
"We have AJPC at Home"
AJPC at Home:
I remember in Kindergarten or 1st grade when I was browsing my family's desktop looking for a game to play, I came across Animal Jam. I played for a really long time, and ended up quitting in January 2019, so around a year ago. I played this game for around 5 or so years. It breaks my heart to see they are doing this to a game I grew up with. I am going into 7th grade in August, and it feels like yesterday I was a little 1st grader with my first experience with internet friends. I live in Ohio, and I remember BEGGING my mom to let us visit California so I could go to Vidcon and meet all the Jambassadors.
Now these videos are appearing on my feed, and with my ALL TIME FAVORITE AJ TH-camr GellyJones quitting a while ago, with Aparri quitting, and then the ones who are still left going more inactive and uploading less and less every month, it honestly hurts to see this community take the route of CP.

I quit Animal Jam about 3 or 4 years back when Play Wild first came out. I was literally addicted to the game because I'd been playing since the Beta stages and was a mega collector. I'm out of high school now but still sometimes get tempted to go back, so the fact that it's pretty much going away is kind of a good thing for me. Besides, the game got too much drama because most of us were 11-15 years old and had stupid brains.

@@laurenyau4732 They had a data breach, email them for a password reset and it’ll let you in💪🏿😈
AJ gave me so many great memories, I first learned of it in first or second grade when a third or fourth grader told me about it? I'm a bit blurry on the details since it was 5, give or take, years ago, and eventually the school banned animal jam on the computers for some reason, so I'd come home and play as much as possible, probably an unhealthy amount, I remember all those troll videos about breaking the bridge in the canyons, and the ice in Mt.Shiveer. I remember the hype when a new animal, or bit of story was released, and when something cool was in the shop. I miss playing it occasionally, but I think it helped me grow as a person and learn social skills (though it seems i have forgotten many of them). Of course I also remember stupid arguments I think most younger kids on the platform had (including me) like members discriminating against non-members, or vice versa. Haha, good memories of me being innocent and dumb.
Sorry for very long read- ty to those who read it all.

I refuse to call AJPW “AJ” And will always call AJ “Classic” AJ.
YES I AGREE
Same
Exactly
actually im fine with the name change-
I kinda disagree Aj was always better to me (opinion) as Animal jam classic
opinion alert:
im starting to really, idk, dislike(?) animal jam, could be because im getting older but i suppose its more because of the different things that have been changing since (1) i prefer ajpc (no, like everyone else its still aj and play wild for me) videos over pw videos since i just find them more amusing and i grew up with them (2) they got rid of treasure hunts and i loved those since im big on den decorating and have always adored the treasure hunt prizes
now, im not an avid pc version player myself (as my computer is pretty laggy and i rely on flash; with that having issues well you can already guess) but i still adore pc version since the graphics, the lands, the items, everything about it was just more compelling than play wild (dont get me wrong, i love both equally, there are just some things in pc that are just better for some reason)
as a result, im really wishing that ajhq exerted more effort into pc to show veteran players that they are still just as important as pw players
They got rid of the treasure hunts?!!!
I didn’t even know that. Man, I loved all the treasures I won from Pill Bugs. It’s really sad how AJ (and AJPW) changed in a wrong way
@@crystalmoonlgdc unfortunately, they did. last i checked it was a wheel and you get prizes for logging in every day similar to pc. thats the most recent thing i know about ajpw since i've been into other games recently but i'm pretty sure that the prizes are pets, sapphires and what not
Yeah sorry to the people the love ajpc but im sorry im for ajpw now (just saying my opinion)
I haven’t played AJ in years i- i still remember my password idkkkk
Ooh this is ‘bout to get real
Yep
Man yeah
Ya dude
Wait, If this vid was out 9 hours ago and ur comment is 10 hours ago..🤣
The name already changed so it already got real.
