Animal Jam has a BIG FLAW.

Hey Jammers!! Today we will be discussing Animal Jam CLASSICS BIG FLAW(s). We'll discuss some of Animal Jam's history and some of the factors that go into creating the flash-game in the first place. Alongside some other issues I personally feel like intertwining into these "Flaws". All of this sort of leans on my certain opinions. Happy to hear some of yours in the comments!! Sit tight and enjoy the video. Make sure to grab a snack!

Hi, play wild player here (3d aj.) I am so sorry you guys have so little gameplay on classic. The devs should focus on your game more. I did try out classic once, and I was bombarded by paywalls and people trying to trade left and right. I did the adventures, and was kinda disappointed when the layout for them changed halfway through. Y’all are the ogs and deserve better.

[@BXBQYT]

This is actually so interesting hearing this perspective on someone who is a Play-Wild user. I played the game(Pw) when it first came out and I think the mini games are fun but I’ve never been too much of a PW player. I do know that the game has some pretty neat concepts that I wish came to classic. Wouldn’t that be cool? Just something as simple as more colors for animals.. 😂 Ah, we can only wish can’t we?

[@Spade_dragons]

Yeah, I’m also a play wild player but they really need to focus on aj classic-though they do have to completely remake the game to be able to update it because flash is gone

[@Mautskimoo]

play wild is the worst 😂 it’s no better and has absolutely no new gameplay

[@candywolf8176]

I'm a Classic AJ player, I played since 2012 but when AJ play wild came out I attempted to play that but it didn't feel the same anymore for me. I quit animal jam completely because of the lack of updates on classic and ajpw was just overwhelming to me with the amount of items on there... plus, I got scammed, not knowing better about the rares in ajpw. I tried out Feral as well and got completely disappointed when they decided to use us Beta players to sell their characters and game as an NFT and I paid money on the season passes so it felt like a scam from Wildworks. Plus, the amount of kids that play on animal jam and the restricted chat was also something that turned me away from animal jam completely. It would be cool if there was an animal game like this for older players, in my opinion, and hopefully, a system that's not too greedy with trading. Like why do we players have to keep items that never come out again in updates? Everyone's style is unique in these types of games, newer players should have a chance to require these items too. Not just pay for membership and get one day items sold once in the game. That's what ajpw has annoyed me the most, limited items I can't get cuz it was only given away for one day.

[@theceoofsayingno7825]

Fr!! Way better than most newer jambassadors tbh. Every one I see is just constant fake positivity with weirdly overwhelming commentary..?? This is way better honestly.

[@wamoou]

With the trading in animal jam, its so difficult to actually trade up since people dont really accept offers that are fair or slightly under- its hard to trade without some kind of head start. The only way i actually managed to trade up is after a friend of mine gave me a bunch of items to start with, which is sad for new players who arent exactly able to get the same kind of generosity.

[@Interstellarpool176]

i was so devastated when they basically abandoning aj and then removed spikes from adventures and lucky clovers :/ i miss this game sm but it’s just nothing now. i miss the old dens and the ajmvs and getting online everyday trying to get spikes from the forgotten desert. i don’t miss getting hacked and losing all my items and talking to the hacker from my alt tho :,) gotta love those secure aj accounts

[@Stroodle_dus_Doodles]

Lol that’s what happened to my old acc, though probably for the better because my innocent, naive little 7 yr old self thought it was an amazing idea to make my username “ZooKid123”. Not entirely sure how it went missing, though it was probably taken down or hacked or smth bc ppl were mistaking me for a z00ph!le. 💀

[@tealing_]

oh my god they did?? i used to absolutely love trying to get spikes from those adventures and lucky clovers too

[@Interstellarpool176]

[@justinmathis2970]

Add me on aj theflyinn

[@pea7422]

you found the matrix. ajhq has to add a feature where, when you level up, you get 2 diamonds. people will then do adventures ALL THE TIME

