me too!!!! i remember waking up every morning for the entirety of elementary just to walk around jamaa before school!!! i miss all of the fun and wonder i experienced playing AJ. i'd do anything to go back to 2012 - 2018 :( anything before corona
Same... I dont remember any of my account info especially because the parent email was one my mom made and she made a lot of them. Since I haven't been on it in years it is likely long gone now.
Gosh I still remember playing that game in school (our school allowed those games at the time) but everytime I try and go back to animal jam, I get locked out 😑 I don't know if that's normal or just a me issue...
@@pv7875 maybe your account got hacked, there was a data breach last year, and assuming your acount was 2+ years old, it probably got hacked, thats why its locked.
Same, have been thinking of logging in again soon. I played feral for a while as well, but it always felt different, it doesn't really have the spark that animal jam has
not sure if its worth noting, but there use to be a way to get a glitched color on your character if you clicked a certain pixel while coloring it, and a masterpiece gallery party that launched when masterpieces did, that slowly got more and more hidden/'hidden' over time
Ahhh yeah I used to glitch the color all the time! Doesn't seem to work now tho which really sucks cuz that shade of blue was perfect for my character compared to the one I have to use now xd
You missed some of the things related to zero. There were a lot of accounts that were named after numbers, that had the same avatar as zero. They all had a grey and white koala with red x eyes, and all of their dens had portals that went to zero's den.
@@probably3024 same, i was actually sort of friends with zero for a little bit. she was really chill and was just a username collector, there wasn't actually anything sinister going on like people thought lol
I remember playing when they were getting rid of club geoz. There was a secret shop where you could get a hat with headphones. The childhood memories man.
Does anyone remember that hacker in about 2013 who got access to animals before they were released? I think they played as a kangaroo and a cougar before they were even hinted at
I still have this vivid memory where I actually got one of his jam-a-grams, but I didn't open the gift. I logged out and went back in, and a gift that I'd won from the daily spin was there so I was forced to open it. I checked my mail and the jam-a-gram was gone, but I was still really scared, so I stopped for the day, but I never played again. 3-4 years later, my brother logs back into his old account and checks out mine. I still had my stuff, so I either got lucky, or it's still waiting. But it doesn't matter since I lost interest in the game :)
@@Jinchee i actually met him too!! it was very surreal and also my old account stopped working (i couldn't earn gems or really do anything new) but it wasnt like the whole jam-a-gram thing, so im sorta confused if it actually happened (i was like,, reaaaally young back then)
Was a huge aj fan and would play it all the time from when I was 7-12, havnt played in 3 years, so I have no idea what’s happened since so this is gonna be confusing and nostalgic lol
I remember there being a specific place in like 2015-2016 animal jam in the place with the zios statue, which at that point was still broken, next to the colour changing flowers you could click a specific pixel and get an apple. It was weird.
@pigeon One time in about 2015, I looked up one of the many users people were saying, iamforeverlost, and it said they had last been on over thirty days ago. I had the bright idea to go to their den. After a few seconds, they logged in and came to their den and said "you're next." then left. I was about nine and I was so scared, I went back to my den and immediately logged out, and I had to sleep in my parents' room. For some reason I never heard from them again. The thing is whenever I hear stories like this I assume it's a lie, and I want to think that the whole lost jammer thing was fake but I definitely remember my experience. I just really don't understand how they knew to log in while I was there since they hadn't been on in so long. Thoughts??
There was also a hacker known by the username "colorfulghost" around 2012-2013 who barely anyone that I've talked to remembers or even knows about at all. I'd love to know more about them. :) Basically the story goes, colorfulghost was the OG color hacker, you know the mud in Appondale, the lava in the Wolves Only Party, etc? They could change their wolf to any color and opacity of that sort on command (through third-party programs), and often showed that power off to other Jammers, which led to them getting banned. They could also give their wolf (also through third-party programs) roses, oranges, cake, moths, and other icons that could be obtained through clicking on an item and would appear at the top-right of their animal. They assumedly never hacked other players, though. Their wolf had a white and black coat and was named "Old Scaryghost". A few years later, after they got banned and the Animal Jam servers were cleansed of old accounts, AJHQ and many other players forgot about colorfulghost, as they were not well-known in the first place, and someone made an account with the same username to impersonate them. A couple of players noticed that the original colorfulghost had only one achievement, "Color Me Rad!". And that's the end of my knowledge of colorfulghost. I'm very interested in this hacker's story, though. Maybe someone could research and find out more..
@@kits6369 ooh, that's really interesting! I wasn't playing aj yet, I joined in 2014, and I haven't heard that name that Ik of, but the color hack sounds like what's been happening recently and I know of the glitch where ppl hold things from adventures. I wonder if I've heard about them and just didn't realize. Ty for bringing it up!
