I honestly believe that this is a nice change for some people, as they have an easier experience. Also, their membership prices went up, so I guess that’s why they added the new “choose your pet” thing. On the other hand, there are still a few people mad about this change, as they had worked hard for their pets while the new jammers can get free pets. Honestly, the little “get a free pet if you log on for at least 5 days” button just solved the whole problem. This was a great documentation, and I can’t wait for more!
And I love that they let new jammers own a first pet, it makes it more enjoyable for he newer players (also with the fox and tiger I’m happy because now I can buy multiple without going broke)
I dislike when fellas say "Mannn, I worked so hardd, it just ain't fairrr". They've got to realize that's just the way life is. You may not have something back then, but then it is provided to others in the future (for good reasons too). The updates were senseable. In fact, fellas should be proud that they worked hard before the item released once more.
As someone who has been playing AJ Classic since 2014 and was a Non Member for years on that game (which is a real struggle even to this day) I think this change is great for AJPW. Don't get me wrong, it can be upsetting over someone getting something "for free" when you had to work hard for it, but think about how much easier it will be for the literal children playing this game. Heck I was 10 when I started playing AJ and I struggled so hard to get any items for non members that were even remotely good. Knowing that the kids playing now not only have more freedoms as non members but also get a better tutorial than what's on AJC and a free pet?? I find that great. In my opinion, a children's game should be more based on having fun than constantly grinding for stuff. I genuinely dislike things like the Alpha Items and the items AJ releases that are purely there to just add more to the whole rarity system in this game for 7-12 year olds. If anything, things like the Alpha items in the game only justify this positive change to me. So many of those new players may never even get the chance to own an alpha item even if they really wanted to. Letting them have just something nice even if it's for free is a very positive change. Heck on AJC non members can't even own the puppies or kitties, all we had was a hamster! In conclusion I think this change is amazing and the people complaining, as harsh as it may sound, just have to move on, there's nothing you can really do about this anyway. I understand how frustrating it is, but the bright side is that the children who just want to enjoy the game will have a better experience with it. This is really no different than the people who give away stuff or donate things to jammers who aren't that rare, it's just on a much larger scale. Besides it's just the lab puppies and the kitties, all of the other cool pets you can get you still have to work for, so I don't see the issue. You can't even customize the pet or name it, so really there's no reason for people to assume new players don't have to work for pets they'll want. I'm just glad to see that the game has gone from 2 measly den items on AJC to new players on AJPW getting better tutorials, a better selection of animals, a free pet, and even den themes for better inspiration.
As somebody who bought both the tiger and panda before they got sold for gems instead I see no issue, especially since saving for an animal to play as can be difficult, you have to play lots of mini games to earn 150 sapphires and the new players would stay in animal jam longer and make it a more popular fan base
I’m happy for them! People should just accept that new jammers can get these things! I understand that people worked really hard… but it’s just a game 😅
For me, I am perfectly fine with new jammers getting more, personally I think it is great because it makes new jammers less likely to quit early on. I agree somewhat with your perception of "rare" animals, I am okay with them being brought back, but I also would be fine if they just released variants. Personally think it would be better because older jammers wouldn't be upset from the variants and new jammers or jammers who didn't get the animal the first time get a similar animal and fyi this is coming from someone who didn't have a raccoon before the Fab 5 Token. I was a-okay with just the rainbow, but don't get me wrong, I was gawking when I saw the sneak peek showing off that token and all the animals you could get from it. If Aj really doesn't want to upset both parties which I highly doubt they really care, but for the sake of argument let's just say they do, I really think releasing variants of animals, items, and pets would be the best option for those with a higher rarity.
it's a very 50/50 situation between older players and newer players, I'm a bit of both and luckily I get the best of both sides, I can't be ungrateful for what aj is doing for the newer players because a game does need to retain a player base to make a profit
Another amazing video from you. I agree with you on the animal one. But also it's quality of life for older players too. I missed the snowflake Arctic Wolf on AJC however now it's in stores so it's convenient. The convenience factor overrules the depression factor lol. But we all love to subtly flex lol
Animal jam is the most fun ive had from a mobile game even with all the new updates. For context, I first downloaded this game about 4 years ago and fell out of love with it but I still log in every now and again just to see whats new. I just save my sapphires and try to have fun. My biggest flex in this game is having the confetti glasses, jetpack, and hat 😂.
