@@Cuevamus She was doing something with twistedwolf. I will leave that something unnamed as they would like. Animal jam banned her for a few days as a warning. But she is now no longer online because she quit.
AJ has definitely gone down hill over the past few years… honestly it’s sad to see the company become money hungry and the continuous trash updates. I’m not sure how much longer I wanna stick to this game, it’s been my whole childhood but honestly I think I might leave sooner or later. It’s just not exciting like how it used to be, AJ just keeps reusing ideas and/or making horrible new ideas.
Yeah. It was part of my childhood. I quit AJ content because, well, there isn't much to post about it, unless it's negative. Sure, I could make update vids, but by time I do that, some other popular person had already posted about it and people would get annoyed. They are just getting super money hungry and don't even listen to their community. I understand that the majority of the community are kids and may not have the best feedback, but AJ should really start listening to the community rather than chasing the money.
Yeah I quit like 3 times and came back. I got hacked twice, (PLEASE NEVER AGAIN) dealt with 4 scammers, 2 people were just really extremely rude, and luckily I have ran into none inappropriate people. Probably because I am mostly in my den, but yeah..
O yeah, it was a part of my childhood too, of everyone was but now.. Aj is going crazy with money. I dont know who is the new holder of wildworks and aj but if i met them, i'd slap them for destroying,cursing,damaging our *old lovely game*...
I know this has nothing to do with Animal Jam itself, but I still can't believe Wildworks, who made AJ for kids to teach them about the environment and seemed so close to their community in the past, sacrificed their older fans by making a blockchain NFT game. If "environment awareness mostly free kids virtual world" to "NFTs priced at thousands of dollars just to play in a glorified chatroom" doesn't scream fall from grace I don't know what does
Aj is treating their game like a discord server honestly, some people get banned for no reason and others get away with everything under the sun, people getting scammed while trying to get a colorful dinosaur, if you say something slightly critical of them you get chat restricted, and if you don't pay money you're treated worse by the community itself. Some days i really wonder if ajhq is just a bunch of discord mods trying to run a kids game
I got moderated to bubble chat for saying my UA-cam channel, cause we were doing a vid and they wanted to watch it, I asked them if they wanted their users edited out, I obliged to anyone who did, I got mediated to bubble chat only for 24 hours. I have seen people advertising their UA-cam and instagram in an mp. An Mp that has to be approved by ajhq! It is so unfair-
animal jam is definitely unprofessional, they have scammed me out of 30 dollars and i never got a refund or what i bought. my friend was scammed out of 50 dollars and whenever they contact AJHQ, the say something like animal's jams privacy policies yet it's not really about privacy, it's about money. The message i got when sending an email was sorry to hear that jammer! stay safe and i got suspended for 7 days. So, they basically were silencing me speaking out.
AYYY, same! Kept saying my purchase was fraudulent, didn’t go through. It went through, and after multiple attempts, boom 73 dollars gone from my account
I bought membership today but it didn’t give me the perks and stuff and when I tried to buy it again it says purchase failed, it also took the money now im scared to contact them after reading your comment
Honestly, this is kind of why I stopped playing animal jam a ton. I didn’t want to spend my money on membership, and getting sapphires was always super tedious. And do I even have to mention how money hungry wild works is? So I pretty much have stopped playing it altogether.
I never spent a penny to a game especially animal jam, but i just lost interest in it plus i see very paranormal things when im in so, the animal jam population's gonna die soon i guess...
@@StarDustCluster I used to play it a ton when I was younger and my parents paid for my membership, but eventually I just stopped, and when I got back on I was much more responsible about spending my money and didn’t want to spend anything on a membership that I most likely wouldn’t even use that much, so I tried farming for sapphires and that was so tiring, so in that regards, I agree with you. (Except for the paranormal stuff part, I’ve never experienced anything like that as far as I can remember.)
literally, i don't think i'll ever stop being upset about what happened with feral! it was such a good game, with a great world and a great soundtrack. it had a good playerbase too, and then wildworks went up and shut it down. i'm furious!
@@sofiaaaaaa356 They shut down Feral for a copy of it that was blockchain-based (basically, an NFT version of the game) and were very inconsiderate to Feral's players about it. There are videos about it that describe the situation better than I could though
My dad actually threatened to sue the company a few years back, he complained afterwards that the company was one of the most unprofessional companies he’s ever talked to.