I think the difference between the headdress and head feather items though is the headdress was based off of a war bonnet, which to native americans is very important and one must be worthy of wearing it. It is of great ceremonial importance, and thus it being available for purchase in a store by anyone would be incredibly inappropriate.
i dont even know if this is much of a secret, but does anyone still remember the animal color glitch? it was the one where if you clicked the corner of the color customization, the color would glitch and either give you an ice blue or magenta tone. it still works last time i checked, my old account's owl still has it as a pattern. :]
I miss National Geographics involvement the most. I loved the treasure hunts for the animal facts and I loved the mystery around the shaman and Aztec influences, which is probably why I'm into Aztec archaeology now! I loved the mystery around Mira, I remember being able to trade-glitch into walls and just look at her statue.
@@Dimpy2003AJ I agree with that! I think its strange to have any item representing a culture, religion, race, etc being so wanted over other things. I'm still glad they were included, though.
I was an avid AJ player back in 2013-2016 (and I still revisit the game sometimes since it means a lot to me), and wow some of these were a serious blast from the past!!
i waited so long for a animal jam iceberg, i think theres so many things that still be waiting to be discorvered in the aj lore, but this one is mostly completed, tysm for making the vid!
the creepy thing is, when I go and create a new JAG in AJC, when it loads it has a brief flash of 'Thanks for playing with me!' in the place where Animal Jam Classic Rocks! should be. Brrrr...
I'm surprised that the "scary siren sound" wasn't in here If you don't know what I'm talking about It is a sound glitch in ajpw that replaces all of the sound effects and music with a loud siren like noise After a few seconds (or minute or two) the game crashes It can happen at random And the glitch still remains to this day
When I went to school in 2017, I had a teacher who had a daughter that played Animal Jam. I asked her if she could tell her daughter that I played the game and that I want to buddy her. I don't remember exactly what got us discussing hackers on Animal Jam, but she told me that she bought an Animal Jam toy for her daughter and her daughter put in the code the toy came with, and after a few hours, her daughter got hacked and had all of her items stolen? From the teacher's explanation, it was an official toy from the store. I don't know how true or accurate this is, but I still think about it whenever Animal Jam is brought up. I was also scared to enter in codes to toys after this, lol. If anyone else has had a similar experience like this, can you please tell me? I need to know if this can actually happen, or if the whole code thing was just a coincidence and the kid happened to do something else that got her hacked.
I think it might be a coincidence, I have bought official animal jam toys before and i didn't get hacked or scammed out of them, perhaps a hacker noticed that the girl had that item and hacked her (like if she had it on her trades list or animal)?
Yes, I also knew someone who had this happen to them. If you got an AJ toy in around 2015-2017, there was a group of hackers hacking promos out of people. Even if you had the promo off of your animal/Unequipped as a pet/Not on trade list or den. They could hack u out of it anyway.
I think I found the video of the panda adoption on a kids reading platform called epic-books for kids edit: so yes, they probably did go along with it but its interesting how I found the video of it in a weird place.
about the unused shaman models, i was on the wiki and actually found a gif of cosmo's model that i assume was shown in some trailer? so that's one model found. personally, i'm quite interested in seeing the other 3 alphas, so i hope those are out there somewhere!
I'm surprised none of the books about the alphas made their way onto here. I recently decided to reread the ones I owned (1-3) and I guess I was remembering the shipping fuel right.
Okay but seriously they had a ton of lore about Mira and Zios, and if the books really are canon it kinda brings a ton of cool stuff to mind. I again, only had the first three but still.
Before the data breach was made public, I went in a buddy portal in a person's den and it lead to a den of a user called "databreach", but when I searched the username it said "That user doesn't exist!". The den was full of the beta cat banners (which was probably due to item duplication). I posted a screenshot of it in the comments of the buddy portal page on the wiki
Aw I remember astro squad I was so scared I actually stayed up for most of that night they where ment to be hacking but nothing happened - and then my email was hacked in the data breach :')
Random story time from my time of playing ajpw: I remember that at some time that game was having a lot of bugs, and one of my friends told me it was because a group of hackers was hacking the game and were planning on deleting every account. So we spent the day all collectively freaking, trying to find a way to protect our accounts.
