Just wanted to say that I’m not against classic players disliking the mobile players, nor am I against play wild players annoyed at classic players. I honestly just wanted to make a video and put all my thoughts into it. I’m going to make a video about the new jambassadors and how they didn’t pick any animal jam classic jammers REALLY soon! Pink Bowtie Giveaway Video Link: ua-cam.com/video/L0TGW0wCU-U/v-deo.html
I’ve played both but I simply prefer classic because it seems a lot more “lively”? Every time I go on classic there’s a lot more people chatting and such and it’s easy to make friends. However on Play wild it’s always dead silent and half the kids you meet are rude and are basically trading robots that lack any basic human emotion.
SO TRUE! I like animal mobile but everybody only trades and the kids are so rude! They yell at people that don't accept there trades and it is annoying
Im not sure if you realize it, and I’m not trying to be rude, but you’re being really rude to everyone who likes Animal Jam Play Wild. The only thing I do on AJPW is talk with other Jammers and have fun, like doing fashion shows and role-plays! And you just called everyone who plays Animal Jam Play Wild “trading robots that lack any basic human emotion”. I hope you realize how rude that is. I don’t even trade! Lots of Jammers don’t even trade! Sure, some do and they like it and its fun for them, but that doesn’t mean they’re “trading robots that lack any basic human emotion”!! Also, since when is AJPW dead silent? I’m not sure if its just me, but I see a hundred text bubbles everywhere and anywhere I go! I understand your reasoning to not like AJPW because you like AJC better, but that should not be a reason to be incredible rude and make false statements about AJPW players.
ive been playing ajc for over a decade and in that time ive made lots of friendships and memories on that game when i was younger and from time to time i cant help but come back to it. i think this is the case for other ajc players which is why such a vast majority of the playerbase are older teenagers or even young adults, people who can generally relate to eachother. while i prefer ajc to ajpw i can still appreciate the latter. just a few hours ago a girl who i didnt even know helped me navigate how to play and gave me nearly a hundred items that i could start out with, so i dont think all ajpw are incompetent and unpleasant little children like you said
I kinda feel neglected as an animal jam player I have nothing against people who play animal jam pw and I guess it just gets annoying when AJHQ doesn’t seem to care about Animal Jam. The spin off Animal Jam PW wouldn’t exist without Animal jam, Play Wild isn’t a bad game I just miss all the fun times the Animal Jam community gave like the old jambassadors :(
I grew up on classic and I've played it since 2012. The game itself is very nostalgic to me, and i prefer it over the newer one. I love the adventures and items that they have on the classic version. It's a lot easier to decorate dens and make outfits on the original in my opinion. The fact that everything is in 3D on play wild is kinda odd in my opinion, but I still play it sometimes.
I don’t HATE play wild because I started out on it too but just got more into classic, but I just wish AJHQ would treat both games fairly. Honestly it’s A LOT harder to update AJPW because of the 3D aspect. The least they could do is actually hear us, and maybe update classic like... twice a year? So that they can still focus on play wild while keeping the classic community happy too. That’s really all I want.
I can agree with you, I only play ajpw because I played Aj on a chromebook and the flash shut down in December 2020, so I had to quit animal jam only because of the device I played on
for me i like classic more because its much more nostalgic (been playing it since like 2012/14 or so) and the art and colors are much prettier to me. play wild is very saturated and has a lot of very bright colours that dont fit together, its a lot harder to make a pretty den or outfit. im a much bigger fan of aj's more muted natural color sceme. also especially recently play wild has gotten kinda low quality, rushed, and trashy looking, especially with the MONTHLY animals, which seems just insane to me, to be releasing animals that often. and it shows. The overall athmosphere in play wild i just really dont like.. a lot of areas look weirdly.. fake.. surreal (not in a good way).. empty ? especially some of the recent dens... Also i do not like how slidy the controls are of your animal, its really weird. I also dont like the people in game being mostly little kids as opposed to the usually slightly more mature people that play regular animaljam. And also i dont really enjoy apps. I did use to like play wild a lot more, even though not as much as the original, but especially in recent years the quality has sadly gone way down, and now play wild just kind of signifies the end of animaljam to me, which is kinda sad :(
I played animal jam classic in 2012, and I got ajpw around when it came out and I didn’t like it and it took up a lot of storage so I deleted it. A few years later, I got it again and it was alright. I ended up taking a huge break from it bc the rarity system in ajpw is in my opinion, not very good. Everything is so rare, there’s nowhere to start, really. In AJ classic, u can play adventures for items and such. I remember I would spend hours and months to get a green rare bowtie, I was scammed and was told by people I was over trading and then I was under trading or that it was fair and plus, the item I wanted was incredibly hard to find. I just gave up in all. I also think some players (NOT ALL) can be ungrateful. For an example, I saw someone have a firefly friend on their wishlist (the actual rare one, not the blue RIM one) so I gave them mine for free pretty much. They didn’t say thank u and then I said hey you’re welcome and then they said thanks which wasn’t really that much appreciation, lols. Idk if this is just me, but if I got gifted something like that I would scream in caps and thank them for like 5 minutes haha. Just my thoughts on ajpw, it’s not that bad of a game, but I get bored easily and I will admit I also get bored of AJ Classic.
I think wildworks has just made aj classic like play wild in the rarity system lately because I think they took spikes (at least collars) out of the forgotten desert, lucky clovers, the tiki adventure, ect. (because of "hacking", bruh if hackers want spikes they can get them, don't ruin it for regular jammers in the process) so now there is no way to get them without trading tons for them or just already having them. I used to have some but then I got hacked because of the data leak and didn't realize for awhile cause I don't play much, then when I asked if I could have at least my most important items back (emotional attachments, my neon bow, leap year necklace, pretty nm den betas) they were like "hahah sorry nope" and gave no reasoning.
I like animal jam play wild better than classic sadly because it’s the game I actually enjoyed for the first time and made really good friends with and I could probably go on forever talking about it-
Tbh play wild is toxic or at least since I started playing it was really toxic idk if it still is because I haven’t played either versions in a year. Classic wasn’t as toxic and I actually made some friends on classic unlike play wild I was ignored by many people. I don’t hate play wild I just don’t like the people very much.
Yeah I’ve had the same experience. When I used to play both, I made more friends on classic than on mobile. People on classic were more friendly and open to having conversations other than trading. Don’t know why though.
Strangely I prefer pw even though I grew up with classic. Most of the time people are nice. Majority of the items are for nonmembers unlike classic. I'm broke so I can't afford a membership. I have this love hate relationship with pw. Note: in my opinion classic seems to be extremely toxic. Everyone just doesn't want to talk to me or do anything.
I personally grew up with pw, but tried classic a month after I found out it existed. At the time I was young so I didn't play it but later, aka just last month- I went to play it again. Except, its kinda scary to talk to everyone, considering that I always see people either trading or selling... And not just that but I've had friends whom were attacked from saying they were play wild players.. Classic for me is scary, but it has many features that Pw does not have, that I enjoy! Both games are good, and though I prefer pw, I wish they updated classic, its a shame- and its really fun!
I completely agree, I have some friends on classic who claimed that play wild is a 'rip off' or they grew up on AJ classic and suddenly see this big change of the game names. Also, AJ classic gets barely any updates so I understand the classic players can get mad at the play wild players who get a lot more updates.. (I love both games and you shouldn't hate on them!)
Tbh, I think play wild is underrated because more people play classic like I play mobile ajpw more than classic, sometimes my game will always crashes while playing animal jam classic. I still like classic tho but sometimes the lag can get annoying xd.
Dude, more children play ajpw then aj. It also seems like toddlers and young children go to ajpw, and then aj has been left with the old players like myself who are adults now
Yeah, this is true.. Its not like I don't like the game Play Wild or Play Wild UA-camrs, it's just that it was a year ago this month in 2020 that AJHQ did their A-May-Zing update and changes the names of the games. Animal Jam Classic is what I grew up on WAAAAAAAYYYY before aj play wild. I'm slowly but surely moving like an inch a day towards play wild but AJ Classic will ALWAYS and FOREVER be my childhood. ❤🥲🐶
That's true I'm not sure why they decided to change the names of both games, and it was kinda pointless that they got rid of treasure hunts and replace them with spins, treasure hunts are one of the best ways to get more gems.