I will never forget like,maybe in like 2017, I wanted membership, so my mom bought the membership for my birthday, and Wildworks took the money, but never gave me my membership
@@deathbyschool yeah the story I’m talking about is my sister lost her animal jam account Bc we forgot the password and the company was just being an absolute asshole.
More reasons to sue the company to oblivion Number 1: they are scammers Number 2: they allow people who love children in weird ways to be in the game Number 3: low safety And number 4:it used to be better now its a money hungry company that is corrupted by greed
It is a shame that a game that we played as kids is getting money hungry and becoming a field of педоs and has lost care for its player base. I remember a different Wildworks.
@@candicraveingcloude2822 life is far more different than one cool phrase like that one, it has nothing to do with AJ, Games can still be good with Good people Good ideas Good community and ETC, No one will become a "Villain" by time's fault, We choose to become the villain if we want to
@@spiritwolf9582 Call people "cringe" And you'll end up being the cringe one. everyone has it's own life, way of thinking and seeing things, If my comment was "extremely cringe to read" The problem isn't with me, you have a reason to be annoyed by what i wrote, But i don't care, even if i don't know you, i care about you and if u were having a bad day i hope things gets better for u, But you should think twice before calling anyone cringe, Why would you want to hurt others because they have a different perspection from you? That's the real cringe
AJ's slowly lost its magic for me ever since Feral kicked the bucket, I miss the idea of a fantasy RPG so much I made a fox dressed like a witch and traded alot of random stuff for that look. It took forever but it looked nice at least. Though i just- dont play it as much as I used to.
@@mimaaellian2678 i played AJPW way more from how free and less limited it felt Until it got popular and wildworks moved the monetization there progressively.
11:55 This has been a huge problem for my family, where Animal jam just kept taking money from my Dad's account. We tried to contact them, cancel the subscription, and even delete the account tied to it but it didn't work. It eventually worked after calling the company, but even then our money was lost since they were so greedy.
I remember a few months ago begging them to add a feature of having double pets, i said for them to charge 15 to 50 sapphs for an extra pet slot and make it for *NON MEMBERS* smh i hate how they twisted it to make the update for mainly members
@@hey5929 Hey! Look on the brightside! Atleast they added german shepherds! When they came out, i fell in love, and now its my main! (3 I do agree the other dog came out kinda uhh, yucky WAHAHA
That data breach really screwed me over and I've hated Animal Jam and the company ever since. I had taken a break from the game and the community when it happened and had only heard about it a few months later when getting back into the game, but I was already too late. I had been hacked and all my good items and all my pets were taken. I'm still extremely upset even after all this time because I had really loved those items and the characters I've made but now I can't think or even look at the game the same way again. I hope whoever has my stuff is happy now (/s).
I feel your pain. I had taken a break from the game too, but when i came back, my email got hacked and people was using it to create Netflix accounts and more. I already changed the password (and it's kinda funny seeing people trying to enter in my account again), and deleted my main account in the game. Sadly, my second account never got deleted from the game, and i still don't know why they don't end it already. But this case made me hate the company a lot. I wasn't very happy with the current situation of the game, and this data breach made me less happy with them.
That happened with me too dude, I just can’t stand even entering the game again after all my progress, items and everything I had in the game just… vanished… and that happened with my friend too, she had to create another account and she lost EVERYTHING. Every. Item. She. Got. WAS GONE. And aj never did anything about that… plus they also banned me one entire day only for saying “:D”
@@LycanLamb i tought the random ban happened only with me?? One day i got banned for 2 hours only because i said "i am happy" or something like that, like, what the hell??
Same thing happened to me! My aj account was so old I used a completely different email so when I tried to get it back.. yeah whole childhood down the drain 😭
I agree its turing into pay-to-play Their community is also bad and toxic and they to fix it by blocking and suspending people but in the end it suspends the wrong ppl- i was talking to my friend 5 mins ago and said i needed her help on a vid- AJ SUSPENDED ME FOR INAPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR WHAT THE- They don't even know how to run their game anymore- No wonder ppl are quitting! Tysm for bringing awareness Leamon!
it's not pay-to-play, it's much worse. It has some of the most predatory marketing I've seen (sadly the case with a lot of mobile kid;s games) and I mostly play *gacha games.*
I must admit, the "free" box thing bothers me a bit! The worst thing about it is that I keep accidentally clicking on it, as it keeps flashing and popping up. It's like AJ has ads now 😭
I have quit Animal jam in 2020 but I still come here from time to time. It's so sad to see how the game that I once couldn't get enough of has turned into this.