I actually really hate people who don't like old animals coming back because again- you can't trade them- and it almost seems like THEY just want to seem more 'beta' and 'rare' compared to everyone else. (you're probably the nicest 'rare' person i've ever seen on the game- like genuinely)
Personally, yeah. I just rejoined last Monday, and I just got a blackout. I played for years on an old account and the best I got was Galaxy wings, so yeah.
it was so entertaining watching u try to remember fierce’s username LOLOLOL i love your vids i think its really awesome animal jam content is still being made in 2023 ! keep it up :3
I dont think they do, I honestly think its nice they made the thing easier, sure it took me a year to get my first pet from a code, but im glad younger people/newer players dont have to experience the new player jealousy i like to call it.
I was pretty upset at first because I worked pretty hard for everything, took me a pretty long time to get pets (trading for pets) & the animals that used to cost sapphires but I think that it’s pretty nice for new jammers to get more stuff and not need to be like “pls give me a free pet/stuff” lol so I think that this feature isn’t that bad. I think that fab five was just cool since I really wanted an otter but what I really thought was infuriating was that sapphires are worth so much less I preferred when sapphires where harder to earn and not like you can get from almost everything something else that is sad for the Aj community is that people care so much about items rather then having fun and roleplays. Nice video! 👍
AYO bro it’s not like new jammers are getting free wbs. Plus I’m happy- all those people who always beg for pets, I can just tell them if they joined recently they can get a pet for free. Someone said they started in 2021 but was level 1. I told them then they don’t seem too active so there is no reason they would need a pet. They were silent after that. And now if u log in for 5 days you get to choose a free pet lol. Soo I think it’s fine.
back in my day, we got a table and rug smh. /j nah but i think it’s nice, tbh, when i was new it was so hard to start with so little. i’m glad newer players get items, it makes it easier and better to play.
In all honesty, I think the free pets and dens are fine! But maybe not the fox and panda! Maybe a less “valuable” animal would do! But I wish we got to choose den themes back in 2017!
Seriously people need to stop complaining like the new jammers get free pets and stuff yeah but if u work for ur pet it’s a tradeable pet and if u get a free one u can’t sell or trade it or even put it on expeditions the pet is a useless pet just for fashion so ppl at least u can trade and sell ur working hard for pets jammers just be happy for new players also u can make a new account and then trade all den items to ur main! Also aj added the 5 days log in get a free pet is kinda like a new jammers experience it’s kinda cool how they made the new feature thank u for ur time.
we need this change for royale high, because the game is popular but not having enough players is there struggle because of how hard it is and how you have to dedicate so much time to have money items etc in game
when I first started 2016 2017 I was like a white rabbit and I didn’t know how to buy new clothes so I would wear the starter ones so I think it’s better that they have free stuff for new jammers now!