Things I didn't know: AstroSquad, Lines of Power teased in beta, jambassadors faking giveaways, WLFA news report, AJ Junior, baby panda adoption, lobo cavern, french competitions, snoopy, aussie zoo, cultural appropriation, feral cover up, glassdoor reviews, forced resignation, fbi
Oh man. I created my account back in 2013 and played until 2016 I think. The game introduced me to some great people who i still keep in touch to this day. I used to log in from time to time but since the data breach happened i let my account get lost and let all my memories connected to the game get sealed in. :) Rip Spiritleopard999
Watching this video is bringing back so many memories, it hurts lol. 2015-2018 was the golden age in animal jam for me. Thank you for making this video :)
Duuuude I remember the monthly pets, I remember getting the pet owl in a jam-a-gram during either January or February and that was pure bliss for my child self omg
Headresses were removed for cultural appropriation, at least thats what AJHQ told me when I tried to ask for a headdress when I got hacked years ago around the time they removed them. My theory, based on the fact they've removed items before in their entirety (see skullies, which btw I'm shocked they weren't on the iceberg, same with the beta animal jam site and how hyped it was seeing it on the wayback machine) is that they knew they had to keep headdresses in the game to manipulate the rarity system like said previously, and also knew a lot of people would be sad seeing headdresses gone considering they are the most if not second most popular item in the game.
Man i wish i was a kid again. I came back for nostalgic reasons 😂 but man i hope this game continues to thrive for many generations to come. Maybe one day theyll perfect it.
omg this brings me back i remember watching julian2s hacker videos n glitches and watching the creepypastas i would be so scared LOL i miss animal jam and what it used to be anyways i was puplove2000... just putting that out there incase anyone knows me haha
I could’ve missed him mentioning this, so please tell me if I’m wrong. But wasnt there a use known as the “Lost Jammer”? Not sure what his IGN is, but his name was always “awesome sunny brave” supposed to be a hacker or something.
the lost jammer is, as far as i can remember, a fanfiction creepypasta somebody made based off animal jam. awesome sunnybrave was the name of the animal jam fman122 used. think you may be getting your streams crossed there lol
I remember when alphas were called Shamans. They changed it due to the word having a religious connotation and this made many users mad back in the day.
I saw the name club gioz and "breaking the ice/bridge" and immediately became absolutely flooded with memories oh my god. I can already tell I'm gonna be flooded with nostalgia, I've played the game for 9 years-
i haven't played for a while and in december of 2020 ig, i decided to play aj and DAMN there's a lot of stuff. idk what happened to aj but i remember the creppypastas and etc like the lost jammer creppypsta (and i remember making a fake account of lost jammer, and then using my original account to say to everyone that the lost jammer was in my den lol)
Funny thing is that I've been watching the MCYT Quackity (present quackity) so much without realizing he was the same quackity that started all of those raids back then.
personally i really would hope that they were removing the headdresses due to cultural appropriation but the head feathers definitely don't help. as an indigenous person it's.......a lot
Damn, Geo got removed? Shucks, I liked that place.. A nice little escape that had the occasional fiasco to attend. Guess I'll appreciate that I could enjoy it while it was still there.
I remember when, I think, the snow leopard came out(?) and my cousin was one of the first people to get because people were swarming him. One kid even asked if he was an admin.
@@Kekful ahhh alright! Shocked I didn't know about prior cover up stories for feral before haha. Very good video btw even if its one of your older ones, still stands up quiet nicely :)
Thanks for the video Kek, this was my favorite so far! I love iceberg videos and it was so interesting with you explaining it, have an amazing day everyone! :DD
I remember playing this game and getting free membership for no reason and i was genuinely surprised when i found when i asked my mom she said she didn't buy it
hey i wanna add onto the zero thing! i got in contact with them 7 years ago and they told me that it was all false and that tombstone was added for a friend of theirs that passed away for reasons that they won't list.
Does anyone remember the Little Tiger Wildworks pasted over different parts of a couple land concepts in one of the guidebooks? It creeped me out so much as a kid-
I miss enjoying this game as a kid. It made up almost the entirety of my childhood. Now as an adult it's just a hot mess of nostalgia and the incapability to enjoy a game I once loved.
I started playing ajpw about the time when tigers were released, (a long time ago.) i loved the game. It’s so different from then and now. It’s so much like og aj and it’s full of toxic players, I quit a while back.
mm I love these iceberg videos that people make of games. all of your videos are very interesting, I look forward to watching them although I don't play animal jam anymore :]
Just a note to you guys, Peck has been spotted in animal jam, mobile. I have not seen her but a hacker got her model and played on it in a UA-cam video before.