Dude, I’m literally so tired of the fact that they are selling so many things for real money, it’s so annoying especially since some of the real money bought items seem so unnecessary.
Honestly this entire situation is just so bad that I'm sitting here just laughing at the company and myself for playing the game as a child. Ain't even sad anymore, just laughing at the miserable failure they've become.
NGL another thing thats pretty unprofessional was the person who made the floppy bunny ears hat didn't get credited until maybe a week later-... i also met them and they told us they never even got a rare tagged variant like all the other jammers did who made items. They did end up getting a rare tagged golden egg though.. They just wish they had gotten rare tag for the memory of it, but they do also appreciate that its in the game and people love it! I just feel bad for them ❤☹️
My original reason for my official swap to play wild from ajc was bc of the lack of memebership system. It was nice to feel equal to other players and to gets nice features in the game without paying money, however as time went on the membership aspect grew and I was constantly buying it even with real money. However now I barley play anymore so don’t bother to buy it. But also I feel demotivated to every play when I get on due to the vast amount of features u lack without membership
4:00 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS UP!!! i’m usually very excited for when there’s a new animal, but there’s been all these reskins lately and it’s bugging me a lot. it feels a bit like a scam because it’s just the same thing but just with a representation of that season. i swear, december is gonna be an arctic fox reskin.
i really miss old aj :( it'll never be the same with the fun role plays, trading systems that i actually understood, and making good friends with people who i would play with daily. i'll never forget coming home after a long day of school, and procrastinating finishing my homework on animal jam :,)
Unfortunately Animal Jam is getting more money hungry. I'm afraid that in the future they're going to add "exclusive animals" that you can be but it will cost real money. Also there for sure are still predators roaming around the game. Just the other day I encountered one. I checked the account and it's still up! 😠
Nowadays wildworks is caring mostly on money than the actuall safety of the game, i remember when i entered it, it was normal, until i entered, i don't pretend to quit because this is one of the first ever community i entered, so yeah Stay safe 🐱
@@CakeIsNotALie Yeah, I think animal jam's mindset is: "If we ban people we will get less money" unfortunately they're so desperate they don't want to lose players
Y'all f2p players get way too much. I say remove sapphire membership and add a paywall alltogether since y'all f2p players have no right to complain about anything when you don't pay for the game 🙂
fr, i bought 200 sapphires once and they scammed me. i never go the 200 and i contacted them, they never gave it but this was a year ago so idk if this happened to anyone else or not. i hope it hasn’t tho! love the videos as always leamon❤
When I saw the autumn coyote for the first time it was the second pattern animal came in a row. If animal jam did another pattern animal in December I’m sick of having pattern animals. Today on animal jams instagram I saw the next animal isn’t a pattern animal which I’m happy about it.
I just saw that post after making/ posting this video glad I said I didn’t want to bash them too much on that one because yeah like they are bringing a new animal probably
I quit like a year ago, got rid of rarer items within the same month. I'll always remember the AJ I started played in 2014/2015 and all the friends and adventures I had. Both the game and community actually helped and inspired me to draw more than just mlp, legit don't think I'd be here without it XD I was the last of my IRL friend group to quit (not counting my younger sister who randomly plays PW), I really hoped something would come up, new updates, new anything but no AJ was just left in the shadow of play wild.. I really miss having fun with random ppl and going on adventures to get rares, hosting fashion shows and pet sales, decorating my den and making a map out of it, adding to my collection of +200 animal characters, hosting art cons with aj prizes... can only hope another game like it gets made cuz I am not going back anymore. Anyone can make a game or a game studio, doesn't take much other than money and hiring people. I wouldn't say AJ is unprofessional, but it's far from respected and transparent. The amount of bad things that happened in the last 2-3 years really just keeps getting bigger and worse. Basically people, pack your bags, invest your items into something worth more like art and lock your accounts. I myself got sick of the neglect and direction WW was heading.. I would love for the games to become alive and popular again, get better and have as much new updates and content as they used to when I started playing, really I hope that happens but nobody knows how this will go, seems pretty negative but guess we'll have to see. I've considered before quitting to open a new account and play from scratch, which is a fun idea to try if you still didn't give up on the game. But hey if you still log on to the original AJ, visit TheSpinnyVillage. I made it when Tiki Trouble came out which became my fav seasonal adventure.. +Julian2 fans loved to play in it.. I swear if I ever get to a point to be able to afford to make a multiplayer game I'll do one similar to AJ
Rewatching this, when you mention re- skins I immediately remember that the Light side and Dark side Arctic Wolves that came out THIS October ( 2023 obviously) 😮 at first I didn’t care for them, then I saw many other people with them and then I bought them, my brother bought the Darkside one only I bought both! Also I love your content! Keep it up!