Needing to make an income off of free-to-play game is not greed in most games you're paying like $8 Canadian for a pet $25 Canadian for a character. $15 a month for a subscription. You can get a den, a pet and a lot of items with one subscription service for $13 items are priced reasonably and the game has lots of updates
2 years ago, I really wanted the Epic Jamaalidays Bundle. So I sold a lot of stuff, including my black spiked collar, nutcracker boots and Meagyn pet bear. It was totally worth it because I got a fox (It was my dream animal back then), a moose and A SHEEP (Really wanted to go to the sheep party). And also much more if you're asking me. So at first I was kind of complaining about foxes being sold for gems and the Fab 5 Animal Token. (Keep in mind that I have a Coyote too) New Jammers are so lucky! I got a fox for 1k saps :')
i was far more interested by you trying to find fiercefox than the actual talk you did XD But tbh, I didn't had any problem since i disliked dogs n cats from aj so never bought them, and preffered fennec over fox because aesthetic things, it was a surprise when i logged back to see all, i'm mostly not happy with the fact that you cant trade the pets you get because that means you cant get rid of them and now i have a pink cat i dont want :,b
Back in February, I was so fed up about not understanding the rarity system that I challenged myself to gain worth without begging for free items. Like any other MMO, if you do not pay for premium (or convenience), its going to take you a LOT of time to get where you want to be. it took me a month and a half to get "rare". I finished the 'great gamer' badge quest. Finishing that badge quest left me with a lot of sapphires and gems. So I purchased a My Shop, Claw Machine, Touch Pool Arcade. You know, stuff that spawns in items that can be sold. then from the my shop sales, I slowly started purchasing Paintseed trees so I could participate in Phantom drops. Eventually in March, I got Starlight Wings from the Phantom drop and honestly tried to sell them off as fast as I could because I personally didn't like them. It might be under but I got 15k sapphires, a couple of ruby tier pets, Teal Forest Boots, etc etc. So even then, it was still based off of luck. In the end, I still do not understand, but I do have a lot of valuable items. lol So honestly, no! New Players do NOT have it easy. Old players ALWAYS try to move on the next niche thing when things like this happen. Those sapphires old players spent on Animals are long gone and they should've been okay with what they purchased. If not, all I can really say is try to be a bit more frugal.
The two complaints I don’t understand is definitely the new jammers getting free pets and the old animals thing. I mean it’s not like the free pets are good pets, they’re just cats and dogs which many people don’t even care about. I personally don’t even care about the free pet thing I think it’s fantastic. And as for the old animals, I seriously don’t understand that at all. Like you said, it’s not like these people can trade or gift these animals. I think people just got upset because they won’t be able to flex their old animals anymore or something like that. That’s really the only reason I could see someone being upset. Animal Jam classic constantly brings back animals so I don’t see why them bringing back animals on the mobile game is any different. I know Classic brings back each animal like almost every year but my point still stands
I just started animal jam again a couple months ago and the free pet thing was confusing to me I think there was a time pets were only for members except hamsters is the last time I really played for a while. But getting two free pets is just a little much I think like why is it a thing and why do people still beg for pets saying they have no pets when they do
I've been playing this game for around 8 years (give or take) and, IMO, these updates are really good for newer players. Giving them a pet rules out the "give me a free pet I'm new" scam, and makes players play the game longer which grows a stronger community! It was a good choice to make them untradable, so you couldn't just farm spares and basically duplicate pets. I do think the thing with the fox coming in stores was a bit unfair- Making them cost sapphires, or at least give older players who recently had the animal a refund in sapphires, would be a more practical choice but other than that, I think animal jam is making a good choice overall! Btw, how are you feeling? On Lala's stream you told me you weren't feeling great. That really sucks- I hope you feel better soon, and good luck on Jambassidor!
As someone who played animal jam for years and lost the account because of the data breach... This really makes me want to start a new account if it means to be fair with new jammers
I used to play before this whole free pet buisness, left and recently started a new account. And, tbh, I don’t have a problem with it. Since the target audience is little kids, after the popularity drop, they need to make it a little easier. I think it’s pretty smart, but they need to try to adapt for their younger and older audiences.
I kinda dislike the update too cuz now you cant even choose your animals name, and now the old tutorial is gone which was so peaceful and nostalagic :( About the pet update i think it wasnt worth to do it because jammers should get their first pet with good memories and a pet with colors they prefer. For some ppl the superbox and encore animal thingie was like super exciting and awesome but for some ppl it was a shame cuz they prob had an old animal which was rarity and uncommon. I feel like after Nazara bought AJPW the population of it started to decrease :(
I think old animals coming back in superboxes for money (or sapphires in the shop explorer) is sort of nice for people who have been hacked or banned in the past, or moved accounts, to have the animals they used to back. As well as people who are new.
