The Animal Jam Thread [V12] (New Poll)

[Skullyz]

I just downloaded Aj again on mobile.

I tried logging in but it said my email was invalid, I looked up of why that would happen and to my sad news any account that has been inactive for 120 days is permanently deleted 😭

I haven’t played sense the breach that happened with this game 😅

Kinda disappointing sense I did spend a good amount of irl money on this game before, so rip all my super rares I had and pets

It has been years since I posted on here and longer since I actually did anything on AJ but I have finally, after all these years been hacked. I got on to give away my headdresses but they were gone. It was a good game but I suppose it's time I finally leave for good lol

i'm really sorry to hear this ):

animal jam was one of my first games, and my original starting account ive had for years has been banned. the most recent account
i had then disappeared out of nowhere, i wasn't able to log in but i knew the info was right. genuinely, wasn't until i knew about all of this chicken smoothie stuff that i learned what happened to my old account. i may try to retrieve it, like i did with this account, but i'm unsure if i'll be successful.

from what i remember animal jam has becoming increasingly harder to contact over the years, but i would totally encourage in seeing if there is anything at all that can be done for it at all. however, if you don't wish to that makes total sense as well and i cant blame you.

it sucks to see your hard work get taken away even when it's a game you haven't played in ages.

I appreciate the words but I had quit a long time ago and mainly got on to give away my things. This was my first time being hacked in idk like 10 years since i first started, so im more surprised by how long it took lol

oh my gosh, another game I haven’t been on in a while! The few times I did get on, the audience was a lot more mature? It’s also kinda dead… none of the servers say “full” anymore. It’s kinda sad. They’ve abandoned AJ classic, they don’t even update it often anymore.

ive been quite active on it due to lots of old friends and just being a general comfort game. the audience is definitely a lot more mature, basically returning players who had an account when they were young, just grown up. its definitely abandoned and led to ajpw being the new focused game. this is because of mobile apps had a spike in activity and due to flash shutting down, ajc can be extremely hard to update, particularly with new animals and clothing, making it extremely time-consuming.

the rarity system is insane as ever, going up and down on a complete roller-coaster. everything is measured in black longs, now referred to as "solids". clothing betas and den betas are less popular, and many have been re-added to the stores, losing worth. headdresses are worth waaaaay too much, with the light pink headdress being worth over 150 black long collars...........

about a year or two ago, there have been many hacks and even a full-fledged security breach. the security system is not as safe as it used to be with many flaws and accidental mistakes that should not have happened.

however, despite all the negatives, a new company has bought the game for a surprising 1 million and that company and ajhq are working together to improve the game.
there has been a long wait and few promises, but i'd expect they are bound to do something
I've also heard that there might be an animal jam 2? i have no idea what it is but I think its ajc but under different files and stuff to update ajc.
there is a lot to unpack but at the same time, much little change, which definitely makes ajc at least have less active players, mostly being older teenagers and adults. however there is still much the game brings to the table, as many find comfort and finding lots of interactive, fun people.
thank you for coming to my ted talk LOL

Reading about the dwindling fan base on the classic AJ and the way items rarities are being treated is kind of fascinating. I mean it's not hard to see the same trends happening here on CS with rarer pets like store pets having sky rocketed in value. It's kind of sad to see that all the old games I used to play when I was a kid are clearly just not as popular as they used to be. The discontinuing of flash put an end to the era of kids games and it seems like all the fanbases for these games are older nostalgic players. I remember watching Izzzyzzz's video about Animal Jam and they joked about how when kids are left to their own devices they create a cut throat economy of rare items (paraphrasing.) Which is hilarious but still remains true even nowadays on this website. I was explaining my fascination with CS to my roommate the other day (we are both grown adults) and she was making jokes about how the kids games economies are keeping up with the real life inflation we are experiencing. Art mimics life, huh? Now she jokes whenever she sees me hop online and asks if I'm doing well on the Chicken Smoothie Stocks. Worrying about the Chicken Smoothie Stocks is kind of my distraction from worrying about money in real life, which is a little ironic. Not to sound old and cranky, but it really is a shame that kids these days can't understand the joy of finding a new online game to play and telling all of your irl friends to sign up for an account so you could talk to each other after school. Life moves on tho and I have no doubt kids are experiencing similar things since fortnite and roblox are so popular. I miss playing Animal Jam with my childhood friends quite a bit I remember being so heart broken and crying when one of my beta wool blankets was scammed off me. Kids truly are ruthless creatures sometimes lol. Oh and going to buy a membership when I had managed to save just enough money and begging my parents to take me to get one is a core memory that I can never forget.

Sorry of this is long TLDR; I'm old and nostalgic.