I like both. I started AJPW first, I've been there ever since it first came out. I started PC Animal Jam a good while later, but have gotten a good amount of progress there, too. There are things I like better about AJPW, and things I like better about PC Animal Jam. I am kinda saddened, though, that PC Animal Jam won't really be getting updates anymore.
I personally like both games equally, though I found play wild first. On Aj Classic I go into the pillow room and I always find people complaining about how Play Wild has little kids on it, and how they don’t like the players on Ajpw. My opinion on this honestly, is that I’m not surprised, because Animal Jam in general is a kids game, and a lot of little kids are going to join. I’m not against AJHQ, The Ajc players, or the ajpw players, it’s just that people complain about children being on a game targeted for kids, that just seems a bit weird to me.
one main reason is the trading differences. on animal jam mobile, variety of rares have ridiculously gone up and down multiple times. value in some items even completely dropped from its original worth. it’s so ridiculously hard to trade things now when items that used to be extremely wanted like raccoon tails are more common than small betas. people only want demand worth and dont care if your trade is over or fair
I've been an AJC Jammer since 2013 and will forever remain faithful to it because it's the game I grew up on and just is nostalgic to me. I agree that AJPW (or I guess simply called "AJ" now) is a nice game, the graphics update and amount of constant new animals is good, but the game itself just isn't the original to me and feels like it stole the success away from AJC since AJPW gets far more updates and attention nowadays...
I did start out as a play wild player and barely heard of animal jam except from videos I watched when I was younger when I got around to playing the original I really liked it and stayed up all night trading and playing forgotten dessert I was lucky once and got a short pink outta it but that's not important, otherwise I love both games and kinda sad I can't play the original. Sorry for this being SOOOOOO long!
i've been playing animal jam (classic) since 2013 so it kinda hurts to see it abandoned for the new game that makes money, however i have nothing against play wild or people playing play wild
Its sad they dislike us :( but at the same time they’re alot of nice classic players who like aj mobile players so i wouldn’t say they are rude. Even the ones who do not like mobile.
There are some things about play wild, that I think make it a better game than classic, but the opposite is true as well. I think any kids who got into animal jam from the mobile version will still have the great experience I did as a little babe. :D
As an AJ classic player (I started at age five and left at age thirteen, which was about four years ago) the main reason I dislike AJ play wild is because it felt like it was replacing Animal Jam, and in some ways it did. I tried to play AJPW when it first came out but like you said with your experience on classic, I just didn’t like it. Another major reason for my dislike of AJPW at the time was the fact it such a drastic change. Compared to its pc counterpart AJPW was very different visually. Not to mention if you’re going to play AJPW you had to make a whole new account and start from scratch. I wasn’t ready to do that and I certainty wasn’t ready to abandoned my old AJC account that I had put 8 years into. Now that I’m older I recently downloaded AJPW because I wanted to check it out and I was on a Animal Jam nostalgia binge, hence the reason I found this video. AJPW still isn’t the game for me but I can definitely see how many people like it. AJ classic will always have a place in my heart. It makes me feel so nostalgic to, especially with all the old AJ UA-camr channels and music videos still up. It really sucks to see AJ classic go down hill as that game was such a big part of my childhood. I’m very happy to see Animal Jam is still being talked about and played to this day even if the game has changed slightly :) I’m glad people can make new memories through the same game.
People who originally played classic, like myself, were probably tied to nostalgia. The idea that this newer trend hopping game was replacing and stealing attention from the original game was.. kinda sad. I only switched to animal jam mobile because my friends switched, and I noticed that a lot of the old fan base was moving, too. Ajpw is also a LOT less restricted, the rare items weren’t usually locked behind paywalls, and everyone could look cool without spending money.
How I see it, nobody should be fighting about which game is better, that just depends on what you think. Neither of them are superior to the other. But playing Aj (classic) for as long as I remember, and having the game I love and made so many amazing memories with being pushed aside by the creators, I am very annoyed and I think me and all the other classics players have a right to feel that way. No, this does not justify the hate that play wild players are getting from classic players, because the play wild players had nothing to do with aj classic not getting anymore updates. But play wild players shouldn't be mad at classic players either. We should all be able to be kind and thoughtful to each other, not think that either side is better than the other and blame the other side for something they had no control over.
My original issue with aj mobile was that whenever I played I got motion sickness from the 3d camera, then it transitioned into a ridiculously juvenile hatred on the game for stealing my favorite game from me (yes, that is what I said) now it has been a while and I have matured a lot since then, I have come to realize that once it stopped giving me motion sickness that I do prefer aj mobile, I need to adjust myself into the community and learn how the trading, item obtaining, games, etc work but I think I will come to really enjoy aj mobile in the long run
Hi. I was a classic animal jam player. Fact is I like learning about animals. I might not be a kid, but I like learning about animals which is why I started to play the game in the first place. What kept me playing classic mostly were the adventures. They almost reminded me of mmorpg dungeons. I love dungeons and playing with others to accomplish something something in a game. And the fact I could play as an animal of my choosing was even better. I stopped playing animal jam because I eventually realized that the staff weren't going to release any new adventures or any new animals I could work on. And the adventures I was able to play were getting incredibly boring. Still I was able to level up all of my 101 animals to more than level one and my highest levelled animal was probably 23 I think. I feel pretty proud of my accomplishment for some reason. I tried play wild but that game is just not for me. I need lore, some kind of story to keep me interested. And of course without the adventures, play wild pretty much lost me instantly. I'm not upset that they chose to focus on playwild at all. It's just I'm not a kid and play wild doesn't have anything which makes me want to come back to the game. So I've moved onto Feral. Feral doesn't have adventures but I love the mystery of feral. The lore is amazing and they are actually updating the game now and then(which is so exciting coming from classic). So I'm going to have to say that I prefer feral to both play wild and classic.
this is really late but let me put my opinion here since i am an og classic player that still currently plays and honestly hates play wild. personally, i don't hate play wild players, honestly if you enjoy that game, that's great! the reason why i hate play wild is because i grew up playing classic and it's such a nostalgic game for me but when play wild came out, we started getting less updates, recycled updates, and eventually literally just nothing at all. there are literally like no world servers anymore and there's almost never any full servers. the game used to flourish and now it's quite literally dead. it's sad to see a game that you've been playing for almost decade be completely pushed to the side and forgotten and the reason it's that way is because of play wild. that's why us classic players hate play wild so much. it's because play wild is the reason as to why classic is being neglected. its less hating on play wild players and more on just hating the game itself.
Anyone else have a little conversation with people on classic and they say they hate ajpw? and you just agree with them so they wont get mad at u or something?
I like AJPC mainly because it's just the one I grew up with, and I'm not used to AJPW's trading system just yet. though I will admit AJPW does have many more features AJPC doesn't and that makes it so much more entertaining even if you aren't there for the trading
personally i like mobile more because classic seems a bit too "laggy" feeling and ajpw just feels better because in jamaa township on classic its almost always EXTREMELY crowded
As someone who grew up on pw I totally understand that the classic players don’t like the game and their reasons are COMPLETELY valid, I’m not mad or upset that some people dislike the game
I love classic way better than ajpw, but now since i cant play classic it kinda pains me to log onto ajpw and get really anooyed at how classic gets nothing and ajpw gets literally all the attention. I guess if they add adventures to ajpw then I would most definitely play it more. Nice video :D
They probably feel the same way Diablo players felt when they announced Diablo is coming to mobile. It just reminds the consumers that the company only cares about what's trendy and profitable, not what's good for the fans. If it was just one game, and they focused on making the original perform better and on multiple platforms, it would've seemed less like a blatant cash grab.