[@pea7422]

and of course, it wont break the economy

[@BXBQYT]

Diamonds for adventures would be a game changer… 😂😂 You’re right there would be people on adventures 24/7. I definitely think if a feature like that was implemented they could have it to where the easier adventures give less (and the lower the level you are does) and as you level up you earn more diamonds/when you advance to other adventures as well… Sounds really fun ngl LOL

[@LavenderCorpses]

As someone who mainly played AJ Classic specifically FOR the adventures and lore aspects, this was an interesting perspective! It definitely explains why I stopped playing AJ Classic after they just... stopped updating the adventures entirely, because outside of the adventures, I was just left with the broken trading system (which by that point was already going into decline) and had no real reasons (other than nostalgia) to keep playing. Also, the last time I logged in on Classic, all my spikes were gone... nothing else though. Pretty wacky stuff

[@BXBQYT]

A lot of accounts were apart of the data breach and pages of account info were being sold to people so they could hack them 😢

Totally feel this. I have had my account since I was 11 and I'm 22 now and just started playing again (I actually was shocked my account wasn't deactivated cause I went ghost for awhile, also all my buddies are gone cuz none of them play anymore :( ) Anyways, It really does bother me there's such a lack of players and gameplay now. I remember when people would be like come to my den for a restaurant, or a party, or theres a college at my den, or theres a concert at my den, or trading only at my den, like i feel like alot of players customized all their stuff kinda for their inner lives with their buddies, people were so creative in the beginning, the houses (mainly the bigger ones that were like specials like peck's den) were incredible. I almost miss just dying to get my "paws" lol on a rare fox hat. Like how hard they were to get. There were so many players to interact with at their peak that I think when it started to die down nobody wanted to do the adventure stuff anymore if nobody is helping them and there arent as many people like it's not as fun thats true too, really seriously now everyone in the game literally just says go to my den shop now or lets trade and half the map is empty. legit dont understand. I wish there was a way for them to make a comeback. It reminds me of how wizard 101 is now... so unedited than before and its just sad now :(

[@BXBQYT]

Yes.. the lack of ‘roleplay’ and creative dens really make it boring. I agree. I was actually thinking about this the other day. But I wish den’s were on the map in AJC. Like how it was on Club Penguin where the igloo’s were on the map. It’s just much more immersive and i feel like it could give people more of an idea to use their dens for things. I also think it started to die off when people were like “bro that’s so cringe!!” No it’s not it’s fun wym?😭😭😭

@@BXBQYT I totally feel that about the club penguin thing and I've never understood why anyone could ever think animal jam is cringy you know what I mean because it really was right up there with MovieStarPlanet also it totally drives me nuts that they kind of separated the game a little bit like if they have the animal jam classic for PC but like when you download it on a phone or something it's honestly kind of different a little bit I feel like I've also always wished that you could say more in the chat because I feel like It's blocked out so much you can kind of barely say anything without it trying to say your message is inappropriate or something when they aren't also with club penguin I loved how it was so easy to kind of hack in and say whatever you wanted but I've never been able to do that with animal jam which really makes me sad LMAO I also wish they had a little bit more cheat codes for like gems and diamonds I think they've only ever had one code for diamonds and it doesn't work anymore 😭😭😭 I also think we need more updated items but I think with the downfall we might not get as much good stuff as we used to

[@GremlinJohnny]

@@BXBQYT anytime i see people talk about when they played aj they're always like "omg the roleplays 💀" like people look at that and think it's cringy when.... no?? being a kid and roleplaying is fun 😭 i'm 15 and i think a lot of people my age look back at when they were a little kid and think of themselves as being so cringy when like... sure, everyone was a little, but also we were just kids. we were having fun. there was nothing wrong with what we were doing and tbh i would still roleplay on animal jam just for some quick funsies if people still roleplayed but they don't. it's all of these college aged people trading for their 500th light pink headdress. everywhere I look people are super rare because like u said there's barely any new players and so the rich keep getting even richer. it's all that matters now. i mean, of course there were plenty of those types of people in the older times but they didn't make up 99% of the playerbase. something you used to love so much becoming old and broken down is always so painful, sorry if that sounds a little dramatic. i miss being little ):

wtf HELP 💀but the effort of you creating that is definitely worth mentioning haha@@toastedpenguin23