I have been playing animal jam since I was 10, so about 6 years, and I still play regularly. I had come across an issue while submitting a masterpiece and emailed ajhq for help. They asked for me to go to a sketchy website and screenshot my ip address and send it to them before they answered my question. I work as an ethical hacker and know all the things that can be done with an ip address, so I refused to send it. But it worries me that ajhq is asking kids to go to sketchy websites to send their ip address to them, it is very unprofessional and ngl, scary to think this is where the game is going.
Damn, I used to play this game a ton up until mid 2018. I seriously considered looking back, but... yeesh. This almost perfectly fits the saying "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
my masterpiece got declined because i mentioned the word „enby „ and wrote my aj ocs name in chinese characters which are very important to their culture and i even messaged aj it doesnt say anything bad i wrote onto the mp that it is literally just a surname but they refused to help
Animal Jam used to be such a fun game to play. Now the company has gotten so greedy by being money hungry, I don't blame people for quitting. It's clear to see Wildworks doesn't care about their players anymore, especially if they're STILL allowing predators like hyenine1 or straycat2 in the game, but suspend/silence victims. I still play Aj from time to time (mostly to play TFD, I have a system where I do a chore in real life, then play a couple rounds of TFD, etc. I know it's dumb, but ehhh.) but I'm no longer invested in it. Don't get me started on the so called 'updates' they release, only to be the same thing every year, it's gotten to be boring. Not only that, I feel as though I've gotten too old to play it nowadays. :') Great video as always, Leamon!
I stopped playing this game, after I could not recover my account because I found out they deleted accounts that have not been touched for even a year. Which sucked because I did spend money on this game, and wanted to play it more often but due to life reasons, I couldn't play it everyday and ended up dying from it (I don't know if it is true or not that they do delete accounts that have been inactive for a year). Though after this, I'm kind of glad I stopped at this point.
There was a data breach not long ago twice so that’s probably why, you would have to change the account password if you can or you won’t be able to log back in
When I played Animal Jam, I tried cancelling my membership, it said it was cancelled, but continued to charge for it monthly. I did still get the membership perks but it took calling AJHQ for them to actually cancel it. (I tried cancelling it MANY times before, it always said that it was already cancelled) I’m not sure if this is helpful or not but this was just my experience 😅
lesser known fact. issues from the data breach are still occurring, usernames and passwords are still being leaked and there's a weird "black market" around getting and selling them. there's entire communities dedicated to it and it's highly disturbing as they empty recent accounts of all their items, pets, and saphs source- accidentally joined a disc server for it when hunting for a normal ajpw one. it had roughly 400 members and while I was there I got screenshots n such of their activities. I did report them but I never got any reply from ajhq
And, if you want more saps, all you have to do to purchase them is to do a Touch ID on a phone! That makes it way too easy for a kid to accidentally, or intensionally take advantage of their parent's money for sapphires.
Dang. With tbat last one, now I'm hesitant to ever attach a credit card to my account. Also regarding Hyenine, I'm surprised they also approve the artworks from him that seem like borderline fetish art, yet innocent artworks and one I made for a "Pan-duh" pun get denied.
I was done with this company the moment they scammed my money technically with Feral. I also invested into Animal Jam classic until they decided to make Play Wild and update it more. I was tired of putting my money down a hole, so I quit.
I agree on the “free” advertising is bad, especially that animal jam is market towards children. I don’t play it anymore, but a lot of kids might think it’s free and accidentally spend money on it. It’s not too good. :/
With the reskinned animals I wish they had brought the spooky snow leopard instead of the arctic wolf. If you can’t tell my favorite reskinned animal in ajc is the spooky snow leopard :3.