I saw the reviews and all of them were talking about how sapphires are freaking expensive.I downloaded it and deleted it.Why? ITS SUPER LAGGY ! I play pokemon go btw.
for me, ive been literally playing aj since 2011 and it's me comfort game even as i go into my adult life; i don't dislike play wild, i think it has so much potential, but i just dont see the effort put into the game as much as the years of love animal jam has been given, such as the parties being completely undecorated, the animals kind of have stilted animations and some of the designs just... look uncanny LMAO i also just play mobile on my computer, since its on steam, even though on there it's completely broken and basically unplayable sometimes LMAO i think the moment where i really started disliking *wildworks* is when they changed the name to classic and animal jam, and forcing the community to move shift to play wild. it shows a lack of how theyre communicating with the players, and how the completely neglect the community that has grown around the games nowdays. and, another part i dont like about play wild is the player base. most players are young children that i cant really talk with / feel uncomfortable talking to LMAO edit, i have more to say but i didnt want to make it longer LMAO but i generally dont like the community on either games, i think the rarity and trading people are annoying and i think the unsolicited dating requests are annoying on pw; i think the main thing that i dislike about ajpc is literally the rare hoarders and livestreamers that just want a quick buck. my goal in the community is to just make content people can enjoy without profiting off of kids, which a lot of livestreamers and rare people ignore tldr; wildworks is the issue, the games arent
I played ajc first but then i started to like the ajpw community. I didn't expect this to happen to ajc though. Back then i used to hate on ajhq for not updating ajc but now i look back at that and i realized i made an mistake and i started to realize that what ajhq is doing might be the best for them and us. Im glad that wildworks made a few other main games for us to enjoy. Like fer.al. *If it wasn't for ajpw and **fer.al** then i guess wildworks would make a lot less money...*
I was more than fine with ajpc being the main game even though i never got to play it. It just looks better than play wild, mostly because of the animals and accessory animations.
Im sad that aj classic dose not update I use to love the adventure and want to see what next, but it ends and my account is on lock down there is nothing new. My sister go on the game with her buddies instead of on aj play wild with me she is getting betas and rare spike collars also other things. Im pretty lonely on there all by myself doing my daily things every day on each daily spin. After sharing one computer with my sister I never made my account so I when on the phone in those earlier days to find aj play wild. It gotten cooler over the years when I finally became a member I started to play both games
I'm a classic player, although I kinda like AJPW but it also kinda upsets me, Ajpw has great updates and a way to get membership for sapphires which is so amazing, there's plenty of decent people there but... it feels like AJPW is replacing classic, less updates all recycled, they changed the name and the game can get boring at times and it sucks since it's been like this for 2019 all recycled. Don't get me wrong I don't hate AJPW or it's players It just kinda hurts to see the game I played for 5 years die, but I hope the AJPW players enjoy their game and I hope everything goes well for AJPW.
I started AJ classic in 2013, when PlayWild came out it just didn’t appeal to me at all. In my 5 year old eyes it just looked like a rip off AJ... And then when it took the name Animal Jam I was really upset because it was basically taking away that joy of opening Animal Jam on the family computer after school. It’s almost as if they’re saying “This is just the old sucky one’, use the new one so we can’t have money” AJPW doesn’t bring back good memories. I personally think that AJC is better, it has more of that instant nostalgia.
While wildwork's favoritism towards play wild is definitely a reason I have a distaste for play wild, I think it is mostly the graphics for me. I just personally can't stand the pixely, choppy, oversatured aesthetics of play wild. I also just generally prefer 2D aesthetics to 3D aesthetics but that depends on the style as well. Whenever I play play wild I just end up thinking "I wonder how this den/animal/outfit/location would look in classic aj" because I can create an outfit I would in theory like with colours similar to ones I like, items with flowers and naturey stuff I in theory like, and just think "this looks bad, it would look so good in aj classic style though". Like I'll see drawings of play wild characters and think "wow that looks nice" and then I see the in-game look and it just looks, not good? Idk it might just be a personal thing. Animal jam classic is one of the first things that got me into art because I loved the style and I thought it was so pretty and I wanted to make something like it, so from an artistic standpoint I am just irritated by play wild's aesthetics? idk it might just be me, and for those who like play wild's graphics I don't mean any of this personally ofc :P Also, they did the name change thing on animal jam's 10th anniversary celebration... I thought we were finally gonna get an actual big-ish update to celebrate a whole decade.... but nOOoOOooo "plz play pw instead Uwu we'll give u sapphires" hahah jokes on them I just got sapphires on a bunch of my alts and got those 400 sapphire month memberships for aj classic with sapphires (pls don't snitch hahah).
As an aj (classic) player since 2011, I can confirm that plenty of us dislike ajpw and will never call it just "animal jam!!" And it's not just us alone, players who moved onto feral from aj tend to also dislike ajpw Now, I have played ajpw even before its first anniversary. I am also an old ajpw player and after seeing the negative effects and how it has downgraded with the various creatures, it just makes the game disgusting to me.. my opinion and the rest of yours are valid too!
I started playing AJ classic right after Beta Testing, and I got Play Wild a year after its release. I grew up with Classic but LOVED play wild. I think they both have their ups and downs, but overall I love them both.
To be honest, I have tried playing AJPW, I have tried to trade, play games, and more but I just physically can't. Not that I don't want to it's just learning a completely new game. In addition, I passionately dislike how everything looks on AJPW. The app constantly crashes and takes a lot of space on my mobiles. The trading system is also confusing. The positives about AJPW are the phantom dimension and the pet exhibitions, they are super interactive with the player and force them to keep on playing the next day.
i know this has nothing to do with the actual video but i love your outro 😭😭 the pokemon music really hits lol also im playing pokemon sword as i type this lolllll
As an ajpw player, aj classic is better in many ways. ajpw has a pretty bad player base, unlike aj classic, since it has an older and more mature community, ppl on ajpw can give me a headache.
Agreed, I feel like AJPW appeals more to younger folks, and you know younger folks are way more problematic, AJ classic seems more mature since it’s been there for a long time.
I’ve been a classic player for over 6 years, and honestly, the only reason why I’ve never really played animal jam play wild, is because when I joined, it was too laggy and it kept kicking me out of the game, but that was a few years ago when the game just released, so infact, I think I might go download aj play wild right now :P
I started as a classic player who didn't really like mobile but also had limited access to a computer to someone who now prefers play wild. I think a lot of it is availability, lack of new ajpc content, and the way they do pets (which got me into pet trading). In ajpw, you can own any type of pet, but they're expensive. In pc, you can own very few types of pets, but they're cheap after the first one. I think a lot of the problem with pc is the fact that is is and always was membership dominated. But pc only has a few limits. Some items you can't buy, some things you can't do, less sapphires, etc. The only shocking thing is the the fact that now I prefer how pw looks while not liking it at first
I never really got into play wild because not only did I start first,was always much more of a computer person than a phone person (this was in 2015 so I just stuck with ). And I meandid try wild a couple times, I just never got into it personally. I think the reason I haven't switched to play wild now is simply just don't play animal jam much beyond the occasional month. But I also know that another reason I haven't switched is the fact that the rarity system is different. Idk about anyone else but it took me a couple months to get the hang of the system, and even if I don't play the game for a long time, the basic system is still the same. Like I know how much or spike is worth, so iflook up an item on aj worth and see it's worth x amount of spikes or betas, I can understand its worth very easily. I know I could learn the play wild system but I think that for since I'm getting older and don't have the same interest in the game that I used to, I'd rather play the version I know well than put the effort to learn the ways of play wild. But play wild still looks fun and I absolutely have nothing against it, it's just not my cup of tea
I used to play AJ Classic when younger and had trouble being able to since I never really got a computer/laptop and when AJ Play Wild (Now just AJ) came out I was excited since I had mostly mobile devices then and now I play it on PC since my phone can’t handle it.
i grew up w classic, i remember when pw came out, i don’t wanna say i “prefer” (tho i stopped playing classic) but have a disability where it’s hard for me to use the computer (the touch screen computer is a butthead) and pw is more accessible for me, since i grew up w classic and currently playing pw, i’m disappointed that the game that STARTED IT ALL… isn’t getting enough attention that classic deserves.