I find it really interesting how they switched to 3D graphics to make animation easier. For those who don’t know 3D animation is done using models and moving them sort of like stop motion and 2D is mostly drawn frame by frame. 3D animation gives the added benefit of having a more realistic environment in the sense of that since it’s 3D and moving around it feels more realistic instead of it sort of having a scrolling background like the 2D games did. However, in my opinion (and a lot of people agree) the 2D environments were much prettier and pleasing to the eye and the 3D ones look much rougher. Same with the characters. I feel like if animal jam really is prioritizing play wild they should really clean up the graphics a bit. Everything looks very grainy and the animal’s eyes don’t really mesh well with their bodies, as well as some animals having much smoother moving animations than others. I remember I played PW for a while and the seal animation was great, even better than normal Animal Jam, but then you see the lizard character she was playing as in the video (I don’t know what it is I haven’t played PW in a while sorry) and it looked like a hot mess with the limbs flopping everywhere. They’ve proven they can make nice looking characters and environments with Feral, so I think they can make play wild look really good if they put some more time into improving the graphics and animations. If they did that I’d totally play play wild again
The lizard thing was a Komodo dragon :)
The 3D is kind of ugly in my opinion
animal jam be like: LETS TAKE AJPC AROUND THE BARN AND SHOOT IT LIKE A HORSE
This actually makes me kinda sad. I've been playing animal jam since I was 6 (15 now) and I never really liked the mobile version. Even if I don't play it anymore, I do sometimes log on just for a bit of nostalgia.
I miss old animal jam, I have played since 2012. I tried my hardest to get my dream item, a black long. So I did. I finally got one, and had it for a year, but I decided to quit animal jam so I traded it for a couple good longs and did a give away. :)) I was happy but also was really sad. I was happy I gave back to the community.
thats literally exactly what i did ! :)
I’m really disappointed with ajpw. They deleted the treasure hunt which was very nice and useful and they had some cool items that are now gone! It’s a big shift but will see what happens 😔
And all the points, gems and saphires!
yes exactly, I miss treasure hunts a lot
Its coming back. Are you guys this dumb?
Ti O I still miss them even though they are coming back
Exactly, I am really sad about that..
When she starts let's not like send her mail and stuff it will get annoying
Aleyna Jonker it’s not a livestream, it’s a premiere. It won’t annoy her
Its not even live though
Honestly they should just call it animal jam mobile it would make everything so much easier
wth, this is a literal crime. I remember playing animal jam so much and collecting rares like all the time. I stopped playing a little after ajpw was released because I was growing older and such. today I was like, omggg animal jam, let me check it! now, I come and see that all of a sudden ajpw is SO MUCH more popular that ajpc and that ajpc is "animal jam classic" when ajpc has always been the best. so what I get out of this video is a bunch of kids thought ajpw is better, played it more often and animal jam saw the popularity and was like "well, I guess ajpc is done". I played ajpw and felt it was so different and just so 3d dimensional and idk just weird, im gonna play ajpc for a little for nostalgia before it's too late. r.i.p ajpc "aj classic", im gonna miss you. this whole change makes me mad and feel wierd. :(
It sucks. But that’s how Wildworks will make money I guess, cause u know they gotta have it. Kids today are turning towards more mobile app games rather than Flash games, so that’s why they had to turn it over to Play Wild.
Omg I thought I was the only one. I didn't really vibe with play wild. I guess since I played AJPC since i was very young. I worked so hard on my account to get rare and I didn't wanna start over on AJPW. I just bought a membership after not playing for about 5 years, so this is just greaaaat neews.
i guess im glad i quit animal jam "classic" a few years back already. this would've torn me up lol. sad to say the future doesn't look very bright for any of the games besides feral
Yeah Fer.al is kind of the “new” AJ
Crystalmoon Lgdc What? wouldnt it be ajpw? lol
Fatal is boring
I’m so happy I was born 2005 so I could actually get a childhood playing desktop games such as animal jam and club penguin as well as bin weevils, when they actually were populated and thousands and ppl played each day... so sad that it’s all coming to end (that’s how it seems anyway....) :c
This is an annoying update, but I agree with Wisteriamoon, we should not get mad because it will change nothing. I hope that everyone has a great day today! :D and stay safe!
We've been asking for actual updates for years, but this was not what we meant
I realized when Play wild had just become like, BIG. They didn't have any of that member's only crap, But as more people are playing. They bring it in. I love to think about it tbh :')
the player login button doesnt even show up for me
IM COMPLETELY LOCKED OUT OF AJ CLASSIC
i just spent 20$ on a membership and i cant even enjoy it now
The rewards for using an old Animal Jam (classic) account for Play Wild are actually quite substantial. For five days you get a reward every day you log in. Consisting of: A den, an animal, 400-600 sapphires and sometimes a clothing item as well.