[@oliviat5891]

As someone who's played since the very beginning, I think the most crucial issue that wasn't spoken about was genuinely just the audience that plays nowadays. It's mostly teens 15-19 who grew up with AJ and now prioritize trading more than anything, so the focus of the game isn't exactly on the elements like adventures, etc. anymore. It sucks, but WildWorks (or whoever owns AJC now,) doesn't seem to care enough to bring more younger players to this game to revive things. The revamped mobile AJ is much more alive with some younger audiences though (and is actually advertised on TikTok etc!)

[@BXBQYT]

I did mention the age range (briefly) in the video somewhere (LOL) Joking that we’re a bunch of senior citizens. But agreed, the issue is that the audience is supposed to technically grow out of it but we haven’t. Especially since, like you said, they aren’t targeting it towards younger players anymore… But I also think, me personally, the gameplay that’s in the game has been there for so long it’s not really prioritized anymore. We definitely need more content. As an older player I’d definitely be more interested in content than trading

[@oliviat5891]

@@BXBQYT Yeah, i guess it depends on the person too!

[@rockstarinthejarAJ]

Fun fact: 2 years ago AJHQ fired all of yoru artist of animal jam classic except for 2, I know this because my aunt used to work there and quit right before they fired everyone.

[@littlefangz1085]

this is actually cool, did your aunt work as an artist in designing animals/items etc? what did she do?

[@natalia59141]

I too am an ex animal jam addict. I however was absolutely obsessed with adventures as a kid, and there was a group of people who were as well! I remember everyday logining on and going on adventures with other people or friends. The adventures were long and there was almost a subculture of people trying to one up each other in adventures lol. Role playing was also the heart of animal jam the fact that there are no more warrior cats role playing in the forest hurts my heart 💔 one of my fondest memories is me and my friend adopting people and then goofing off. The fact that I can’t sit in the pillow room and have a conversation not about trading anymore is kinda sad another thing is that animal jam classic is almost hidden. It’s not advertised and it’s quite difficult to download now. From going to browser game to downloadable game most likely made the game unaccessible to a lot of players. I doubt as many children have access to a laptop or a computer now a days as they would to an iPad or even a phone to download their favorite game.

[@BXBQYT]

[@BXBQYT]

Ohh, I didn’t even know about that interesting

[@luluziy]

I used to play both animal jam PW and classic (stopped after the account leaks in 2020, just never reset my account password.) and one of my biggest complaints was always how pay to win it was. you want to have access to more than 2 animals? more adventures? more than one den model? actully good-looking clothes? paywall. and it made such a rift between members and non-members. i acually used to prefer PW, as you only had to buy sapphires for animals and dens mostly, no membership. but once they implemented that too, it all went downhill for me :/

[@BXBQYT]

I agree. I was a non-member for several years as my parents refused to buy me membership. (😭🙏) and I realized how much it was pay to win. Don’t get me started on when this KZbinr (who was popular at the time) showed up in the same sever as me and I asked them to be buddies they said, “I don’t buddy non-members” I was heartbroken LOL

[@fleursieaj]

After finishing the video I agree with you! A lot of the “game play” in aj is trading and my shops. The only time I get excited is updates like leap year or the holiday updates. I wish they did focus on adding more value to prizes in adventures because it’s very difficult for new players to get “rare”.