I don’t dislike play wild, I like it the graphics some new animals, etc.. But I do prefer classic tho. As it came first , I played since it first came out , the adventures, & NOSTALGIA. TBh I haven’t played both in a long time tho 😢
As a longtime classic player, I prefer the play wild version. Simply because the mobile version’s toony 3D look. I love how some of the animal models look, but, of course, I will always cherish all the memories I made in classic. Another reason is the community. Most people (as far as I’ve seen) in classic are simply trading-obsessed. For me, due to more content being in play wild, I enjoy mobile more. Although; I would enjoy some more lore being brought into the game. That might just be my nerdy self - I do enjoy the lore of the game very much. Also, adventures being added to mobile would be amazing! I’m sure others think so as well.
I play both games I used to play classic more than play wild but since the flash thing i have only been able to play play wild andi do not judge whatever platform you play on. both platforms are different i am more of a classic player but the minigames in play wild are funner. i dont understand why people discriminate eachother based on what game you play. anyways amazing video
What I like more about playwild is that I don’t need membership for one piece of clothing and I played classic first and it was pretty fun but as it went on I got bored
I've played both AJ & AJPW, I love both games equally but both of the communities are toxic. I actually played AJPW before I've played AJ! I believe I've played AJPW since 2015, maybe 2016?? I'm not sure, but I've started playing AJ since 3rd grade (The spring of 2016, I remember that very vividly.) Both AJ games have and still are my childhood. And looking at how the games are now hurts me, it hurts me a lot. I Remember being so eager to play AJ & AJPW everyday after I got home from school! Now I just barely play AJ, since the lack of updates. I play AJPW more since it's lively, but I don't like the updates. The cats & dogs look horrible, most of the newer AJPW animals look ugly honestly, as if they were rushed. However, I still do visit AJ time to time. I just wish things were like how they were back then for me, I want to go back. But then again, I always want to go back in the past. Sorry for the whole rant- I sorta do that when it comes to AJ/AJPW now- :,>
So, I'm a Classic player and I agree with what your saying. I am not used to the way Play Wild is. It's graphics and styles are completely different from what I'm used to. I grew up with classic. I also am not allowed to get games on my phone, mostly bc I have a computer and a Switch already. If I started with Play Wild, my opinion might've differed.
I play both animal jam mobile and animal jam classic. I don't hate the mobile version, even a fun fact: When I was young I loved it so much! But I grew up with animal jam classic, and it just became a comfort zone for me since I was very young. Now, it's sad to see that animal jam classic dieing and not getting updated. All my buddies quitted, and its hard now to make new friends ;'( The mobile version just changed a lot, and no longer feels the same like the old days, not sure why-
1:30 its mostly because of nostalgia, most classic players are adults who played it as kids or teens who played as kids. Honestly tho i think its better than mobile anyway, i like 2d stuff more than full on 3d. Most classic players h8 play wild because they abandoned classic, its a total bummer. Like they wouldnt be anywhere without classic
Mmyeah on classic I asked how the players felt about play wild and they thought it was NOTHING compared to classic. ALSO A 9 YEAR OLD THAT GOES TO MURRAYS BAY HAS A UA-cam CHANNEL AND HE REVEALED HIS VOICE, FACE, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS LIKE OMG
I have always been an AJPW kid, I grew up with that game. I had no idea how to use a computer and my grandma needed to use that computer than I did. I will admit that classic seems very interesting and I'm sure I would totally enjoy playing one day. When people discriminate Play Wild, I used to brush it off because all I wanted to do was having fun. It was my life and I could play any version I wanted, so I did. After a while it began to grow annoying. Dislike grew to hate. Hate came towards me online after I told somebody I played AJPW. I was so sad that my childhood game and the biggest reason I had a love for so many animals gave me hate. I wondered what I had done wrong, and that maybe if I had been on computer I would have been liked. So I quit. Now I'm back and my opinion has changed. I know now that I can like wjatever game I want and that I was right in the past:others can't tell me what game to like and not to like. AJPW is full of so many good memories from my childhood. I'm so glad I didn't lean into pressure of trading away my stuff before quitting. I worked hard for everything on my account, through events, parties, trading, buying from the shops, and prizes from the treasure hunts before they were removed. So, in short:Please don't bully people who play AJPW! We are still Animal Jam fans all in our own and we love the game as much as you do. Please be kind to anybody, whether they are an AJ classic player on an AJPW player!
as a classic player i first want to say that i dont HATE play wild, but im not really into it and the reason is reather simple today i'm one month away from turning 20 years old, i've been playing animal jam for 8-10 years as far as i can remember i like classic more because it's nostalgic, because i'm used to it, because that's what i have liked since always, classic is the one that arrived first IN MY HEART and IN MY HEAD i never was rare, i never even owned a black long, not even a purple long, but i understand the bare minimum of classic's trading system and values, and the older i get, the harder it is for me to get used to playwild's worth system, specially with items so similar to the ones i'm used to think are the best ones i USED to hate play wild mostly because it was different then later because it turned into wildwork's main project making classic being left behind but after actually playing it for a while, seeing how it can benefit me in classic(with membership for saphires) and understanding why people are interested in this game and that it isnt WORSE THAN CLASSIC i can say that i dont hate it, its just not my comfort zone and i dont like to change i hate unicorns tho and every pet that you pay real money to get randomized features that is really stupid and gross and nft-like
As a pc player, (I refuse to call AJ "AJ Classic.") I dislike PW, but I don't hate anyone for liking it. I used to like PW before the name change. AJPW became really boring after the name change, especially since they removed treasure hunts. I like PC more because it's way easier to get stuff. You only need to buy a diamond animal once, and after that you can make as many as you want whenever you want with gems. PW is completely different. Not only are the animals expensive, but when one is offsale, you can't get it if you have one already. The monthly prizes have become lame. I actually dislike new animals and dens being added each much. Plus the bundles. You usually need 500 sapphires to even get everything. Its like AJHQ is just trying to get us to buy sapphires using money. If there were animals every month on PC, that would be fine because it's easy to obtain 10 diamonds. One of my favourite things in AJ is the adventures! They're really fun, and are alot better than pack runs. Along with the easy to obtain diamonds, there is TFD(The Forgotten Desert) where you can get items from. You can sell alot of stuff you get from there easily. My hand is getting sweaty from typing, so ima stop writing this for now. I'll probably edit this later
Just wanted to say that I’m not against classic players disliking the mobile players, nor am I against play wild players annoyed at classic players. I honestly just wanted to make a video and put all my thoughts into it. I’m going to make a video about the new jambassadors and how they didn’t pick any animal jam classic jammers REALLY soon!

I think both games are pretty nice and no player should hate another player just because they play a different Version. edit oml tysm for the likes 😭
Yeah I play the mobile and I don't care if you play classic
@@punziletrix same
I agree, I play and love both games equally
FUCK AJPW LOL
Same, I play both but I don’t have a computer that can download ajc, so I can’t play it anymore. But, I still like it! I just can’t play it-
I’ve played both but I simply prefer classic because it seems a lot more “lively”? Every time I go on classic there’s a lot more people chatting and such and it’s easy to make friends. However on Play wild it’s always dead silent and half the kids you meet are rude and are basically trading robots that lack any basic human emotion.
Pretty much.
