    AJ has definitely gone down hill over the past few years
 honestly it’s sad to see the company become money hungry and the continuous trash updates. I’m not sure how much longer I wanna stick to this game, it’s been my whole childhood but honestly I think I might leave sooner or later. It’s just not exciting like how it used to be, AJ just keeps reusing ideas and/or making horrible new ideas.

    • @taiintedstars
      @taiintedstars Pƙed rokem +31

      Yeah. It was part of my childhood.
      I quit AJ content because, well, there isn't much to post about it, unless it's negative. Sure, I could make update vids, but by time I do that, some other popular person had already posted about it and people would get annoyed.
      They are just getting super money hungry and don't even listen to their community.
      I understand that the majority of the community are kids and may not have the best feedback, but AJ should really start listening to the community rather than chasing the money.

I had been hacked and all my good items and all my pets were taken.

Sadly, my second account never got deleted from the game, and i still don't know why they don't end it already.

    Animal Jam keeps 'accidentally' robbing people of their money when it is inevitable that they should have been able to prevent it. Now I am not saying they are purposely scamming but more or less being lazy and disorganised with financial and security aspects of the game if that makes sense? It hard to describe but 12:15 has happened to me too.
    When I purchased a membership with the money I got a membership only for it to say I bought ANOTHER membership the next day when I hadn't then around a week later it repeated and I had yet another membership. As fun as this 'triple membership' may seem I only wanted one and therefore lost around 12 euros because of this? I contacted ajhq about this but they never really replied? Instead, they just put one membership onto my account and called it a day.

    My original reason for my official swap to play wild from ajc was bc of the lack of memebership system. It was nice to feel equal to other players and to gets nice features in the game without paying money, however as time went on the membership aspect grew and I was constantly buying it even with real money. However now I barley play anymore so don’t bother to buy it. But also I feel demotivated to every play when I get on due to the vast amount of features u lack without membership

    I have been playing animal jam since I was 10, so about 6 years, and I still play regularly. I had come across an issue while submitting a masterpiece and emailed ajhq for help. They asked for me to go to a sketchy website and screenshot my ip address and send it to them before they answered my question. I work as an ethical hacker and know all the things that can be done with an ip address, so I refused to send it. But it worries me that ajhq is asking kids to go to sketchy websites to send their ip address to them, it is very unprofessional and ngl, scary to think this is where the game is going.

    I quit like a year ago, got rid of rarer items within the same month.
    I'll always remember the AJ I started played in 2014/2015 and all the friends and adventures I had.
    Both the game and community actually helped and inspired me to draw more than just mlp, legit don't think I'd be here without it XD
    I was the last of my IRL friend group to quit (not counting my younger sister who randomly plays PW), I really hoped something would come up, new updates, new anything but no AJ was just left in the shadow of play wild.. I really miss having fun with random ppl and going on adventures to get rares, hosting fashion shows and pet sales, decorating my den and making a map out of it, adding to my collection of +200 animal characters, hosting art cons with aj prizes... can only hope another game like it gets made cuz I am not going back anymore.
    Anyone can make a game or a game studio, doesn't take much other than money and hiring people. I wouldn't say AJ is unprofessional, but it's far from respected and transparent. The amount of bad things that happened in the last 2-3 years really just keeps getting bigger and worse.
    Basically people, pack your bags, invest your items into something worth more like art and lock your accounts. I myself got sick of the neglect and direction WW was heading.. I would love for the games to become alive and popular again, get better and have as much new updates and content as they used to when I started playing, really I hope that happens but nobody knows how this will go, seems pretty negative but guess we'll have to see.
    I've considered before quitting to open a new account and play from scratch, which is a fun idea to try if you still didn't give up on the game. But hey if you still log on to the original AJ, visit TheSpinnyVillage. I made it when Tiki Trouble came out which became my fav seasonal adventure.. +Julian2 fans loved to play in it.. I swear if I ever get to a point to be able to afford to make a multiplayer game I'll do one similar to AJ

    Animal Jam used to be such a fun game to play. Now the company has gotten so greedy by being money hungry, I don't blame people for quitting. It's clear to see Wildworks doesn't care about their players anymore, especially if they're STILL allowing predators like hyenine1 or straycat2 in the game, but suspend/silence victims. I still play Aj from time to time (mostly to play TFD, I have a system where I do a chore in real life, then play a couple rounds of TFD, etc. I know it's dumb, but ehhh.) but I'm no longer invested in it. Don't get me started on the so called 'updates' they release, only to be the same thing every year, it's gotten to be boring.
    Not only that, I feel as though I've gotten too old to play it nowadays. :') Great video as always, Leamon!