It makes me slightly upset, when I started animal jam, I was a guest jammer most the time, it's slightly easier but still. New jammers are kinda spoiled. It took me WEEKS to get my first pet. I don't mean to be rude, it's kinda cool new jammers get stuff. ✨
I SPENT FIVE QUID ON THAT PANDA JUST FOR IT TO BECOME AVAILABLE A WEEK LATER FOR GEMS LOL 😭 I’m not complaining btw I love my panda hehe but it find it so funny XD
I havent bought a fox or panda in like 7 years so when they became worth gems im like ooo i can get more foxes for cheap 😂. Also the oldest pet i own was adopted june 6 2016 i think that was the month pets first got added
@@Minikitty130 So basically got sapphires by paying money and bought a shop. Then, it was a super-box month and I bought the super-box items and sold the items for cheap. I then bought a new den and Arctic wolf because yes lol. After I bought items such as nocturnal cuffs and horns and blackout bow, etc. I recycled the starter items for gems and bought stuff in game that cost gems then sold it for cheap sapphires . After around 10 minutes I bought membership, then den items like phantom portal, pet sitter, paintseeds, etc. I bought adoption coins and got pets to sell and then level some up that I liked. After around 15 minutes, I looked like a decently rich jammer.
Its not only new jammers, some people got hacked, and made new accs to start over, so its fair! (By the way ive got hacked 2 months ago and, i started on a new acc froggyplays14 )
Honestly, I was pretty upset of the fact they brought the old animals back. I think having an old animal really showed how long I played the game. And yes not going to lie, I did flex sometimes 😂
I personally got really mad when I found out that they’d made foxes, pandas and tigers free/for gems. I really don’t think it was necessary to make them free, especially foxes. I know they just want to give new players more choice and stuff, but in total I spent 450 saphires on all of those animals, and these were in the days I had no membership and there were no daily spins and stuff so saphires were much harder to get. I got especially angry over the fox, they’re like the best animal in the game in my opinion when it comes to design and it was my main animal but now I wouldn’t want to really go out as a fox much because now they’re just a common gem animal. I didn’t mind the pets though much because as you said in the vid, they’re just common pets that are like 50 saps. But the foxes I still am upset about. It’s not the fact that new jammers get foxes and I didn’t that upsets me, it’s the fact that I barely use my fox now even though it’s my fav animal because now it’s associated with new jammers and stuff. That’s just my very strong opinion on the matter, feel free to disagree with me of course. I have forgiven AJ by now of course but I still wish foxes weren’t free 😢
your buddies with avabowtie!?! i was too then she got really mad bc i was subscribed to you then got all her buddies to come after me she also hated against a small youtuber diamondstarAJ so all im going to say is be careful with her
New accounts getting free pets is good. They can't say they don't have a pet now. Less scamming. Animal jam has clearly shown that they want to help avoid scamming.
I don't think new jammer have it "too easy" because it's a kids game and kids games should have children have fun in their game without being heavily pay to win.
Honestly, I think its unfair that new jammers get all of that new Pets/Clothing/Den items, I feel like they feel more intitled to more items, I see a lot of new jammers lvl 1-8: Asking for free items because there 'Poor' It gets annoying bc i see it a LOT in the: Fox lairs: Sapphire shops: Pillow rooms: Etc, Before you had to start up from scratch, No free pets, No free den items, No extra gems and sapphires, The update is nice, But more people are starting to realize aj is giving more 'alpha luck'' to new jammers, So more people leave there accounts to new jammers.. I lost count on how many sapphires i've had to buy, To get Clothing, Pets, And den items, So seeing new jammers getting all that, Is likeee.... :// Unfair? I mean its a good start for em, But its still unfair to other people who took months or even years just to get decent items, Soo i feel like thats why others are irritated/complaining , . Plus ajhq gave better luck to new jammers? Like finding starlight in a hour? Like seriously, Not very fairr-... Its awesome that they started to give new jammers moree !., But i think for the furture they shouldnt overkill.