SO TRUE! I like animal mobile but everybody only trades and the kids are so rude! They yell at people that don't accept there trades and it is annoying
“I wasnt done offering yet, your loss”
Im not sure if you realize it, and I’m not trying to be rude, but you’re being really rude to everyone who likes Animal Jam Play Wild. The only thing I do on AJPW is talk with other Jammers and have fun, like doing fashion shows and role-plays! And you just called everyone who plays Animal Jam Play Wild “trading robots that lack any basic human emotion”. I hope you realize how rude that is. I don’t even trade! Lots of Jammers don’t even trade! Sure, some do and they like it and its fun for them, but that doesn’t mean they’re “trading robots that lack any basic human emotion”!! Also, since when is AJPW dead silent? I’m not sure if its just me, but I see a hundred text bubbles everywhere and anywhere I go! I understand your reasoning to not like AJPW because you like AJC better, but that should not be a reason to be incredible rude and make false statements about AJPW players.
ive been playing ajc for over a decade and in that time ive made lots of friendships and memories on that game when i was younger and from time to time i cant help but come back to it. i think this is the case for other ajc players which is why such a vast majority of the playerbase are older teenagers or even young adults, people who can generally relate to eachother. while i prefer ajc to ajpw i can still appreciate the latter. just a few hours ago a girl who i didnt even know helped me navigate how to play and gave me nearly a hundred items that i could start out with, so i dont think all ajpw are incompetent and unpleasant little children like you said
I kinda feel neglected as an animal jam player I have nothing against people who play animal jam pw and I guess it just gets annoying when AJHQ doesn’t seem to care about Animal Jam. The spin off Animal Jam PW wouldn’t exist without Animal jam, Play Wild isn’t a bad game I just miss all the fun times the Animal Jam community gave like the old jambassadors :(
Frrr, it sucks because all of the old jambassadors where ripped to shreds after controversies they were involved in :/
I grew up on classic and I've played it since 2012. The game itself is very nostalgic to me, and i prefer it over the newer one. I love the adventures and items that they have on the classic version. It's a lot easier to decorate dens and make outfits on the original in my opinion. The fact that everything is in 3D on play wild is kinda odd in my opinion, but I still play it sometimes.
I joined in 2012 too!!
I don’t HATE play wild because I started out on it too but just got more into classic, but I just wish AJHQ would treat both games fairly. Honestly it’s A LOT harder to update AJPW because of the 3D aspect. The least they could do is actually hear us, and maybe update classic like... twice a year? So that they can still focus on play wild while keeping the classic community happy too. That’s really all I want.
I personally love ajc because that’s what I grew up on but ajpw is equally as good! I love the 3D style of ajpw and the tons of different animals
I can agree with you, I only play ajpw because I played Aj on a chromebook and the flash shut down in December 2020, so I had to quit animal jam only because of the device I played on
classic was my child hood and i think it is the best and both games are good but a am mad because of the "amazing" migration but that is just me.
for some reason i played aj play wild first but i love classic lol
i both play some times
but Roblox to me is the best to me :)
for me i like classic more because its much more nostalgic (been playing it since like 2012/14 or so) and the art and colors are much prettier to me. play wild is very saturated and has a lot of very bright colours that dont fit together, its a lot harder to make a pretty den or outfit. im a much bigger fan of aj's more muted natural color sceme. also especially recently play wild has gotten kinda low quality, rushed, and trashy looking, especially with the MONTHLY animals, which seems just insane to me, to be releasing animals that often. and it shows.
The overall athmosphere in play wild i just really dont like.. a lot of areas look weirdly.. fake.. surreal (not in a good way).. empty ? especially some of the recent dens...
Also i do not like how slidy the controls are of your animal, its really weird.
I also dont like the people in game being mostly little kids as opposed to the usually slightly more mature people that play regular animaljam.
And also i dont really enjoy apps.
I did use to like play wild a lot more, even though not as much as the original, but especially in recent years the quality has sadly gone way down, and now play wild just kind of signifies the end of animaljam to me, which is kinda sad :(
I agree, i like ajc more because its more simple and the worth and rarity is more understandable and smoother
@@parfu. may i ask what ur pfp is from?
I played animal jam classic in 2012, and I got ajpw around when it came out and I didn’t like it and it took up a lot of storage so I deleted it. A few years later, I got it again and it was alright. I ended up taking a huge break from it bc the rarity system in ajpw is in my opinion, not very good. Everything is so rare, there’s nowhere to start, really. In AJ classic, u can play adventures for items and such. I remember I would spend hours and months to get a green rare bowtie, I was scammed and was told by people I was over trading and then I was under trading or that it was fair and plus, the item I wanted was incredibly hard to find. I just gave up in all. I also think some players (NOT ALL) can be ungrateful. For an example, I saw someone have a firefly friend on their wishlist (the actual rare one, not the blue RIM one) so I gave them mine for free pretty much. They didn’t say thank u and then I said hey you’re welcome and then they said thanks which wasn’t really that much appreciation, lols. Idk if this is just me, but if I got gifted something like that I would scream in caps and thank them for like 5 minutes haha. Just my thoughts on ajpw, it’s not that bad of a game, but I get bored easily and I will admit I also get bored of AJ Classic.
I think wildworks has just made aj classic like play wild in the rarity system lately because I think they took spikes (at least collars) out of the forgotten desert, lucky clovers, the tiki adventure, ect. (because of "hacking", bruh if hackers want spikes they can get them, don't ruin it for regular jammers in the process) so now there is no way to get them without trading tons for them or just already having them. I used to have some but then I got hacked because of the data leak and didn't realize for awhile cause I don't play much, then when I asked if I could have at least my most important items back (emotional attachments, my neon bow, leap year necklace, pretty nm den betas) they were like "hahah sorry nope" and gave no reasoning.
@@emubeepboop REALLY?? DANG WTH
I agree completely and i rlly wish they would release adventures in ajpw
I like animal jam play wild better than classic sadly because it’s the game I actually enjoyed for the first time and made really good friends with and I could probably go on forever talking about it-
Tbh play wild is toxic or at least since I started playing it was really toxic idk if it still is because I haven’t played either versions in a year. Classic wasn’t as toxic and I actually made some friends on classic unlike play wild I was ignored by many people. I don’t hate play wild I just don’t like the people very much.
Yeah I’ve had the same experience. When I used to play both, I made more friends on classic than on mobile. People on classic were more friendly and open to having conversations other than trading. Don’t know why though.
Strangely I prefer pw even though I grew up with classic. Most of the time people are nice. Majority of the items are for nonmembers unlike classic. I'm broke so I can't afford a membership. I have this love hate relationship with pw.
Note: in my opinion classic seems to be extremely toxic. Everyone just doesn't want to talk to me or do anything.
I personally grew up with pw, but tried classic a month after I found out it existed. At the time I was young so I didn't play it but later, aka just last month- I went to play it again. Except, its kinda scary to talk to everyone, considering that I always see people either trading or selling... And not just that but I've had friends whom were attacked from saying they were play wild players.. Classic for me is scary, but it has many features that Pw does not have, that I enjoy!
Both games are good, and though I prefer pw, I wish they updated classic, its a shame- and its really fun!
I completely agree, I have some friends on classic who claimed that play wild is a 'rip off' or they grew up on AJ classic and suddenly see this big change of the game names. Also, AJ classic gets barely any updates so I understand the classic players can get mad at the play wild players who get a lot more updates.. (I love both games and you shouldn't hate on them!)
Tbh, I think play wild is underrated because more people play classic like I play mobile ajpw more than classic, sometimes my game will always crashes while playing animal jam classic.
I still like classic tho but sometimes the lag can get annoying xd.
Nah classic is dying more ppl play playwild
If u search animal jam more of the results are play wild
Dude, more children play ajpw then aj. It also seems like toddlers and young children go to ajpw, and then aj has been left with the old players like myself who are adults now
@@keiko3099 well it's my opinion 😑
@@keiko3099 I'm not an adult
Yeah, this is true..
Its not like I don't like the game Play Wild or Play Wild UA-camrs, it's just that it was a year ago this month in 2020 that AJHQ did their A-May-Zing update and changes the names of the games. Animal Jam Classic is what I grew up on WAAAAAAAYYYY before aj play wild. I'm slowly but surely moving like an inch a day towards play wild but AJ Classic will ALWAYS and FOREVER be my childhood. ❤🥲🐶
That's true I'm not sure why they decided to change the names of both games, and it was kinda pointless that they got rid of treasure hunts and replace them with spins, treasure hunts are one of the best ways to get more gems.
Classic is dying bc most of everything is for members
Yeah ajc will always be my childhood aswell :3

Me that plays Animal Jam classic only but still watches your videos:👁👄👁
I like both. I started AJPW first, I've been there ever since it first came out. I started PC Animal Jam a good while later, but have gotten a good amount of progress there, too. There are things I like better about AJPW, and things I like better about PC Animal Jam. I am kinda saddened, though, that PC Animal Jam won't really be getting updates anymore.