Sadly this was me in the video. Still no money unfortunately, I am the one who sent the info in on the situation to Leamon, props to Leamon for making people more aware 👏
It is technically a FREE super box because the other past 2 super boxes didn't give out a FREE super box for members who bought membership. they didn't have to give a FREE super box to people who support their game by buying membership, but they did anyway and that is that
I love your art! And yeah, Animal Jam is money hungry and running out of new animals. This might be a reason why it’s been going downhill. They also haven’t been giving the best to classic. It’s really been a bad era for Animal Jam, the 2020s have other than the good features they added without sapphires like packs for everyone. Also, this is kinda off topic, but Roblox had problems like this like being said that it’s been getting hacked so many times this month. It’s either me being confused, or it’s been getting hacked so much after even being said that they will be having a hacker check thingy soon. By the way I have fanart for you! -Aristocatkitten
i agree to this maybe not everything is free since you would need funding maybe just a form of membership where you gain nothing but supporting the game
I haven’t played animal jam play wild in such a long time but fr ajhq isn’t helping anyone like hackers scammers and groomers or something they aren’t doing anything! Ty for making these videos to inform everyone 👍✨
I completely agree with this! Sucks that AJ is getting more money hungry and adding more boring stuff. I feel like AJ is becoming like AJ Classic in some way. Also, I love how you use Kirby soundtrack in most of your videos XD I love Kirby haha
my account got hacked during that whole data breach thing, i lost all the rares i spent collecting througout my childhood all the way to high school. since im an adult and never really played besides logging on every once in awhile for nostalgia, it wasnt a huge deal for me. but it was still upsetting to see that their company let that happen and gave little to no sympathy or compensation to those effected by what happened. i cant even imagine how i would react if this happened to me when i was younger and still religiously played this game.
I'm a 2012 AJ veteran and I stopped playing the game regularly in 2016. It's sad to see the game going down this road, at this point the game is on its deathbed and has been for years
I remember playing AJ when I was younger, then I got back into it a few years back during the pandemic. I stopped playing after the breach of October 2020. Info belonging to me and my parents were leaked. (Thankfully nothing happened to us) Not only that, but it began to get pretty boring even before the breach. I didn't know about it until I got the email.
And the fact that they made the sapphire membership higher just makes me mad. I have to take days to get sapphires just to be able to sell my stuff for the price I need and wear items I like.
Someone in my pack had bought the membership but they actually were not given membership and had lost their money. I know this because they said what happened in pack chat asking what had happened and why they don’t have the membership, I told them it may be a glitch and try to reset but every few days I would check their account to see if they have membership but every time I check they don’t. Honestly I feel very bad for them, I hope they don’t loose their money every month too because they bought it and that this doesn’t happen to anyone else when they buy membership. 😢
I agree Animal jam is very unprofessional just last week i was hanging out with my buddies in the pillow room and some new jammers started hitting on us, and 2 weeks before that i was getting hacked consistently after getting new items and they took my acc from my email and i couldn't do anything about it, then yesterday my gold flaming jack-o'-latern tail from an outfit i was wearing got hacked. I believe they indeed need to rank up their security.
I LOVED animal jam, and played it for YEARS but after the recent updates I hate the game. . . I always bought the sapphire bundles but then they changed the number of sapphires and upped the price. . . And my account lost a lot of good items from trading (not their fault) but that’s one thing. I’ve bought memberships and NEVER got them. . . I spent MY money for it and it was really annoying. They really need to fix it. | also leamon said d4mn in the video 🤣
Bro this game was my childhood haven’t played in years and I checked out this vid out of morbid curiosity. I knew thing’s probably went down hill so I’m ready to confront the death of my childhood.
I still remember I got bamboozled by Animal Jam. They said my drawing is going to the hall of masterpieces but I didn't even see it, even if I checked days later it's still not there. Broke my childhood heart >:(
Hey! I don’t play animal jam anymore or watch much about it but this video caught my eye so I gave it a watch. Just wanted to say that maybe take a second or two to give a little bit of background on some things that a new viewer might be unfamiliar with. For example you mentioned the eggs and that AJ scammed people but I couldn’t understand how they scammed people because I don’t have the context. You mentioned that people didn’t get the eggs towards the end of that section but I think more background would be nice so new viewers can have better understanding of what’s going on. Great video otherwise, lovely art, keep it up!