[@BXBQYT]

Absolutely agree! I just wish there was a bit more complexity within Animal Jam, something that made it a bit more immersive 😂

i still remember when i was playing animal jam (the og) i was logging on like i was *every.single.day* i checked the newsletter and saw that you’d have to go download the game instead of just typing it in the web. i was heartbroken because i’ve been playing the game since i was 4 years old, and i still play it to this day. i still remember me telling my older brother (he was the one that introduced me to the game) and he was shocked. i wish they put in more effort into animal jam as they do to ajpw. i play the game almost everyday and i usually just chill n play games on it such as best dressed, sky high, gembreaker ,ect, so it just makes me sad that flash is gone and we cant really do anything. thank you for anyone who read this and relates to me ❤

you said everthing I think about the game here. Especially the flawled trading system and how hard it is for new players to join in. I have very cool items and dens and animals on AJ Classic but basically there is NO ONE to enjoy these with me bc the game is now all about trading and I don't really have much I want to trade for anymore I got back into the game but now I'm only sticking with AJPW because there is SO MUCH new content the devs put their hearts and souls into and it actually feels like an alive world with new things to do and explore

[@kwiefaliciousmama]

they honestly should make the adventures have bigger prize pools cuz theyre always den items anyway like why not make multiple rewards instead of having a reward fixed to a chest ??

[@scp-phenomenon014]

maybe give us the option to choose between a "random" wearable item prize pool or a "random" den item prize pool

[@darkjeonjjk9552]

From experience, I found the best way to get rare items without spending HOURS trying to find people to actually trade is by joining giveaways! Find a streamer you enjoy watching and you may win some items! I've gotten 3 black longs just by doing this and in return I support and follow the streamer and help advertise for them and it's an all around win win situation!! :3

[@tokii8800]

As an almost 22 year old who used to play, I heard where they removed forgotten desert which was also the main reason people got membership including myself. TFD and earning spikes from that adventure was what kept me coming back to it. Now, I don’t really have the drive anymore.

THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT THIS!!! animal jam and webkinz as communities were my childhood, and well. webkinz has basically died. so im glad that maybe animal jam classic could have a second chance if the developers actually listen to their community and maybe can do something about it. not to mention, maybe the community upon seeing this can change too.

like if they keep recolouring items they might aswell put it behind an adventure or minigame

[@FyreStartur]

It's peak was actually surprisingly 2016-2018

[@BXBQYT]

Interesting 🤔 I couldn’t find any specific information, I just know in its earliest years the game did reach huge milestones. I have to say the most nostalgic time for me would be like 2015-2017. The game was popping off

[@lucannor6202]

Hi, former user here who started playing since 2013. After flash died, most OG players, if not immediately, eventually moved to Play Wild since it's easier to access. Though, I haven't played both games for a while. If I rejoin, I'll just challenge random players in Buddy Derby, or draw MPs. I don't even bother trading since I don't have any talent on capitalism. It's crazy how, in a blink of an eye, AJ is a decade old now.

[@Mautskimoo]

One of the best things they added were the shops imo. It’s easy to use adventures to get good items (I’ve gotten den betas and spike wrists) and sell them for profit. Then you can buy other stuff (spike wrists, shorts, longs, and other good worth items). It may take a while depending on how many adventures you’re willing to do. I’d also say to join as many fashion shows as you can because they’ll give away collars and stuff. I did a solid giveaway for the winner of my fashion show. I agree they need more stuff though. I wish they would bring back all the animals.

[@s1urpieaj]

This was such a good video! I love how everything was formatted, and how you connected the video clips to the general topic you were talking about. I also agree with everything you said, I really feel like if there was a reward for leveling up it would boost the Animal Jam economy and it would be something jammers could look forward to. Adding a reward to the game for leveling up could be difficult because they no longer use flash. But if they somehow made it work, I think it wouldn’t be difficult in the big picture. Very good video!! Lots of new perspectives, I really enjoyed it! Thank you!! 💗

[@kendallwest8724]