I wish they would add ajc adventures to ajpw
I personally like both games equally, though I found play wild first. On Aj Classic I go into the pillow room and I always find people complaining about how Play Wild has little kids on it, and how they don’t like the players on Ajpw. My opinion on this honestly, is that I’m not surprised, because Animal Jam in general is a kids game, and a lot of little kids are going to join. I’m not against AJHQ, The Ajc players, or the ajpw players, it’s just that people complain about children being on a game targeted for kids, that just seems a bit weird to me.
one main reason is the trading differences. on animal jam mobile, variety of rares have ridiculously gone up and down multiple times. value in some items even completely dropped from its original worth. it’s so ridiculously hard to trade things now when items that used to be extremely wanted like raccoon tails are more common than small betas. people only want demand worth and dont care if your trade is over or fair

I've been an AJC Jammer since 2013 and will forever remain faithful to it because it's the game I grew up on and just is nostalgic to me. I agree that AJPW (or I guess simply called "AJ" now) is a nice game, the graphics update and amount of constant new animals is good, but the game itself just isn't the original to me and feels like it stole the success away from AJC since AJPW gets far more updates and attention nowadays...
I did start out as a play wild player and barely heard of animal jam except from videos I watched when I was younger when I got around to playing the original I really liked it and stayed up all night trading and playing forgotten dessert I was lucky once and got a short pink outta it but that's not important, otherwise I love both games and kinda sad I can't play the original.
Sorry for this being SOOOOOO long!
i've been playing animal jam (classic) since 2013 so it kinda hurts to see it abandoned for the new game that makes money, however i have nothing against play wild or people playing play wild
I absolutely love Animal Jam play wild because I grew up with it I never grew up with Animal Jam classic
Lol
Same!
Its sad they dislike us :( but at the same time they’re alot of nice classic players who like aj mobile players so i wouldn’t say they are rude. Even the ones who do not like mobile.
There are some things about play wild, that I think make it a better game than classic, but the opposite is true as well. I think any kids who got into animal jam from the mobile version will still have the great experience I did as a little babe. :D
As an AJ classic player (I started at age five and left at age thirteen, which was about four years ago) the main reason I dislike AJ play wild is because it felt like it was replacing Animal Jam, and in some ways it did. I tried to play AJPW when it first came out but like you said with your experience on classic, I just didn’t like it. Another major reason for my dislike of AJPW at the time was the fact it such a drastic change. Compared to its pc counterpart AJPW was very different visually. Not to mention if you’re going to play AJPW you had to make a whole new account and start from scratch. I wasn’t ready to do that and I certainty wasn’t ready to abandoned my old AJC account that I had put 8 years into.
Now that I’m older I recently downloaded AJPW because I wanted to check it out and I was on a Animal Jam nostalgia binge, hence the reason I found this video. AJPW still isn’t the game for me but I can definitely see how many people like it.
AJ classic will always have a place in my heart. It makes me feel so nostalgic to, especially with all the old AJ UA-camr channels and music videos still up. It really sucks to see AJ classic go down hill as that game was such a big part of my childhood.
I’m very happy to see Animal Jam is still being talked about and played to this day even if the game has changed slightly :) I’m glad people can make new memories through the same game.
Someone said to me on classic “Find your own 3D version and leave, you edgy little 7 year old”...
THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL! I don't hate play wild players, but I'm just angry at AJHQ for ignoring aj classic
People who originally played classic, like myself, were probably tied to nostalgia. The idea that this newer trend hopping game was replacing and stealing attention from the original game was.. kinda sad. I only switched to animal jam mobile because my friends switched, and I noticed that a lot of the old fan base was moving, too. Ajpw is also a LOT less restricted, the rare items weren’t usually locked behind paywalls, and everyone could look cool without spending money.
I play both games, I started on AJPW first and I didn’t know there was a 2d computer version. I love both games, just look at my pfp
Bruh that’s exactly me how I found ajpw first and didn’t know anything about the 2d version-
Yeah your profile pic is really cool It’s always one of the ones I recognize when you comment

How I see it, nobody should be fighting about which game is better, that just depends on what you think. Neither of them are superior to the other. But playing Aj (classic) for as long as I remember, and having the game I love and made so many amazing memories with being pushed aside by the creators, I am very annoyed and I think me and all the other classics players have a right to feel that way. No, this does not justify the hate that play wild players are getting from classic players, because the play wild players had nothing to do with aj classic not getting anymore updates. But play wild players shouldn't be mad at classic players either. We should all be able to be kind and thoughtful to each other, not think that either side is better than the other and blame the other side for something they had no control over.
My original issue with aj mobile was that whenever I played I got motion sickness from the 3d camera, then it transitioned into a ridiculously juvenile hatred on the game for stealing my favorite game from me (yes, that is what I said) now it has been a while and I have matured a lot since then, I have come to realize that once it stopped giving me motion sickness that I do prefer aj mobile, I need to adjust myself into the community and learn how the trading, item obtaining, games, etc work but I think I will come to really enjoy aj mobile in the long run
Hi. I was a classic animal jam player. Fact is I like learning about animals. I might not be a kid, but I like learning about animals which is why I started to play the game in the first place.
What kept me playing classic mostly were the adventures. They almost reminded me of mmorpg dungeons. I love dungeons and playing with others to accomplish something something in a game. And the fact I could play as an animal of my choosing was even better. I stopped playing animal jam because I eventually realized that the staff weren't going to release any new adventures or any new animals I could work on. And the adventures I was able to play were getting incredibly boring. Still I was able to level up all of my 101 animals to more than level one and my highest levelled animal was probably 23 I think. I feel pretty proud of my accomplishment for some reason.
I tried play wild but that game is just not for me. I need lore, some kind of story to keep me interested. And of course without the adventures, play wild pretty much lost me instantly. I'm not upset that they chose to focus on playwild at all. It's just I'm not a kid and play wild doesn't have anything which makes me want to come back to the game.
So I've moved onto Feral. Feral doesn't have adventures but I love the mystery of feral. The lore is amazing and they are actually updating the game now and then(which is so exciting coming from classic). So I'm going to have to say that I prefer feral to both play wild and classic.
animaljam classic i started in 2014 :) i mean sometimes i log on animal jam play wild just to see but its not my fav. oh and i still play aj classic
this is really late but let me put my opinion here since i am an og classic player that still currently plays and honestly hates play wild. personally, i don't hate play wild players, honestly if you enjoy that game, that's great! the reason why i hate play wild is because i grew up playing classic and it's such a nostalgic game for me but when play wild came out, we started getting less updates, recycled updates, and eventually literally just nothing at all. there are literally like no world servers anymore and there's almost never any full servers. the game used to flourish and now it's quite literally dead. it's sad to see a game that you've been playing for almost decade be completely pushed to the side and forgotten and the reason it's that way is because of play wild. that's why us classic players hate play wild so much. it's because play wild is the reason as to why classic is being neglected. its less hating on play wild players and more on just hating the game itself.
Anyone else have a little conversation with people on classic and they say they hate ajpw? and you just agree with them so they wont get mad at u or something?
I like AJPC mainly because it's just the one I grew up with, and I'm not used to AJPW's trading system just yet. though I will admit AJPW does have many more features AJPC doesn't and that makes it so much more entertaining even if you aren't there for the trading
This has been a century long question for me that really needs to be answered.
personally i like mobile more because classic seems a bit too "laggy" feeling and ajpw just feels better because in jamaa township on classic its almost always EXTREMELY crowded
Second :p and I think both games are bootiful 💜
OH NO ITS JUST LIKE THE JAVA VS BEDROCK MINECRAFT WAR 😟😂😂😂
As someone who grew up on pw I totally understand that the classic players don’t like the game and their reasons are COMPLETELY valid, I’m not mad or upset that some people dislike the game
My sister hates mobile bc its 3D
I love classic way better than ajpw, but now since i cant play classic it kinda pains me to log onto ajpw and get really anooyed at how classic gets nothing and ajpw gets literally all the attention. I guess if they add adventures to ajpw then I would most definitely play it more.
Nice video :D
They probably feel the same way Diablo players felt when they announced Diablo is coming to mobile. It just reminds the consumers that the company only cares about what's trendy and profitable, not what's good for the fans. If it was just one game, and they focused on making the original perform better and on multiple platforms, it would've seemed less like a blatant cash grab.