4:33 true, If they bring another one his month it’s gonna be VERY disappointed, they are just releasing re skins from aj classic, if they wanna bring any aj classic animal I just hope it’s the pig, they should release a pig tbh. About membership problem, I just hope ajpw doesn’t turn into a pay to win game like classic, literally u can’t do anything if ur a non member on aj classic lmao
12:44 THAT HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL they kept getting my money three times when I already buy some sapphires I had to lock my card due to the double paid 😔😔
I played this game all the time when I was younger and one thing that happened to me was after I had stopped playing (My mom then canceled the membership) it kept taking money from my mom's account even after she canceled the subscription.
if they make a super box with an animal I am gonna lose my mind and be sad. It depend if people like the animal or not. I hope what I say does not happen.
12:51 Years ago, when I was like 5 or 6 playing aj classic, it just wouldn’t cancel my membership. My mom had to contact support with visa or something like that in order for them to stop charging her. This was in like 2015~2016~2017 ish. Cant really remember-
For some reason this video popped up on my UA-cam recommended lol I started playing in 2011 and quit around 2016. So I haven’t watched any AJ videos in a long time 😂 I found this video quite interesting. I’m surprised to see that WildWorks was sold. I wonder what will happen to AJ going forward
The company used to care about the quality of the game and the happiness of the players. Now all they care about is money. They are careless and unprofessional, which is the reason I have (unofficially) mostly quit the game and uploading videos from the game.
My best friend purchased membership about a week ago and never received it, but the money was still taken out of her bank account - at least that's what she told me. At this point, I'm kind of worried about having a recurring membership on my account, especially since it's not my money 😅
I remember when I used to play it, I loved playing it mainly the beach puzzle mini game. But I remember never making friends because I never payed for anything in it.
Im a bit late and I apologize but I wanted to make a comment anyways. I don’t rlly have much to say. I quit animal jam for all these reasons because while the game was slowly going downhill for a while now it’s just dangerous, money hungry and toxic. Some people in the community are actually nice people and it brings me bittersweet nostalgia scrolling through the comment section to find all my old friends here from when I was a content creator for the platform. The majority of the community though has just been completely ruined by hackers, scammers and (ugh) pr3d@tors-. Idk what ajhq is doing but they need to stop…even though I’m no longer a part of this community and never want to be in it again, this still makes me mad and doesn’t change the fact I believe strongly that something must be done. Thanks if you read this far, here’s a cookie 🍪 -Yours Truly, CashoAJ.
I stopped playing the games from Wildworks a couple years ago when the Fer.Al situation happened. I may still go on ajpw sometime soon, but I’m really scared to LOL
The fandom needs a new one tbh Called Fauna haven or something Where the game takes place in a a huge magical forest with volcano,mountains etc and why the forest is so huge and have things an actual forest don’t have is explained in story mode!
Fr aj “classic” hasn’t gotten any updates in years, and I remember as a kid like four-six years ago complaining about the company but look at it now haha. Imo it went downhill after they broke up with Nat Geo, they got so much publicity from them and I think merchandise soon (also it’s funny seeing the reskin seasonal design and membership controversy popping up in PW) but feral had so much potential and was so fun and I’m still pissed about it
I had payed for a 1 month membership and then never received it I got my membership when the next Months payment came out. This was tat the beginning of nazeras take over but it still feels in professional

They are just getting super money hungry and don't even listen to their community.
I understand that the majority of the community are kids and may not have the best feedback, but AJ should really start listening to the community rather than chasing the money.
Yeah I quit like 3 times and came back. I got hacked twice, (PLEASE NEVER AGAIN) dealt with 4 scammers, 2 people were just really extremely rude, and luckily I have ran into none inappropriate people. Probably because I am mostly in my den, but yeah..
You don’t say
O yeah, it was a part of my childhood too, of everyone was but now..
Aj is going crazy with money. I dont know who is the new holder of wildworks and aj but if i met them, i'd slap them for destroying,cursing,damaging our *old lovely game*...
Well said. I haven’t been uploading anymore because it just isnt fun at this point.
I know this has nothing to do with Animal Jam itself, but I still can't believe Wildworks, who made AJ for kids to teach them about the environment and seemed so close to their community in the past, sacrificed their older fans by making a blockchain NFT game. If "environment awareness mostly free kids virtual world" to "NFTs priced at thousands of dollars just to play in a glorified chatroom" doesn't scream fall from grace I don't know what does
Ajhq trys to make the game educational but servers be like RP RP RP ADOPT MEEEEEEE
They are just getting greedy for money, and did you know that ajpw was partners with national geographic but then they left
Yeah…
Yep. They are really getting money hungry. The poor kids that don't have money to buy the new stuff :(
😭
Ikr!