Make sure to leave a like if you did enjoy! A lot of time and research went into this video and I had a lot of fun making it :D
Hi

The biggest iceberg here is there’s wolverine hair in AJ lol
It’s a joke if it sounds rude sorry it kinda does

Am i missing a joke
If so im so sorry woooosh me 😭
about the unused shaman models, i was on the wiki and actually found a gif of cosmo's model that i assume was shown in some trailer? so that's one model found. personally, i'm quite interested in seeing the other 3 alphas, so i hope those are out there somewhere!
looking back at it, the "SB incident" was pretty hilarious
I'm surprised none of the books about the alphas made their way onto here. I recently decided to reread the ones I owned (1-3) and I guess I was remembering the shipping fuel right.
Okay but seriously they had a ton of lore about Mira and Zios, and if the books really are canon it kinda brings a ton of cool stuff to mind. I again, only had the first three but still.
I play ajpw ;-;
I’m so MAD that AJHQ is NEGLECTING Aj CLASSIC!!! AHHH!!! This was a really cool video btw!
I haven't touched animal jam in years so this is gonna be a _very_ fun ride for me
Before the data breach was made public, I went in a buddy portal in a person's den and it lead to a den of a user called "databreach", but when I searched the username it said "That user doesn't exist!". The den was full of the beta cat banners (which was probably due to item duplication). I posted a screenshot of it in the comments of the buddy portal page on the wiki
3:15 fun fact when the quackity raid was going on and I was a dedicated AJ player. So to fight the yellow penguin we all dressed up as blue penguin
i haven’t played animal jam since the duplication drama in like late 2017 this video was so cool thank you
Aw I remember astro squad I was so scared I actually stayed up for most of that night they where ment to be hacking but nothing happened - and then my email was hacked in the data breach :')
Yeah same
Random story time from my time of playing ajpw:
I remember that at some time that game was having a lot of bugs, and one of my friends told me it was because a group of hackers was hacking the game and were planning on deleting every account. So we spent the day all collectively freaking, trying to find a way to protect our accounts.
Things I didn't know: AstroSquad, Lines of Power teased in beta, jambassadors faking giveaways, WLFA news report, AJ Junior, baby panda adoption, lobo cavern, french competitions, snoopy, aussie zoo, cultural appropriation, feral cover up, glassdoor reviews, forced resignation, fbi
Oh man. I created my account back in 2013 and played until 2016 I think. The game introduced me to some great people who i still keep in touch to this day. I used to log in from time to time but since the data breach happened i let my account get lost and let all my memories connected to the game get sealed in. :)

Watching this video is bringing back so many memories, it hurts lol. 2015-2018 was the golden age in animal jam for me. Thank you for making this video :)
i can't believe i used to write animal jam creepypastas completely seriously at age 10
Duuuude I remember the monthly pets, I remember getting the pet owl in a jam-a-gram during either January or February and that was pure bliss for my child self omg
It amazes me how much of the iceberg I already knew about. It really goes to show how deep in the lore I am... as well as how long I've been playing.
Headresses were removed for cultural appropriation, at least thats what AJHQ told me when I tried to ask for a headdress when I got hacked years ago around the time they removed them. My theory, based on the fact they've removed items before in their entirety (see skullies, which btw I'm shocked they weren't on the iceberg, same with the beta animal jam site and how hyped it was seeing it on the wayback machine) is that they knew they had to keep headdresses in the game to manipulate the rarity system like said previously, and also knew a lot of people would be sad seeing headdresses gone considering they are the most if not second most popular item in the game.
dude i literally got my family's physical address stolen in the data breach :')
found out i wasnt straight bc of wisteriamoon when i was like 6
Man i wish i was a kid again. I came back for nostalgic reasons 😂 but man i hope this game continues to thrive for many generations to come. Maybe one day theyll perfect it.
omg this brings me back
i remember watching julian2s hacker videos n glitches and watching the creepypastas
i would be so scared LOL
i miss animal jam and what it used to be
anyways i was puplove2000... just putting that out there incase anyone knows me haha
10:18 my dumbass thought that said Jerma not Jenna and I was ready for some Jerma lore, but alas, nothing.
Sans!!
I could’ve missed him mentioning this, so please tell me if I’m wrong. But wasnt there a use known as the “Lost Jammer”? Not sure what his IGN is, but his name was always “awesome sunny brave” supposed to be a hacker or something.
the lost jammer is, as far as i can remember, a fanfiction creepypasta somebody made based off animal jam. awesome sunnybrave was the name of the animal jam fman122 used. think you may be getting your streams crossed there lol
I remember when alphas were called Shamans. They changed it due to the word having a religious connotation and this made many users mad back in the day.