When I used to be on classic I actually really wanted to get Mobile. Now, I like both games.
I saw the reviews and all of them were talking about how sapphires are freaking expensive.I downloaded it and deleted it.Why? ITS SUPER LAGGY ! I play pokemon go btw.

I think they're also mad because non members have it more easy on PW because membership is not required for. Every. Single. Cool.Thing. In the game.
I agree but ajhq is only updating play wild and I keep thinking to quit
for me, ive been literally playing aj since 2011 and it's me comfort game even as i go into my adult life; i don't dislike play wild, i think it has so much potential, but i just dont see the effort put into the game as much as the years of love animal jam has been given, such as the parties being completely undecorated, the animals kind of have stilted animations and some of the designs just... look uncanny LMAO
i also just play mobile on my computer, since its on steam, even though on there it's completely broken and basically unplayable sometimes LMAO
i think the moment where i really started disliking *wildworks* is when they changed the name to classic and animal jam, and forcing the community to move shift to play wild. it shows a lack of how theyre communicating with the players, and how the completely neglect the community that has grown around the games nowdays.
and, another part i dont like about play wild is the player base. most players are young children that i cant really talk with / feel uncomfortable talking to LMAO
edit, i have more to say but i didnt want to make it longer LMAO
but i generally dont like the community on either games, i think the rarity and trading people are annoying and i think the unsolicited dating requests are annoying on pw; i think the main thing that i dislike about ajpc is literally the rare hoarders and livestreamers that just want a quick buck. my goal in the community is to just make content people can enjoy without profiting off of kids, which a lot of livestreamers and rare people ignore
tldr; wildworks is the issue, the games arent

I was more than fine with ajpc being the main game even though i never got to play it. It just looks better than play wild, mostly because of the animals and accessory animations.
Im sad that aj classic dose not update I use to love the adventure and want to see what next, but it ends and my account is on lock down there is nothing new. My sister go on the game with her buddies instead of on aj play wild with me she is getting betas and rare spike collars also other things. Im pretty lonely on there all by myself doing my daily things every day on each daily spin.
After sharing one computer with my sister I never made my account so I when on the phone in those earlier days to find aj play wild. It gotten cooler over the years when I finally became a member I started to play both games
I'm a classic player, although I kinda like AJPW but it also kinda upsets me, Ajpw has great updates and a way to get membership for sapphires which is so amazing, there's plenty of decent people there but... it feels like AJPW is replacing classic, less updates all recycled, they changed the name and the game can get boring at times and it sucks since it's been like this for 2019 all recycled. Don't get me wrong I don't hate AJPW or it's players It just kinda hurts to see the game I played for 5 years die, but I hope the AJPW players enjoy their game and I hope everything goes well for AJPW.
I started AJ classic in 2013, when PlayWild came out it just didn’t appeal to me at all. In my 5 year old eyes it just looked like a rip off AJ... And then when it took the name Animal Jam I was really upset because it was basically taking away that joy of opening Animal Jam on the family computer after school. It’s almost as if they’re saying “This is just the old sucky one’, use the new one so we can’t have money” AJPW doesn’t bring back good memories. I personally think that AJC is better, it has more of that instant nostalgia.
I actually play on both mobile and on my laptop because it not only adds to my OCs it also brings back childhood memories of the good days!!
While wildwork's favoritism towards play wild is definitely a reason I have a distaste for play wild, I think it is mostly the graphics for me. I just personally can't stand the pixely, choppy, oversatured aesthetics of play wild. I also just generally prefer 2D aesthetics to 3D aesthetics but that depends on the style as well. Whenever I play play wild I just end up thinking "I wonder how this den/animal/outfit/location would look in classic aj" because I can create an outfit I would in theory like with colours similar to ones I like, items with flowers and naturey stuff I in theory like, and just think "this looks bad, it would look so good in aj classic style though". Like I'll see drawings of play wild characters and think "wow that looks nice" and then I see the in-game look and it just looks, not good? Idk it might just be a personal thing. Animal jam classic is one of the first things that got me into art because I loved the style and I thought it was so pretty and I wanted to make something like it, so from an artistic standpoint I am just irritated by play wild's aesthetics? idk it might just be me, and for those who like play wild's graphics I don't mean any of this personally ofc :P
Also, they did the name change thing on animal jam's 10th anniversary celebration... I thought we were finally gonna get an actual big-ish update to celebrate a whole decade.... but nOOoOOooo "plz play pw instead Uwu we'll give u sapphires" hahah jokes on them I just got sapphires on a bunch of my alts and got those 400 sapphire month memberships for aj classic with sapphires (pls don't snitch hahah).
Although I started on AJPW I prefer AJC because lately AJPW has been a little more toxic.
As an aj (classic) player since 2011, I can confirm that plenty of us dislike ajpw and will never call it just "animal jam!!" And it's not just us alone, players who moved onto feral from aj tend to also dislike ajpw
Now, I have played ajpw even before its first anniversary. I am also an old ajpw player and after seeing the negative effects and how it has downgraded with the various creatures, it just makes the game disgusting to me.. my opinion and the rest of yours are valid too!
I started playing AJ classic right after Beta Testing, and I got Play Wild a year after its release. I grew up with Classic but LOVED play wild. I think they both have their ups and downs, but overall I love them both.
To be honest, I have tried playing AJPW, I have tried to trade, play games, and more but I just physically can't. Not that I don't want to it's just learning a completely new game. In addition, I passionately dislike how everything looks on AJPW. The app constantly crashes and takes a lot of space on my mobiles. The trading system is also confusing.
The positives about AJPW are the phantom dimension and the pet exhibitions, they are super interactive with the player and force them to keep on playing the next day.
i know this has nothing to do with the actual video but i love your outro 😭😭 the pokemon music really hits lol
also im playing pokemon sword as i type this lolllll
As an ajpw player, aj classic is better in many ways. ajpw has a pretty bad player base, unlike aj classic, since it has an older and more mature community, ppl on ajpw can give me a headache.
Agreed, I feel like AJPW appeals more to younger folks, and you know younger folks are way more problematic, AJ classic seems more mature since it’s been there for a long time.
I’ve been a classic player for over 6 years, and honestly, the only reason why I’ve never really played animal jam play wild, is because when I joined, it was too laggy and it kept kicking me out of the game, but that was a few years ago when the game just released, so infact, I think I might go download aj play wild right now :P
I started as a classic player who didn't really like mobile but also had limited access to a computer to someone who now prefers play wild. I think a lot of it is availability, lack of new ajpc content, and the way they do pets (which got me into pet trading). In ajpw, you can own any type of pet, but they're expensive. In pc, you can own very few types of pets, but they're cheap after the first one. I think a lot of the problem with pc is the fact that is is and always was membership dominated. But pc only has a few limits. Some items you can't buy, some things you can't do, less sapphires, etc.
The only shocking thing is the the fact that now I prefer how pw looks while not liking it at first
I never really got into play wild because not only did I start first,was always much more of a computer person than a phone person (this was in 2015 so I just stuck with ). And I meandid try wild a couple times, I just never got into it personally. I think the reason I haven't switched to play wild now is simply just don't play animal jam much beyond the occasional month. But I also know that another reason I haven't switched is the fact that the rarity system is different. Idk about anyone else but it took me a couple months to get the hang of the system, and even if I don't play the game for a long time, the basic system is still the same. Like I know how much or spike is worth, so iflook up an item on aj worth and see it's worth x amount of spikes or betas, I can understand its worth very easily. I know I could learn the play wild system but I think that for since I'm getting older and don't have the same interest in the game that I used to, I'd rather play the version I know well than put the effort to learn the ways of play wild. But play wild still looks fun and I absolutely have nothing against it, it's just not my cup of tea
I used to play AJ Classic when younger and had trouble being able to since I never really got a computer/laptop and when AJ Play Wild (Now just AJ) came out I was excited since I had mostly mobile devices then and now I play it on PC since my phone can’t handle it.
i grew up w classic, i remember when pw came out, i don’t wanna say i “prefer” (tho i stopped playing classic) but have a disability where it’s hard for me to use the computer (the touch screen computer is a butthead) and pw is more accessible for me, since i grew up w classic and currently playing pw, i’m disappointed that the game that STARTED IT ALL… isn’t getting enough attention that classic deserves.