I agree that trading is a problem in AJC. I left the game for quite some time and when I can back that was pretty much all anyone would talk about; shops and trade. Now don't get me wrong, I like looking through the shops to see if there is anything unique but trading has become something I don't really mess with anymore. Back when I was younger I remember that trades would be you get an item you want and the person also gets an item they want...and wasn't that supposed to be the whole point of trading in AJC? Also, I remember there being, way back when WW gave us the ability to trade up to 20 items, something in the Jamma Journal about Rare=Diamond. I'm not complaining about the game, the fact people like to trade, or anything of the sort. I just thought it was interesting how much the game has change especially with regards to trading. I glad people are still enjoying the game as it is; certainly nostalgic for me. : )

Another detail about trading is the vast majority of active players buy and sell their items, with some even buying/trading for literally every possible version of that item to artifically inflate its worth.

I agree with u heavy on what you said about it not being very welcoming to new players cus of the whole item trading thing, (its also worse if you don't have membership) I can't get into my old 2015 account and im still trying to get into it, but I made a new account just so I could at least play the game or get new items, but it actually does feel discouraging not being able to really participate in trading, cus no one even wants to trade semi-rare or standard items (like last season items or rims) for something of equal value just to get like an item you'd prefer, its only super rare items people have on trade. and for a non member there's not even a lot of items u can just buy in the first place

[@BXBQYT]

Heavily agree with this, there is seriously no circulation even for the small items. I feel like they are overlooked and it’s only rare jammers trading rare jammers. 😣🙌

[@wowozella]

It's so sad to see honestly. I haven't been on the game in a long time, but when I am, I usually just go into the pillow room and wait for someone to say something insane. Trading is basically useless nowadays because no one is willing to actually do it. Thanks for making this video, it's really well done.

omg dude ur so underrated how are u not a bigger yter ur so koolio

[@BXBQYT]

Thank you!! This is only like the third video video (besides posting edits) I’ve done but I plan for more content in the future!!💗💗

[@EnbyFrog42]

I genuinely agree with all of this. This video really exceeded my expectations-- very thorough for 10 minutes! Great job :) WARNING: LONG COMMENT. I HAVE OPINIONS XD. But yeah, I definitely think that trading is a pretty contradictory feature. Many people still playing the game enjoy it, invest in it, and rely on it. Especially now, with the clothing beta crash and without The Forgotten Desert, most people are struggling to build up in worth, except for those who already had, which continued to trade. Obviously, there are still giveaways, but in-game giveaways have largely dissipated, except for the occasional fashion show-- Yes, KZbin and Instagram are pretty much the place to try your luck at getting spikes and whatnot, but at the same time some players don't have Instagram and this just excludes them further, or they prefer not to use social media. Additionally, though it's rarer nowadays, some players aren't of age to have an account on KZbin/Instagram/etc (13+). Of course, the majority of the player base is older people, high schoolers and college students, those in it for friends, nostalgia, and/or joy from trading/den decorating/etc. The thing is, this entire setup just isn't that welcoming to new players. Despite the fact that they at first might have their hopes up, once they've played all the adventures and minigames it's just boring, sometimes even frustrating. Like you mentioned in the video, adventures and minigames don't really have rewards- I think it would be extremely beneficial for there to be some sort of prize, some ulterior motive, like there is for Pack Runs in Play Wild or the minigame prizes (also in Play Wild). I understand that updates like that aren't going to happen because of Flash, but despite this problem having much more clear reasons than others in AJC, it's still a problem. New Jammers are pretty much more neglected then ever. A lot of people, for a fair yet unfortunate reason (the data breach, the Astro Squad bot raid, the trading hack) don't trust newer players as much, avoiding them, refusing to trade them, sometimes even blocking them. This severely discourages new players, and the thing is, the older players who are doing this are just scared, and that's not their fault, because WildWorks made a massive mistake that could've been evaded but was not, and for those who are still playing the game, it is a real concern for them that they could lose their account, their items, their friends- because that is something they worked for, something that in many cases they spent years working for, and to lose something you put so much effort into does have a negative impact on you, whether or not it's just a game. I think that overall it's almost impossible for new players to start out on AJC. I am technically a ''new'' player, at least in terms of when I joined (I joined in 2017-ish), and back then things were MUCH easier. I found wonderful people and I had no fear of getting hacked or scammed whatsoever (though with the scamming, I probably should've-- I learned that the hard way-- and also, there are still great people today, though parts of the community are, well... not so great), and I easily built up from adventures and TFD. Another thing to note, though, is even in those days, TFD was barred for nonmembers. This made building up as a nonmember even harder, and, well, it still is. I find that nonmembers are sometimes ignored in terms of trading-- say, a member has the same item for trade, that member is the first to receive an offer. This is just an observation of mine, so may not be accurate, but this is extremely long, so I will now end my rant.