Spawn rate for alphas do not change for new accounts, I’ve tested this theory myself awhile back when I was doing a fossil hoard for tiktok. Other than that, I can feel ya. Thanks for your input 💜
It isn't unfair. Just because you suffered to get stuff doesn't mean others should (by the definition it's unfair you're born into a house, don't have to fight for food, our ancestors didn't this luxury did they? Or how about it being unfair you have a phone or whatever? People 10-20 years ago didn't, communication was harder then. Do you think you shouldn't have that stuff? Ofc not! So why is it different with a game??)..being upset newer players have more things available to them than you did years ago is just..not it? It's like how when you buy a game and the price lowers over time..I've never complained a game I bought is cheaper now than when I got it, like good for the new people! I don't feel scammed that the worth has gone down..I don't feel the need to be superior or flex on others, I'm just happy others can get it. Things are going to change over time..worth, availabilty, it's nothing worth being upset over! I feel the same for AJ..
Too easy? Last time I played, I didn't get the option to even get a pet.... I lost my old account and the new one never had the option to get a free pet. So when was this?
respectfully, if we’re going to cry about animal jam bringing back old animals because of their “rarity” that’s just ridiculous while purchasing with real money YES is a whole new can of worms, like you said animals have no rarity so animal jam community don’t cry over animals coming back because they’re “rare”… thanks
I like the idea of they get a good experience with this stuff but i have 1 problem i don't think they should think oh i get this stuff for free i can get more stuff for free you know and AMAZING work kijjikon

Like seriously its good
back in my day the only way to get sapphires was either to buy them or do treasure hunts and with treasure hunts you would get like maybe 1 a day
I remember those days. Man. I miss treasure hunts

Good job writing all that :D /pos (sorry if i sound mean! I genuinely admire that :D)
As somebody who bought both the tiger and panda before they got sold for gems instead I see no issue, especially since saving for an animal to play as can be difficult, you have to play lots of mini games to earn 150 sapphires and the new players would stay in animal jam longer and make it a more popular fan base

I’m happy for them! People should just accept that new jammers can get these things! I understand that people worked really hard… but it’s just a game 😅
yea agree when i new jammers i not have free pet i know lot of pepole work really hard when i saw TUTORIAL new jammer i glad they do it free pet
Yes a game all my hard work is gone I play since 2016 :(
I’ve learned just to accept that the game is changing, it is getting easier for new jammers. But like you said it is just a game to have fun on 👍🏼

I dont think they do, I honestly think its nice they made the thing easier, sure it took me a year to get my first pet from a code, but im glad younger people/newer players dont have to experience the new player jealousy i like to call it.
I worked really hard to get my pet but it was worth it for being able to choose what pet I got, I got a rock
I remember when I spent SO long getting a pet falcon when it was the last day to get them.
Worth it. Falcons are cute
I was pretty upset at first because I worked pretty hard for everything, took me a pretty long time to get pets (trading for pets) & the animals that used to cost sapphires but I think that it’s pretty nice for new jammers to get more stuff and not need to be like “pls give me a free pet/stuff” lol so I think that this feature isn’t that bad.

I agree with this new change I think it's a great way to involve new players
Aj is gettin crazy
I loved the fab 5 animal token, they basically made some animals tradeable
Your so right !!!
Fr tho, i started AJ whwn i was 6. I workedso hard to get my first ever cat, but the fact newbies r getting it for free??
When foxes became purchaseable with gems I just bought another fox, problem solved two foxes
2 years ago, I really wanted the Epic Jamaalidays Bundle. So I sold a lot of stuff, including my black spiked collar, nutcracker boots and Meagyn pet bear. It was totally worth it because I got a fox (It was my dream animal back then), a moose and A SHEEP (Really wanted to go to the sheep party). And also much more if you're asking me. So at first I was kind of complaining about foxes being sold for gems and the Fab 5 Animal Token. (Keep in mind that I have a Coyote too)
New Jammers are so lucky! I got a fox for 1k saps :')
More and more the game is changing, but I’ve learned just to accept it and have fun. 😁
People are overreacting,
Ajhq is doing the right thing
i was far more interested by you trying to find fiercefox than the actual talk you did XD
But tbh, I didn't had any problem since i disliked dogs n cats from aj so never bought them, and preffered fennec over fox because aesthetic things, it was a surprise when i logged back to see all, i'm mostly not happy with the fact that you cant trade the pets you get because that means you cant get rid of them and now i have a pink cat i dont want :,b
Sorry to be that person but what’s the name of the song in the background??