I don’t dislike play wild, I like it the graphics some new animals, etc.. But I do prefer classic tho. As it came first , I played since it first came out , the adventures, & NOSTALGIA. TBh I haven’t played both in a long time tho 😢
As a mobile player, I wonder why, gonna be a good vid!
As a longtime classic player, I prefer the play wild version. Simply because the mobile version’s toony 3D look. I love how some of the animal models look, but, of course, I will always cherish all the memories I made in classic. Another reason is the community. Most people (as far as I’ve seen) in classic are simply trading-obsessed. For me, due to more content being in play wild, I enjoy mobile more. Although; I would enjoy some more lore being brought into the game. That might just be my nerdy self - I do enjoy the lore of the game very much. Also, adventures being added to mobile would be amazing! I’m sure others think so as well.
I play both games I used to play classic more than play wild but since the flash thing i have only been able to play play wild andi do not judge whatever platform you play on. both platforms are different i am more of a classic player but the minigames in play wild are funner. i dont understand why people discriminate eachother based on what game you play. anyways amazing video
I'm someone who plays both, but I only really play animal jam for friends, otherwise I probably would've already quit by now
I play both equally and I love both games so much and I would never blame someone for likening one game more than another
I have SOOOOO MUCH stuff on AJ Classic, however, I LOVE PW! I really want them to add a feature where you can transfer your AJ Classic items to PW
I like both but I like playing play wild more.
But I love watch UA-cam videos on both games because I watch the jambassadors
What I like more about playwild is that I don’t need membership for one piece of clothing and I played classic first and it was pretty fun but as it went on I got bored
I've played both AJ & AJPW, I love both games equally but both of the communities are toxic.
I actually played AJPW before I've played AJ! I believe I've played AJPW since 2015, maybe 2016?? I'm not sure, but I've started playing AJ since 3rd grade (The spring of 2016, I remember that very vividly.)
Both AJ games have and still are my childhood. And looking at how the games are now hurts me, it hurts me a lot. I Remember being so eager to play AJ & AJPW everyday after I got home from school!
Now I just barely play AJ, since the lack of updates. I play AJPW more since it's lively, but I don't like the updates. The cats & dogs look horrible, most of the newer AJPW animals look ugly honestly, as if they were rushed. However, I still do visit AJ time to time.
I just wish things were like how they were back then for me, I want to go back. But then again, I always want to go back in the past.
Sorry for the whole rant- I sorta do that when it comes to AJ/AJPW now- :,>
So, I'm a Classic player and I agree with what your saying. I am not used to the way Play Wild is. It's graphics and styles are completely different from what I'm used to. I grew up with classic. I also am not allowed to get games on my phone, mostly bc I have a computer and a Switch already. If I started with Play Wild, my opinion might've differed.
I play both animal jam mobile and animal jam classic.
I don't hate the mobile version, even a fun fact: When I was young I loved it so much!
But I grew up with animal jam classic, and it just became a comfort zone for me since I was very young.
Now, it's sad to see that animal jam classic dieing and not getting updated. All my buddies quitted, and its hard now to make new friends ;'(
The mobile version just changed a lot, and no longer feels the same like the old days, not sure why-
1:30 its mostly because of nostalgia, most classic players are adults who played it as kids or teens who played as kids.
Honestly tho i think its better than mobile anyway, i like 2d stuff more than full on 3d.
Most classic players h8 play wild because they abandoned classic, its a total bummer. Like they wouldnt be anywhere without classic
Ik
A good term for yoir channel is "Commentary," that's why I like your channel even after quitting.
Just asking.... what game are you playing in the vid? Great video! Also I played play wild first as well 🤧🗿
Mmyeah on classic I asked how the players felt about play wild and they thought it was NOTHING compared to classic.
ALSO A 9 YEAR OLD THAT GOES TO MURRAYS BAY HAS A UA-cam CHANNEL AND HE REVEALED HIS VOICE, FACE, FAMILY, AND FRIENDS LIKE OMG
I have always been an AJPW kid, I grew up with that game. I had no idea how to use a computer and my grandma needed to use that computer than I did. I will admit that classic seems very interesting and I'm sure I would totally enjoy playing one day. When people discriminate Play Wild, I used to brush it off because all I wanted to do was having fun. It was my life and I could play any version I wanted, so I did.
After a while it began to grow annoying. Dislike grew to hate. Hate came towards me online after I told somebody I played AJPW. I was so sad that my childhood game and the biggest reason I had a love for so many animals gave me hate. I wondered what I had done wrong, and that maybe if I had been on computer I would have been liked. So I quit.
Now I'm back and my opinion has changed. I know now that I can like wjatever game I want and that I was right in the past:others can't tell me what game to like and not to like. AJPW is full of so many good memories from my childhood. I'm so glad I didn't lean into pressure of trading away my stuff before quitting. I worked hard for everything on my account, through events, parties, trading, buying from the shops, and prizes from the treasure hunts before they were removed.
So, in short:Please don't bully people who play AJPW! We are still Animal Jam fans all in our own and we love the game as much as you do. Please be kind to anybody, whether they are an AJ classic player on an AJPW player!
AWESOME VID QUEEN , oops caps whoops ^^ i loveeeeeeee ur vidzzz
I actually played mobile first and when I found classic I just left play wild.
I still love classic more then play wild, and always will.
And yes, I’ve been playing pc and pw the same amount of time.
Im not super into play wild, but i can see why so many people enjoy it. Ive tried ajpw its a fun experience! but its not really my thing.
I remember playing both games when they come out
On my computer we couldn't even play classic it automatically opened PLAY WILD somehow.
They're focusing on play wild SO much, you can't even play classic at all anymore-
Classic was alot of my childhood but then I moved onto play wild so I'm not too mad about it.
I'm just mad for the players still out there.
You scroll down and go to classic and press play and download it
as a classic player i first want to say that i dont HATE play wild, but im not really into it and the reason is reather simple
today i'm one month away from turning 20 years old, i've been playing animal jam for 8-10 years as far as i can remember
i like classic more because it's nostalgic, because i'm used to it, because that's what i have liked since always, classic is the one that arrived first IN MY HEART and IN MY HEAD
i never was rare, i never even owned a black long, not even a purple long, but i understand the bare minimum of classic's trading system and values, and the older i get, the harder it is for me to get used to playwild's worth system, specially with items so similar to the ones i'm used to think are the best ones
i USED to hate play wild
mostly because it was different
then later because it turned into wildwork's main project making classic being left behind
but after actually playing it for a while, seeing how it can benefit me in classic(with membership for saphires) and understanding why people are interested in this game and that it isnt WORSE THAN CLASSIC
i can say that i dont hate it, its just not my comfort zone and i dont like to change
i hate unicorns tho
and every pet that you pay real money to get randomized features
that is really stupid and gross and nft-like
As a pc player, (I refuse to call AJ "AJ Classic.") I dislike PW, but I don't hate anyone for liking it. I used to like PW before the name change. AJPW became really boring after the name change, especially since they removed treasure hunts. I like PC more because it's way easier to get stuff. You only need to buy a diamond animal once, and after that you can make as many as you want whenever you want with gems. PW is completely different. Not only are the animals expensive, but when one is offsale, you can't get it if you have one already. The monthly prizes have become lame. I actually dislike new animals and dens being added each much. Plus the bundles. You usually need 500 sapphires to even get everything. Its like AJHQ is just trying to get us to buy sapphires using money. If there were animals every month on PC, that would be fine because it's easy to obtain 10 diamonds. One of my favourite things in AJ is the adventures! They're really fun, and are alot better than pack runs. Along with the easy to obtain diamonds, there is TFD(The Forgotten Desert) where you can get items from. You can sell alot of stuff you get from there easily.
My hand is getting sweaty from typing, so ima stop writing this for now. I'll probably edit this later