[@BXBQYT]

Definitely agree with this all! I was a non member for the first several years I played the game and I recall people under-trading and saying to me, “You’re a non-member anyway you can’t wear them” I WAS LIKE- IT DOESNT MATTER!! 😢 Thanks for enjoying the video!! I honestly had like 30 minutes of footage I painstakingly edited down to 10 minutes. A lot of it was me blabbing so I just cut out the unnecessary yapping 😂😂 I don’t need to scare if someone with an hour long documentary video 😂!!

[@iireesepuffii]

As someone whos playing both ajpw and ajc, i very much prefer ajpw, simply due to the pure amount of things not locked behind the paywall that ajc has for the exact same things. The pet levels? You have to be a member on ajc to even participate, where in ajpw all you have to do is buy a pet station for a one-time fee of 100 sapphires instead of the 6-8(?) bucks a month for membership. A majority of the items are nonmember as well, and i love that tbh. It is glitchy at times (ahempackrunsahem) but its at least somewhat fun, ajc on the other hand... Yeah the only fun things you can do are roleplays, adventures and a few actually fun minigames. I do understand they need money to stay online but jesus christ dude can you not lock absolutely everything behind a paywall? I just like the amount of freedom you can have in ajpw. Also unicorns are a thing i guess?? I dont understand why you need to pay to get a custom one but eh i dont really care, you can trade for them and basically grow thwm up for free once they hit level 5 (i actually got an unwanted uni for basically nothing (i lied they wanted to give me them for free and i said no take some crafting crystals and a few rares) and theyre so cute??? Theyre like orange and purple, very old halloween-esque.)

[@BXBQYT]

I don’t play much of PW so I wouldn’t know but AJ definitely doesn’t have much without membership I definitely agree!

[@some_dude_maybe]

I think Animal Jam Play Wild is superior because: More free to play items More gameplay Available on multiple devices Looks better Some subscription-only features aren't taken away even after it expires

[@BXBQYT]

I wish I could get into it. There’s just something… maybe it’s nostalgia for me, about classic. I just don’t like the 3D look as much I suppose. I felt that way when Club Penguin did it too. (Although 3D CP was trash.. unlike PW but that’s a story for another day.) I really enjoy the old school feel to it

[@some_dude_maybe]

@@BXBQYT I understand, I probably dont have as much nostalgia cuz i only had subscription, like, twice in my life and without it classic AJ doesn't have much for me, but I see how fun it is for many people

[@tealing_]

so glad this came up in my recommended bc omg does it give me so much nostalgia, i used to be obsessed with animal jam when i was little and i made some really lovely friends on there, its been ages since ive played and its sad to see how its declined but its nice to look back on the game fondly, i really do miss those times

[@zRadi0Playa]

I've played AJ for literal years (like 8 now) and still have no clue how to trade. I tried to learn, but everything is constantly fluctuating and stuff I thought had worth turned out to be worthless to other players. Adventures were the only thing that kept me interested and allowed me to get "rare" but then they removed TFD

[@ChewiiCrumbz]

I would def say peak was maybe 2014/15 (most likely 15)-2018/19 2015-17 was when trading and popularity was rampant

[@ShinyMistyCat]

YOU DESERVE WAY MORE SUBS!