it sounds like slime rancher 2 music, its probably not tbh but its similiar
Back in February, I was so fed up about not understanding the rarity system that I challenged myself to gain worth without begging for free items. Like any other MMO, if you do not pay for premium (or convenience), its going to take you a LOT of time to get where you want to be.
it took me a month and a half to get "rare". I finished the 'great gamer' badge quest. Finishing that badge quest left me with a lot of sapphires and gems. So I purchased a My Shop, Claw Machine, Touch Pool Arcade. You know, stuff that spawns in items that can be sold. then from the my shop sales, I slowly started purchasing Paintseed trees so I could participate in Phantom drops.
Eventually in March, I got Starlight Wings from the Phantom drop and honestly tried to sell them off as fast as I could because I personally didn't like them. It might be under but I got 15k sapphires, a couple of ruby tier pets, Teal Forest Boots, etc etc. So even then, it was still based off of luck. In the end, I still do not understand, but I do have a lot of valuable items. lol
So honestly, no! New Players do NOT have it easy. Old players ALWAYS try to move on the next niche thing when things like this happen. Those sapphires old players spent on Animals are long gone and they should've been okay with what they purchased. If not, all I can really say is try to be a bit more frugal.
The two complaints I don’t understand is definitely the new jammers getting free pets and the old animals thing. I mean it’s not like the free pets are good pets, they’re just cats and dogs which many people don’t even care about. I personally don’t even care about the free pet thing I think it’s fantastic. And as for the old animals, I seriously don’t understand that at all. Like you said, it’s not like these people can trade or gift these animals. I think people just got upset because they won’t be able to flex their old animals anymore or something like that. That’s really the only reason I could see someone being upset. Animal Jam classic constantly brings back animals so I don’t see why them bringing back animals on the mobile game is any different. I know Classic brings back each animal like almost every year but my point still stands
I just started animal jam again a couple months ago and the free pet thing was confusing to me I think there was a time pets were only for members except hamsters is the last time I really played for a while. But getting two free pets is just a little much I think like why is it a thing and why do people still beg for pets saying they have no pets when they do
I've been playing this game for around 8 years (give or take) and, IMO, these updates are really good for newer players. Giving them a pet rules out the "give me a free pet I'm new" scam, and makes players play the game longer which grows a stronger community! It was a good choice to make them untradable, so you couldn't just farm spares and basically duplicate pets. I do think the thing with the fox coming in stores was a bit unfair- Making them cost sapphires, or at least give older players who recently had the animal a refund in sapphires, would be a more practical choice but other than that, I think animal jam is making a good choice overall!
Btw, how are you feeling? On Lala's stream you told me you weren't feeling great. That really sucks- I hope you feel better soon, and good luck on Jambassidor!
I’m a little better now. Thanks man 💜
The struggle to find that one person-
QmQ
free pets? watching ads for sapphires and rares? oh yes please!
As someone who played animal jam for years and lost the account because of the data breach... This really makes me want to start a new account if it means to be fair with new jammers
Nah id be so happy if they brought back some old animals
I used to play before this whole free pet buisness, left and recently started a new account. And, tbh, I don’t have a problem with it. Since the target audience is little kids, after the popularity drop, they need to make it a little easier. I think it’s pretty smart, but they need to try to adapt for their younger and older audiences.
I kinda dislike the update too cuz now you cant even choose your animals name, and now the old tutorial is gone which was so peaceful and nostalagic :( About the pet update i think it wasnt worth to do it because jammers should get their first pet with good memories and a pet with colors they prefer. For some ppl the superbox and encore animal thingie was like super exciting and awesome but for some ppl it was a shame cuz they prob had an old animal which was rarity and uncommon. I feel like after Nazara bought AJPW the population of it started to decrease :(
I think old animals coming back in superboxes for money (or sapphires in the shop explorer) is sort of nice for people who have been hacked or banned in the past, or moved accounts, to have the animals they used to back. As well as people who are new.
I agree!
