    Update:
    Animal Jam has removed the FrankenBunny part in the Jamaa Journal due to the backlash.

    it’s hilarious to me that i found this video right after animal jam refunded my credit card from a mishap a week ago😭 i was buying 6 month membership for 30 dollars but it was refusing to go through using my card, so i ended up trying it quite a few times. eventually i ended up just using paypal instead but after a few hours i realized that aj had taken 60 dollars PLUS those 30 dollars using paypal from my account even though i never received those initial purchases😀 took my bank a week to get my money back but boy was that an experience

    I miss it when Wildworks still owned Animal jam beacuse they was not so greedy but then when Animal jam was sold to Nazara Animal jam turned into a very expensive game the animals the dens everything became more expensive beacuse Nazara is money hungry

      @aciditypossum 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      as a person who started on classic for years, denied pw and proceeded to get actually addicted to it; its just a more reformed version of classic with just as little moderation, just as much bias and more microtransactions that need a lot more work to get without money and especially if you arent a member

    Mobile games that primarily tell you to pay real money for an item and later have an option to use in game currency should be against app guidelines or something. Thats such scummy behavior to do to children.

    really long comment, sorry)
    I used to play a lot in 2018-2020 (I was still a teenager at the time) one of the things I liked to do was try to get rares, like, I know they're just pixels but I thought it was a fun challenge
    unfortunately I ended up losing my old account due to my mistake (I deleted my old email and forgot to change it) and I only now decided to start playing again but my goodness - there are a lot of things that I was like??
    1- the new exchange system
    2- the store system (another reason to have to buy sapphires if you want to have good/cool things)
    3- unicorns and dragons (looks like a betting game)
    and my biggest disappointment is with the rainbow pets, the amount of sapphires, real money and time spent just for a colorful pet is very stupid, especially now that bees are no longer bought for gems :(
    Sorry for the long text, I needed to vent and my English is kind of bad so I had to use Google translate

    It makes no sense that they would also put them in stores for 50 sapphires. If they are trying to make money then don't sell them for sapphires. This makes me think this might be a mistake.

    I'm an adult now but occasionally i'll check out classic and play wild just to see what's going on. I didn't notice they were in the petshop either and I just started browsing through explorer to see how people were pricing them. I feel like the toxic way of running things like these makes the players become somewhat toxic as well. I've known the company behind animal jam was greedy but man, playwild didn't have as many microtransactions as it did before.

    This is a shame because everything where kids can be kids and have fun is gone now! The flash game websites are all filled with weird phone app games that are often perverted, Animal Jam isn't how it used to be, Club Penguin is gone, Disney's Create art website is gone, and I don't think PBS kids website even has game son there anymore! No wonder why gen alpha is so obsessed with that skibidi toilet brain-rot, there's literally no spaces for them to be a kid! Like, can't we have at least one safe space for kids?
    When I used to play Animal Jam, you could literally just go online, log in, and start playing games! Why is everything so complicated now!? I don't wanna download apps, I want to be able to just go online and play without having to empty out my bank account to move onto the next level!

    Me: Bro their overpriced
    Them: ?
    Me: you can litterally get them in claws n paws for 50 saphs
    Them: I traded for them, the jammer said they were 150
    Me: buddy I think they scammed you-