[@BXBQYT]

🥺🥰Thank you!!

[@misstakenwordz]

It's so sad how animal jam has completely abandoned ajc, like a failed project and started focusing on only play wild. If you look at any of the recent jambassadors or any of animal jam's social media pages, you'll see that every post is about "Brand new update in Play Wild!!". For classic, all they do is add animals that we've had for several years now. Sure, some of the recent jambassadors play ajc, but they never seem to make posts about it (besides showing off new event items.) Animal jam's moderation is also completely flawed and has been called out multiple times. I was in the pillow room in play wild recently, when I saw a new looking jammer screaming the N word in a way that animal jam would bypass, these instances also happen more often in ajc. Animal Jam right now is at an all-time high for hackers, some even finding ways to bypass 2 step verification! This has been happening so frequently, it's depressing. Animal Jam needs to work on their chat moderation, more ajc updates, and especially helping jammers who are getting hacked!

[@someone-xh9bu]

I used to play both games, tbh it would probably create a spark again if they 1: updated and connected things, like you said mentioned in this video And 2: made the game more accessible, you can only play on pc, but if they added it to mobile literally everyone would be able to play it

[@BXBQYT]

Animal Jam HQ needs to take notes 📝

[@pichujun]

i think if everytime u leveled up u would get gems or diamonds and that would encourage players to do adventures and also play as different animals too maybe

[@TealAJ]

This is well said, good job. 👌🏻

[@Bumble._.Jellybottom]

i think the best way to play animal jam is to be playing with your friends i know the best times i've had on aj was playing with friends

[@SQUIGGLEPHYSICS]

got into it again a year ago, finally got a buncha rare stuff i wanted when i was little (beta claw machine, black long collar, skullys, etc). logged in again and everything was gone, like literally every clothing item and den item.

It probably was apart of the data leak and someone reached it 😢

[@BXBQYT]

[@pitohui1800]

Without a doubt, Animal Jam is no longer what it was meant to be. This was supposed to be teaching people about animals, educational content and whatnot. The game has gone from a social and educational game to just an item grinding game. Only thing people are interested in is getting rare. People still play adventures a bit, but not for the lore, for the items. Chat system is absolutely horrible. I cant say numbers (both in word form and numerical) which is nonsense. The only good thing that has happened lately is forgotten desert being brought back yesterday. Sorry for the rant but it breaks my inner child's heart to see this game take such a disappointing turn.

[@BXBQYT]

I agree. The chat system is soooo bad. I’ve recently picked up a roleplaying group and GETTING BLOCKED IN GAME IS HORRIBLE!! 😥 But yeah, I miss the animal aspects of the game.

[@poodlemink]

Got back playing AJC and I'm tired of seeing Membership only slapped on everything. Really takes the fun out of trying to dress up your character in cool outfits. But I do still enjoy playing AJC and the new Animal jam.

[@BXBQYT]

Deck agree They really don’t consider new players and non members anymore. But tbh they never really did to begin with 🙏 (prior non member for several years)

[@-..l]

I lost my Animal jam play wild acc from the data leak. I’m still so upset about it even though I only played on my account once every so often.

[@AwesomeYena]

A fellow 2014 Jammer, huh? I agree about the adventure part and the chat system. I can't even say the word "heck" or "crap" anymore. :D-{ I never was too big into trading. Back in my day, we called black longs, well, "black longs" not "solids". BD-| I wish and miss when AJ was educational... So you want things all connect and flow? I like the sound of that, but I'd wonder how they would go about doing it. Good video. 6:10 Hey come on, I'm not old. I think? Everyone always flip-flops from calling me either 9 or 30+ years old. Most often 9 years old though.