Agree! I just wish they weren't for real money! I've wanted the otter for a really long time, but I refuse to spend any more money on ajpw.
@@thelizzievb I wish that too- I'm unable to spend money on games. Luckily people can sell the tokens for sapphires, but they're usually a lot :(
It makes me slightly upset, when I started animal jam, I was a guest jammer most the time, it's slightly easier but still. New jammers are kinda spoiled. It took me WEEKS to get my first pet. I don't mean to be rude, it's kinda cool new jammers get stuff. ✨
I SPENT FIVE QUID ON THAT PANDA JUST FOR IT TO BECOME AVAILABLE A WEEK LATER FOR GEMS LOL 😭
I’m not complaining btw I love my panda hehe but it find it so funny XD
I havent bought a fox or panda in like 7 years so when they became worth gems im like ooo i can get more foxes for cheap 😂. Also the oldest pet i own was adopted june 6 2016 i think that was the month pets first got added
Bro I legit started an alt and in 15 minutes I had blackout items and nocturnals and looked like a decently rich player
What the- can you explain in more detail how unearth you did that?!
It would be really interesting to find out how you managed that.
@@Minikitty130 Do u want a long explanation?
@@xxNoelxx.yes
@@Minikitty130 So basically got sapphires by paying money and bought a shop. Then, it was a super-box month and I bought the super-box items and sold the items for cheap. I then bought a new den and Arctic wolf because yes lol. After I bought items such as nocturnal cuffs and horns and blackout bow, etc. I recycled the starter items for gems and bought stuff in game that cost gems then sold it for cheap sapphires . After around 10 minutes I bought membership, then den items like phantom portal, pet sitter, paintseeds, etc. I bought adoption coins and got pets to sell and then level some up that I liked. After around 15 minutes, I looked like a decently rich jammer.
@@xxNoelxx. that sounds like a lot of money your spending - are you rich or something xd?
Me watching kjjikon struggle to find feircefox💀
ik ur account will one day be like leamon puppy
Haha! Fingers crossed 🤞
Its not only new jammers, some people got hacked, and made new accs to start over, so its fair! (By the way ive got hacked 2 months ago and, i started on a new acc froggyplays14 )
Exactly!
Wait what ended up happening with Fieryfox?? 😭😭
I ended up finding them again luckily!
@@kijjikon Thank goodness! What happened in the first place? Did you accidentally not add something to a trade?
@@MidnightTheKitten he was asking for an autograph but I forgot their username
I think new jammers are kinda getting to much. I dont mind the free pets, but the cheaper animals and new free den iteams are too much
All these changes are good! In my opinion.
I think so too!
Honestly, I was pretty upset of the fact they brought the old animals back. I think having an old animal really showed how long I played the game. And yes not going to lie, I did flex sometimes 😂
Omg heyyyy im early
Howdy!!!
My friend fg her password and she logged into another account and she got a free pet and everything 😢
I dislike "I suffered so you should too" behavior.
Same :/
Now they give new jammers pets for free
I am super sorry of how you need to deal with so many debaits people have yelled in the comments y’all need to worry on your own problem
I personally got really mad when I found out that they’d made foxes, pandas and tigers free/for gems. I really don’t think it was necessary to make them free, especially foxes. I know they just want to give new players more choice and stuff, but in total I spent 450 saphires on all of those animals, and these were in the days I had no membership and there were no daily spins and stuff so saphires were much harder to get. I got especially angry over the fox, they’re like the best animal in the game in my opinion when it comes to design and it was my main animal but now I wouldn’t want to really go out as a fox much because now they’re just a common gem animal.
I didn’t mind the pets though much because as you said in the vid, they’re just common pets that are like 50 saps.
But the foxes I still am upset about.
It’s not the fact that new jammers get foxes and I didn’t that upsets me, it’s the fact that I barely use my fox now even though it’s my fav animal because now it’s associated with new jammers and stuff.
That’s just my very strong opinion on the matter, feel free to disagree with me of course.