I still remember crisply the first day I made my account in 2011.
i just logged in with a different account to my main that I’ve had for longer since like 2014 and I’ve never logged into ajpw (now aj) i received a panel thing that said “thanks for being an animal jam superfan! here are some gifts to help you get started” there were 5 gifts in total so you have to log in everyday for 5 days to receive them all. The gift i got first for today included 500 sapphires, a fox and an arctic wolf. i was pretty surprised as thats actually quite alot and there are still 4 gifts left but i wont be switching to play wild ill just use the sapphires for membership on ajc XD
Honestly, I prefer Play Wild over PC Animal Jam immensely. (Now Animal Jam I guess but I'm still going to call it Play Wild.) The art style for Play Wild is soo much better in my opinion. The 3D graphics are GORGEOUS. And it's also way cheaper to play than PC Animal Jam. I started off my Animal Jam years on PC and I loved it. However, it just got worse and worse over time. Around mid-2015 I would say is when everything hit the fan for me. The art style is butt ugly and the new animals they add stick out like a sore thumb, They ruined rares for everyone, membership is so too expensive and there are not enough benefits for non-members, and overall it's just not a very good experience in my opinion. It's more of a money grabber than a game nowadays. I think Play Wild is alright though. It's definitely far superior in my opinion. And you can tell they actually put a lot of time and love into this version of the game.
At this point I have been playing animal jam for 7 years. It’s been rocky at some points, but I’ve still loved the game. I never like play wild as much, it honestly wasn’t for me, but now I’m seeing my childhood being replaced with the spin off I hated.. it doesn’t feel good. This game was most of my childhood, since I never had many friends at a time, I would be playing Animal Jam. AJ has been here for me no matter what, yet it’s being threatened with shut down. I’ve always known it will be eventually, but only 10 years after it started? Maybe it’s just me but Play wild will never ever ever replace Animal Jam.
I recently rejoined animal jam as a senior in highschool. And I made my boyfriend download it too so we could play together. He downloaded the wrong one and I knew just from the way the screen looked when he made the account and was like nope you get the classic not whatever tf that is
Spill the tea! Spill all of it!
she did-
I am an Animal Jam "Classic" player as well. I have been playing for 6 years now, almost daily unless sick or on vacation. I have dedicated many many hours on this game. I have so many memories with this game and have been trying to patiently wait on Wildworks, for new updates and new content etc. I truly love the game, but there's nothing else to obtain with no new content or adventures being added. I have just been invited to the early access beta testing for Feral. I will be trying it out to see if it is something I would enjoy transitioning to. I would continue my membership with Animal Jam "Classic" as well if some changes happen. If not, I will move to Feral. If I do not enjoy Feral, Wildworks will be losing a customer because Animal Jam "Play Wild" is just too juvenile for me. Which is a poor decision on Wildworks part because most of us "Classic" players who are outgrowing Animal Jam "Classic" will not be joining Animal Jam "Play Wild". Why would we? It's for an even younger demographic... Wildworks will be losing many membership dues. Most of us long time AJPC players buy multiple memberships a month.. Thanks for making this video Wisteria. I totally agree. It is very sad for us long time players.There's so much nostalgia in AJPC and they are gonna lose us simply from boredom, not because we want to go yet.
Same but I got perma banned last month for trolling, so long aj😔✌
Ohh what’s your Feral username? Maybe I can follow you 😁

... The intro was just amazing..
hi friend :3
well i still play aj classic but the 1 thing that is a problem that game is members get most of the cool items and ive heard some jammers complaining that aj classic is unfair
Ok but why is no one talking about how animal jam (new one) doesn’t even have adventure mode
Animal Jam was my favorite game, I loved everything about it. This is so sad and disappointing to see it changing like this, I hope it can some how be reversed. I don't want the original animal jam to be lost forever.
Katherine M Everything good must come to an end unfortunately
@It’s Amy :P Then kill WildWorks and sell Fer.al to someone else.
u know its a serious video when wisteria doesn't scream her name in the intro
Animal Jam used to be my life. I would log on every single morning and play for HOURS XD. I would always be one of the earliest ones to watch Wisteriamoon's vids. Ever since more attention was brought to Play Wild, I just got tired of the game. I noticed more people like Aparri and many others quitting. So I've moved on to other games. It upsets me a lot now to hear that Animal Jam is now "Classic".