[@BXBQYT]

Ahah! Yeah I do miss the days where the chat system was a lot more free. But that was back before people were purposely being mean and stuff (or idk not as much as today) and yeah I didn’t know what solids were up until recently HAAHH. I do miss the educational part too!!

[@AwesomeYena]

@@BXBQYT I swear, [No pun intended] those stupid, bypassing teenagers ruined everything. Their excuses are always the same, "kids dont play aj anymore" or they'll resort to dumb insults like "i bet you remind the teacher of homework". Sorry that I want to follow the rules, jeez.

As someone who is trying to trade up in AJ , i really agree with the overtrade part, unless i offer like 10 clothing betas for a member den beta (thats is worth like 6-8) , i would take at least 1 week to get at least one

[@BXBQYT]

It’s pretty difficult for those who are trading smaller items, I feel like. Like you said, clothing betas. Like people get spoiled to spike on spike trades or just bigger trades that they cannot mentally accept anything smaller 😭

[@EnaAgiota]

[@DawstheYTBoss]

Wow, never seen your channel before but your awesome! I’m an absolute fan on this type of content! You deserve more attention… I can’t imagine the hours of work you put into this video! I absolutely agree with you on this… trading and selling is the only thing that is fun about the game, and since everything added in updates revolves around sapphires, and real USD just makes you want to trade and grind for more sapphires and items to get the new stuff in updates… especially super boxes/premium items as those are SO overpriced and wanted! and then they die out and no one uses them…💀 another reason is because Animal Jam classic is getting just bad new updates… heck! Should I even technically call it “New” update?… it’s just re-skinned and recycled content now days… XD 0:56 I’m a huge Nintendo fan so to answer your question on why Miitomo shut down is because no one was using the app much as it just lost popularity over time, actually the game was literally just meant to test how Nintendo games on mobile would work out! As it was Nintendo’s first mobile game! and if people “were” using the app no one was buying stuff with real USD inside the app… plus, there was tomadochi life, and Miitopia so people’s alternative was to play Miitomo for free which lost Nintendo money… so Nintendo just took it down to save money and other stuff like that!… this actually happened to Doctor mario on mobile forgot what the game was called but it was a similar situation with Miitomo! :D

[@BXBQYT]

The reused updates on classic is sooo annoying. I can see them trying but it’s a shame they can’t do much with the game. AND OH MY GOODNESS SOMEONE KNOWS ABOUT MIIMOTO. Honestly, I like Nintendo and use some of their things but I am.. at the same time lowkey a hater. Only because I had a WII U for a very long time and they stopped supporting it(Like Netflix, online ect.) and that’s whatever but the games on there were still 50-60 USD. Like.. they are trying to break the bank. But honestly thanks for the information I never knew I just knew one day they shut down. It was really fun and I wish it was still up and running because it had this sort of uniqueness other apps don’t necessarily have.

[@DawstheYTBoss]

@@BXBQYTThe WiiU was probably the thing that’s most nostalgic to me… The countless hours I spent playing Nintendoland with my neighbor and my brother is just… INSANE!… unfortunately Miitomo was just basically a “test” game for Nintendo so it was doomed to fall sooner or later…

[@DawstheYTBoss]

@@BXBQYTYeah, first party Nintendo games usually are never under 30$ unless it’s in a “Nintendo selects” which is just a promotion that Nintendo does to sell more copies of older first party Nintendo games…

@@BXBQYTI’m hoping and praying WildWorks can take Animal Jam classic off of flash somehow… There has been rumors of a “Animal Jam 2” it’s basically just Animal Jam classic, but isn’t made with flash… this would solve every single problem with the game the chat would be which better, updates would be better, gameplay would be better and just SO many more reasons!

I think they should make a 3D animal jam world or something like wolfquest where you can go first person and out of first person, like i think they're doing to neopets which should be pretty cool to see. ^w^ Maybe even make it a vr game like they did with roblox!@ But definitely keep the classic up forever because no other game will ever be like it/the same. :(