Hi tainted, I completely agree
Hi Tainted! Sadly that’s true.
Honestly when is animal jam never being money hungry
Aj is treating their game like a discord server honestly, some people get banned for no reason and others get away with everything under the sun, people getting scammed while trying to get a colorful dinosaur, if you say something slightly critical of them you get chat restricted, and if you don't pay money you're treated worse by the community itself. Some days i really wonder if ajhq is just a bunch of discord mods trying to run a kids game
That’s a good comparison tbh. Amen.
As a discord mod
I agree
that sounds accurate
lmao
I got moderated to bubble chat for saying my UA-cam channel, cause we were doing a vid and they wanted to watch it,
I asked them if they wanted their users edited out, I obliged to anyone who did,
I got mediated to bubble chat only for 24 hours.
I have seen people advertising their UA-cam and instagram in an mp.
An Mp that has to be approved by ajhq!
It is so unfair-
animal jam is definitely unprofessional, they have scammed me out of 30 dollars and i never got a refund or what i bought. my friend was scammed out of 50 dollars and whenever they contact AJHQ, the say something like animal's jams privacy policies yet it's not really about privacy, it's about money. The message i got when sending an email was sorry to hear that jammer! stay safe and i got suspended for 7 days. So, they basically were silencing me speaking out.
That’s nasty, never heard of that happening before 😳
AYYY, same! Kept saying my purchase was fraudulent, didn’t go through.
It went through, and after multiple attempts, boom 73 dollars gone from my account
Same here, but its was $95
Dude cuz i swear my animal jam membership renewed today and my $56 in my bank acc was reduced to $6???
I bought membership today but it didn’t give me the perks and stuff and when I tried to buy it again it says purchase failed, it also took the money now im scared to contact them after reading your comment
Honestly, this is kind of why I stopped playing animal jam a ton. I didn’t want to spend my money on membership, and getting sapphires was always super tedious. And do I even have to mention how money hungry wild works is? So I pretty much have stopped playing it altogether.
I quit two years ago because it got boring
I never spent a penny to a game especially animal jam, but i just lost interest in it plus i see very paranormal things when im in so, the animal jam population's gonna die soon i guess...
@@kitkatyas ikr
@@totally_normal0 same,it sucks
@@StarDustCluster I used to play it a ton when I was younger and my parents paid for my membership, but eventually I just stopped, and when I got back on I was much more responsible about spending my money and didn’t want to spend anything on a membership that I most likely wouldn’t even use that much, so I tried farming for sapphires and that was so tiring, so in that regards, I agree with you. (Except for the paranormal stuff part, I’ve never experienced anything like that as far as I can remember.)
I honestly feel like Animal Jam is on life support at this point
That made me laugh. Thank you.
@@waddledee6642 oh you're welcome :D
I lost all respect and trust for Wildworks after what happened with Feral…
literally, i don't think i'll ever stop being upset about what happened with feral! it was such a good game, with a great world and a great soundtrack. it had a good playerbase too, and then wildworks went up and shut it down. i'm furious!
What happened?
@@sofiaaaaaa356 They shut down Feral for a copy of it that was blockchain-based (basically, an NFT version of the game) and were very inconsiderate to Feral's players about it. There are videos about it that describe the situation better than I could though

My dad actually threatened to sue the company a few years back, he complained afterwards that the company was one of the most unprofessional companies he’s ever talked to.
I will never forget like,maybe in like 2017, I wanted membership, so my mom bought the membership for my birthday, and Wildworks took the money, but never gave me my membership
@@deathbyschool yeah the story I’m talking about is my sister lost her animal jam account Bc we forgot the password and the company was just being an absolute asshole.
More reasons to sue the company to oblivion
Number 1: they are scammers
Number 2: they allow people who love children in weird ways to be in the game
Number 3: low safety
And number 4:it used to be better now its a money hungry company that is corrupted by greed
@@deathbyschoolthat’s so scummy wtf
It is a shame that a game that we played as kids is getting money hungry and becoming a field of педоs and has lost care for its player base. I remember a different Wildworks.
Yeah it’s very sad WildWorks built my child but now….
Well you either die a hero or live long enough to be a villain if you don't die a victim.