Thank you so much Wisteria for introducing me to my first online game 💕
same
the youtube algrithim: heres a video about how this game you never play got maimed!
me: co- wow this gal has a really calming voice
ive been playing ajpw since 2013 and i stopped 3 years ago and jesus when i logged back in you cant believe the nostalgia i felt. but younger kids are flooding in while the older players are leaving. theyve removed club geoz (which was such a fun place then) the gecko (loading screen nostalgia), treasure hunts (decorating), etc and its sad to see that all these things i was used to are gone now. same with the older items and animals. i stopped playing after my best friend quit but when i somehow remembered my login information and played but it just wasnt as enjoyable anymore. i feel like its changed so much and i officially quit animal jam play wild after 7 years. it's brought great memories and i'll remember it as a part of my childhood but i've outgrown it at this point.
Comment 33 since I'm ignoring the live chat.
Edit: all I really have to say is PLEASE don't stop doing ajc! Even if you barely do any classic anymore, many fans can't do the new aj, and we would miss you so much!
I have also been shifting to Feral.
@@clovercat12 Why do you think so?

I’m a 15 year old toddler watching this at 4am and slipping into a depressive episode thinking of everything in my childhood that’s been changed
God I played that since I was 6😭 I’d be on there for hours man. It’s such a shame
I remember when AJC was so much more active. In the old days I spent literally ALL my time roleplaying, although people slowly stopped. Eventually I went inactive for about 1 or 2 months, then everything turned. Aldan forest was empty, which i used to always go there. And THEN people stopped going to bluetreeleaves! It made me extremely sad and I miss the ladybug... I was extremely sad and I started to not be able to log in my AJC account. AJPW is a great game, yet I miss the old version..
I've not been playing PC for a long time. I started late July 2019. Now this happens not even a year after I join. It makes me upset that ajhq is starting to forget about PC i've been pulled into this game only for some months. I'm very upset about the name change, the way you login and the updates. There trying to boost play wild (animal jam even though I'M NEVER going to call it animal jam) PC was the main game it brought in loads of those mobile games and play wild. Its really annoying that they only want updates on play wild. There trying to get us to play wild. They would of put down what the download button downloads. Small people are going to try and log on and see a random screen pop up. That's the age they made the game for. So why would they make there home screen like that its very annoying. 99% of jammers feel this way. The people who don't are just weird. Both games are meant to be fun but trying to make play wild more fun is not right. PC has been the main game since 2010 nothing brought in PC. Ajhq want play wild to be a better game ( I know i have said this like 100000 times but im telling you again). Ajhq is seeing hate of this update I know it so why don't they undo the update to make all players happy? Oh I know because they love play wild they cant stop making updates on it. 99% of the time the updates have already came out before on PC.
PC players: sees play wild with a sheep only party.
Also PC players: ajhq can we have a sheep only party?
Ajhq: Sorry no we care about mobile version more then PC we don't want you to have good new updates.
Like its unfair... PC version has brought me to play wild.... Why cant ajhq be grateful for that and still come out with good updates on PC? Its unfair that PC is getting forgotten by ajhq. They know people hate this update....
If someone took the time to read all of this thank you so much!
I took the time to read! You're welcome! I know this is late but welcome to Animal Jam! I was a player around 2014-16 or 17? I think? AJ made my middle school years so special and fun, and got me into art and other creative things - things that I still do today. I happened to get a craving for a nostalgia trip right in the middle of all this, so that's fun. This comment made me super happy, to see new players still coming in and loving the game that was and still is so dear to my heart

@@SouthPark-Videos superwriter26! Nerdy i know, 11 year old me was quite the character. I know it will say i haven't been on recently, that's just because my last nostalgia trip was a few months ago lol^-^

I swear if we don’t get anything in updates at all for aj classic I’m going to flip

I was a guest
I was always a pink bunny with hearts plastered everywhere. Hah
I finally had an account
I was poor
(Fast forward you my final account)
I was rich
I had member
I grew older
I rarely played
My membership expired
I wanted to leave but I couldn’t bear to leave my childhood
Everything was for members now
I could barely do anything
I grew more apart from it
I decided to leave
I’ll miss you ajpw, I joined when tigers were added. Good times, I was scammed a bunch. You will always be a piece of my childhood
I play aj on chromebook, which is super hard to think about, I cant play play wild till i get better internet, its is hard to get to the desktop website BECAUSE I BOOKMARKED WHAT PLAY WILD WAS! I was angy as heck! Lets start a conversation chromebook users! >:(
I finally went back into Animal Jam and nothing is how it used to be, I no longer have the animals I once had, all my items and rare items are gone, everything even my friends are gone, I want the old AJ back
I've been playing an since 2012, I quite eventually but this makes me so sad
On this episode of things I haven’t been invested in for years showing up on my recommended and making me depressed:
THE CLOWN MUSIC I'M DEAD
It’s so nostalgic to come back and watch you’re videos after years. I grew up with animal jam but haven’t played in the last 4 years. I used to spend so much time and effort in the game. I can’t believe that the kids now are still coming up to you and saying the same thing they did when I was in grade 2. The fact that I played this game from the beginning to see it come here is insane. I even remember changing all the inventory to another acount in grade 3 because I thought fman122 was gonna hack me now growing up I realize just how much this game affected me. Beside all of this thanks for my childhood.