Which sucked because I did spend money on this game, and wanted to play it more often but due to life reasons, I couldn't play it everyday and ended up dying from it (I don't know if it is true or not that they do delete accounts that have been inactive for a year).

Also, this is kinda off topic, but Roblox had problems like this like being said that it’s been getting hacked so many times this month.

For example you mentioned the eggs and that AJ scammed people but I couldn’t understand how they scammed people because I don’t have the context. You mentioned that people didn’t get the eggs towards the end of that section but I think more background would be nice so new viewers can have better understanding of what’s going on.

But I can't wait to watch wildcraft grow, it looks like a lot of these jammers went to wildcraft. I'm even moving away from animal jam after almost 7 years. They can't seem to do the right things to the right people anymore. This ownership change has made a huge difference and it is not one I like. I can't believe the glitches and mistakes.

Some people in the community are actually nice people and it brings me bittersweet nostalgia scrolling through the comment section to find all my old friends here from when I was a content creator for the platform.
    The majority of the community though has just been completely ruined by hackers, scammers and (ugh) pr3d@tors-.

    I pretty much quit now. I've been here since the beginning and now i see little point in playing. My friends quit, and the game is more about rares now. Being i don't have many rares, and no membership, i've left the community.

    Bro this game was my childhood haven’t played in years and I checked out this vid out of morbid curiosity. I knew thing’s probably went down hill so I’m ready to confront the death of my childhood.

    Someone in my pack had bought the membership but they actually were not given membership and had lost their money. I know this because they said what happened in pack chat asking what had happened and why they don’t have the membership, I told them it may be a glitch and try to reset but every few days I would check their account to see if they have membership but every time I check they don’t. Honestly I feel very bad for them, I hope they don’t loose their money every month too because they bought it and that this doesn’t happen to anyone else when they buy membership. 😱

    My best friend purchased membership about a week ago and never received it, but the money was still taken out of her bank account - at least that's what she told me. At this point, I'm kind of worried about having a recurring membership on my account, especially since it's not my money 😅

    I LOVED animal jam, and played it for YEARS but after the recent updates I hate the game. . . I always bought the sapphire bundles but then they changed the number of sapphires and upped the price. . . And my account lost a lot of good items from trading (not their fault) but that’s one thing. I’ve bought memberships and NEVER got them. . . I spent MY money for it and it was really annoying. They really need to fix it. | also leamon said d4mn in the video đŸ€Ł

    The reskins already existed in Animal Jam Classic, it's nothing new

    So for the reskins I’m actually kind of liking it for the moment since I’ve always wanted one, like a royal red panda is one of my dream animals and it’s a reskin but it just looks really cool to me! But once I get the ones I actually want it’ll probably be a different story

    Hi just wanted to say, i play animal jam regularly just because of some close friends. When i wanted to buy membership I bought it but it didnt go through. After i spent over 50 dollars in one go, I still didnt get my membership and just payed with saphs. I was rlly annyoed by this and all the membership plugging and presentations all over aj is kind of annoying..
    Edit: Btw the membership issues happend with me as well, after i couldn't get membership when paying, a couple months later money from my account was going to aj for some reason. I had not bought any membership but i lost over 100 dollars somehow even without a membership. I was really mad and contacted aj but they did nothing in response.

    they literally deleted my items bc I traded for a duped mag furry then 2 years later terminated my acc without warning, idk if this was due to a data breach, but they won’t reply to my emails asking for an explanation

    12:51 Years ago, when I was like 5 or 6 playing aj classic, it just wouldn’t cancel my membership. My mom had to contact support with visa or something like that in order for them to stop charging her. This was in like 2015~2016~2017 ish. Cant really remember-