I have forgiven AJ by now of course but I still wish foxes weren’t free 😢
I mean I started playing animal jam 3 months ago and I got a free pet 0-0 but sorry for those who never got a free pet
Ello :3
Howdy!
your buddies with avabowtie!?! i was too then she got really mad bc i was subscribed to you then got all her buddies to come after me she also hated against a small youtuber diamondstarAJ so all im going to say is be careful with her
I mean arguement
You are one of the only people who replies and hearts us. XD I apricate it, KJ!! :D
Of course!
Când wee be budys ❤😊
New accounts getting free pets is good. They can't say they don't have a pet now. Less scamming. Animal jam has clearly shown that they want to help avoid scamming.
Yes!!! 💜
I don't think new jammer have it "too easy" because it's a kids game and kids games should have children have fun in their game without being heavily pay to win.
Honestly, I think its unfair that new jammers get all of that new Pets/Clothing/Den items, I feel like they feel more intitled to more items,
I see a lot of new jammers lvl 1-8: Asking for free items because there 'Poor' It gets annoying bc i see it a LOT in the: Fox lairs: Sapphire shops: Pillow rooms: Etc,
Before you had to start up from scratch, No free pets, No free den items, No extra gems and sapphires, The update is nice,
But more people are starting to realize aj is giving more 'alpha luck'' to new jammers, So more people leave there accounts to new jammers..
I lost count on how many sapphires i've had to buy, To get Clothing, Pets, And den items, So seeing new jammers getting all that,
Is likeee.... :// Unfair?
I mean its a good start for em,
But its still unfair to other people who took months or even years just to get decent items,
Soo i feel like thats why others are irritated/complaining , . Plus ajhq gave better luck to new jammers? Like finding starlight in a hour? Like seriously, Not very fairr-...
Its awesome that they started to give new jammers moree !., But i think for the furture they shouldnt overkill.
Spawn rate for alphas do not change for new accounts, I’ve tested this theory myself awhile back when I was doing a fossil hoard for tiktok.
Other than that, I can feel ya. Thanks for your input 💜
@@kijjikon Ohh rlly? Hm, Aa and np
It isn't unfair. Just because you suffered to get stuff doesn't mean others should (by the definition it's unfair you're born into a house, don't have to fight for food, our ancestors didn't this luxury did they? Or how about it being unfair you have a phone or whatever? People 10-20 years ago didn't, communication was harder then. Do you think you shouldn't have that stuff? Ofc not! So why is it different with a game??)..being upset newer players have more things available to them than you did years ago is just..not it? It's like how when you buy a game and the price lowers over time..I've never complained a game I bought is cheaper now than when I got it, like good for the new people! I don't feel scammed that the worth has gone down..I don't feel the need to be superior or flex on others, I'm just happy others can get it. Things are going to change over time..worth, availabilty, it's nothing worth being upset over! I feel the same for AJ..
Too easy? Last time I played, I didn't get the option to even get a pet.... I lost my old account and the new one never had the option to get a free pet. So when was this?
It’s pretty new. I think 2 months ago?
@@kijjikon I made the account last month and it still treated me like a guest despite following the rules. So I dunno what's going on.
@@Twinklethefox9022 I’m not sure..
@@Twinklethefox9022 it could be a bug. You can report this to aj , but it's probably fixed by now.
Aj kicked me out for no reason 4 times so I've felt both sides of the agreement
i had to pay 5 dollars so you should too definition of narc refunds are okay though
No more peck...?
people being upset about old animals coming back boggles my mind. they arent worth anything. its just for status.
like.. huh??
And alpha items ruined worths so annoying ppl can get rare very easy
..............
respectfully, if we’re going to cry about animal jam bringing back old animals because of their “rarity” that’s just ridiculous
while purchasing with real money YES is a whole new can of worms, like you said animals have no rarity so animal jam community don’t cry over animals coming back because they’re “rare”… thanks
They are getting too much!
I like the idea of they get a good experience with this stuff but i have 1 problem i don't think they should think oh i get this stuff for free i can get more stuff for free you know and AMAZING work kijjikon
It's' great new jammers get more stuff. It is sooooooooooo nice of ajhq to do this. :)