I joined AJ when I was 8 (I'm now 16) and it was pretty much my entire life for years. I stopped playing consistently in 2016 or 2017, though I still watched the TH-cam content every once in a while. Every once in a while since then I've revisited it and played for a bit out of nostalgia, the most recent time being during the free membership this quarantine. It makes me sad that they're shifting attention away from the game and onto the mobile one, since AJPC was so important during my childhood.
Also, I missed hearing your voice, Mia, you were always my favorite AJ TH-camr :) I hope you're doing well for yourself, you were a huge part of my childhood!
That’s so weird I started playing classic in March on my REALLY old IMac and it asked me to allow flash, but with this new update it doesn’t do that anymore which makes me happier to play it🙂 but the first day of this update me and some other people went into AJHQ’s den on play wild and we protested because they took away our treasure hunts..🥺 I wish AJHQ didn’t make these updates even if it doesn’t ask me for flash anymore😖
What happened to the old Hey guys it’s wisteriamoOOn here
intro: no “wisteriamOON” me: 👁👄👁
I was so sad that the adventure thing was gone... I haven't played in years, and I downloaded the app this morning trying to find the phantom thing and I can't find it
Thank you Wisteria, you made a great analysis on this recent update. I’m gonna elaborate a bit, I may seem a tad bit biased because I play on mobile much more often than I do on pc. The name change with “play wild” and “classic” shouldn’t make people as upset as they are now, I get why they would think the mobile version is simply taking it’s title, but have you ever stopped to think “wow, this doesn’t change a thing in gameplay at all.” The fascinating part about this is that people are shifting the blame onto Play Wild itself, insulting its smooth and beautiful animation, calling it a shitty game, simply bashing on mobile because their childhood was Classic. I’m gonna be perfectly honest here, Animal Jam Classic was my childhood too, and I swapped to Play Wild years ago because I only had access to a mobile device at the time, in the end, I ended up favoring Play Wild for all the right reasons, because let’s face it, no matter how many times you try to look at it, Play Wild is just the *better* version. I’m not just saying that because it grew on me, I’m saying it because it’s true, Wild Works consistently updates it more than Classic, it’s being advertised in a way that leaves Animal Jam Classic in the dust. I am not saying that this update was needed, in fact, this update was highly unnecessary, all I’m asking is for people to stop insulting Play Wild just because it’s a better game, and because you play on pc. Thank you and good day.
I just started playing ajpw but it lags me out so much, so i;m just vibin here with aj classic :3
lmao it's the opposite for me, play wild runs fine but my computer dies when i play animal jam (mind you, it can run other games with little to no lag)
What did u call aj???
As a Play Wild player that has never played AJPC, I feel really bad knowing about PC players who worked so hard for their dreams. I joined about a year ago have been playing till now but not much often anymore, off topic, I feel like AJPW has been updating too much and is starting to be a pay-to-win game, almost everything cost so much and you could pay for better experience, it also has been very laggy. Wildworks is just thirsting for money nowadays.
This is my first time playing Animal Jam in 5-6 years and I was surprised too, lol. Also glad they added Balloosh, I’ve been waiting since I was 8 lol!
I downloaded the game but it won't open. A blue screen appeared.I waited for 10hours but it did not turn on.What should i do?
Ngl, I stopped playing Animal Jam years ago because me and my friend kind of grew out of it and our memberships eventually ended, but seeing this is actually making me kind of emotional and nostalgic-