I saw the name club gioz and "breaking the ice/bridge" and immediately became absolutely flooded with memories oh my god. I can already tell I'm gonna be flooded with nostalgia, I've played the game for 9 years-
I remember that people would roleplay a lot in the game. Especially in the foresty area of the game. That was a strange time.
i haven't played for a while and in december of 2020 ig, i decided to play aj and DAMN
there's a lot of stuff. idk what happened to aj but i remember the creppypastas and etc like the lost jammer creppypsta (and i remember making a fake account of lost jammer, and then using my original account to say to everyone that the lost jammer was in my den lol)
Quackity's raid annoyed me so much! I remember seeing a ton of yellow penguins in Jamaa ranting and garbage and I remember getting super mad :')
I personally thought the raids and stuff made the game more memorable and also pretty funny.
I was in the community during the raid and actually made an alt to participate lol
Funny thing is that I've been watching the MCYT Quackity (present quackity) so much without realizing he was the same quackity that started all of those raids back then.
I remember that, except for the fact I had no idea who Quackity was and was soooo confused the entire time lmaoooo.
I had no idea who was doing that but i just thought it was fun :'D
I remember when animal jam first came out and I would play it almost everyday, all day
personally i really would hope that they were removing the headdresses due to cultural appropriation but the head feathers definitely don't help. as an indigenous person it's.......a lot
same. and they know damn well it aint natives wearing those headdresses 😭 theyre just using it as a fashion piece and its irritating
@@randomacct.1723 yep!!!
@@randomacct.1723 its a war bonnet
I didn't see anything on the Untitled Room- do you know if that's still considered somewhat relevant in Animal Jam's history?
most players probably don't know about it, but it has a short page on the AJ wiki if you're looking for more info.
Maybe, can you tell me about it
I recently started watching your channel and I love your videos! Also this was a great video I found out some things I didn't know about
amazing video!! i love to see my childhood game and iceberg videos combined! keep up the good work man :)
Glad you enjoyed!
I can't be the only one that misses old AJ
Me too
I miss it too 😭
i remember just about all of these so well, i used to be an editor for the aj wiki, thank u for this 😆
Damn, Geo got removed? Shucks, I liked that place.. A nice little escape that had the occasional fiasco to attend. Guess I'll appreciate that I could enjoy it while it was still there.
I remember when, I think, the snow leopard came out(?) and my cousin was one of the first people to get because people were swarming him. One kid even asked if he was an admin.
i miss playing animal jam so much, i miss the joy it used to bring me this game used to be my life at some point
BRO THESE SONGS ARE PUTTING OFF MY FIGHT OR FLIGHT REFLEX
im from australia and yes the old gift cards you could buy would come with a free kangaroo!
Unless it wasn't made before this video
the feral cover-up one was most likely a reference of the cinder nft game
this was made before the Cinder NFT project was created but I imagine that theory would go on an iceberg of Feral!
@@Kekful ahhh alright! Shocked I didn't know about prior cover up stories for feral before haha.
Very good video btw even if its one of your older ones, still stands up quiet nicely :)
Thanks for the video Kek, this was my favorite so far! I love iceberg videos and it was so interesting with you explaining it, have an amazing day everyone! :DD
this game gives me nostalgia god i remmeber playing this so long ago in like 2015
Does anyone remember the secret light blue that was inbetween the purple and white in the bottom left corner???
WAIT I REMEMBER TGAT
I remember playing this game and getting free membership for no reason and i was genuinely surprised when i found when i asked my mom she said she didn't buy it
This si my first video I seen from you but I actually enjoyed it alot so I'ma sub
I remember the Ostritch / Sloth/ Falcon poll! It's a shame Ostriches never have out
hey i wanna add onto the zero thing! i got in contact with them 7 years ago and they told me that it was all false and that tombstone was added for a friend of theirs that passed away for reasons that they won't list.
Does anyone remember the Little Tiger Wildworks pasted over different parts of a couple land concepts in one of the guidebooks?
It creeped me out so much as a kid-
6:47 The way that phantom moves 💀
I miss enjoying this game as a kid. It made up almost the entirety of my childhood. Now as an adult it's just a hot mess of nostalgia and the incapability to enjoy a game I once loved.
This was a really great video :D
When UA-cam sends you the notification *5 days* late
I started playing ajpw about the time when tigers were released, (a long time ago.) i loved the game. It’s so different from then and now. It’s so much like og aj and it’s full of toxic players, I quit a while back.
Yeah, it's very toxic now. i have many unpleasant memories of the game
mm I love these iceberg videos that people make of games. all of your videos are very interesting, I look forward to watching them although I don't play animal jam anymore :]
the nostalgia I felt while watching this tho
Just a note to you guys, Peck has been spotted in animal jam, mobile. I have not seen her but a hacker got her model and played on it in a UA-cam video before.