@@candicraveingcloude2822 life is far more different than one cool phrase like that one, it has nothing to do with AJ, Games can still be good with Good people Good ideas Good community and ETC, No one will become a "Villain" by time's fault, We choose to become the villain if we want to

AJ's slowly lost its magic for me ever since Feral kicked the bucket, I miss the idea of a fantasy RPG so much I made a fox dressed like a witch and traded alot of random stuff for that look. It took forever but it looked nice at least.
Though i just- dont play it as much as I used to.
Aj classic.stopped being updated the moment ajpw got bigger
@@mimaaellian2678 i played AJPW way more from how free and less limited it felt
Until it got popular and wildworks moved the monetization there progressively.
11:55
This has been a huge problem for my family, where Animal jam just kept taking money from my Dad's account. We tried to contact them, cancel the subscription, and even delete the account tied to it but it didn't work. It eventually worked after calling the company, but even then our money was lost since they were so greedy.
thats horrible! sorry for that happening
I remember a few months ago begging them to add a feature of having double pets, i said for them to charge 15 to 50 sapphs for an extra pet slot and make it for *NON MEMBERS* smh i hate how they twisted it to make the update for mainly members
AJ was sold lmao

yea agree 🙄
That data breach really screwed me over and I've hated Animal Jam and the company ever since. I had taken a break from the game and the community when it happened and had only heard about it a few months later when getting back into the game, but I was already too late. I had been hacked and all my good items and all my pets were taken. I'm still extremely upset even after all this time because I had really loved those items and the characters I've made but now I can't think or even look at the game the same way again. I hope whoever has my stuff is happy now (/s).
I feel your pain. I had taken a break from the game too, but when i came back, my email got hacked and people was using it to create Netflix accounts and more. I already changed the password (and it's kinda funny seeing people trying to enter in my account again), and deleted my main account in the game. Sadly, my second account never got deleted from the game, and i still don't know why they don't end it already.
But this case made me hate the company a lot. I wasn't very happy with the current situation of the game, and this data breach made me less happy with them.
That happened with me too dude, I just can’t stand even entering the game again after all my progress, items and everything I had in the game just… vanished… and that happened with my friend too, she had to create another account and she lost EVERYTHING. Every. Item. She. Got. WAS GONE. And aj never did anything about that… plus they also banned me one entire day only for saying “:D”
@@LycanLamb i tought the random ban happened only with me?? One day i got banned for 2 hours only because i said "i am happy" or something like that, like, what the hell??
Same thing happened to me! My aj account was so old I used a completely different email so when I tried to get it back.. yeah whole childhood down the drain 😭
I agree its turing into pay-to-play
Their community is also bad and toxic and they to fix it by blocking and suspending people but in the end it suspends the wrong ppl- i was talking to my friend 5 mins ago and said i needed her help on a vid- AJ SUSPENDED ME FOR INAPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR WHAT THE-
They don't even know how to run their game anymore-
No wonder ppl are quitting!
Tysm for bringing awareness Leamon!
i dont think its fair to lump in almost everyone in the community as bad and toxic but i would be lying if i said everyone in it was good
@@BugsyBugYT I never said everyone is-
But they're is a lot of bad in it im not gonna lie
@@awsajpw fair point
Hackers say that usually.
Thats why that happened
it's not pay-to-play, it's much worse. It has some of the most predatory marketing I've seen (sadly the case with a lot of mobile kid;s games) and I mostly play *gacha games.*
I must admit, the "free" box thing bothers me a bit! The worst thing about it is that I keep accidentally clicking on it, as it keeps flashing and popping up. It's like AJ has ads now 😭
I have quit Animal jam in 2020 but I still come here from time to time. It's so sad to see how the game that I once couldn't get enough of has turned into this.
Dude, I’m literally so tired of the fact that they are selling so many things for real money, it’s so annoying especially since some of the real money bought items seem so unnecessary.
Honestly this entire situation is just so bad that I'm sitting here just laughing at the company and myself for playing the game as a child. Ain't even sad anymore, just laughing at the miserable failure they've become.
Yeah, they even SCAMMED jammers
Same, haven’t touched the game since I was 6 and I clicked it and though, oh no… another spiral of death.
NGL another thing thats pretty unprofessional was the person who made the floppy bunny ears hat didn't get credited until maybe a week later-... i also met them and they told us they never even got a rare tagged variant like all the other jammers did who made items. They did end up getting a rare tagged golden egg though.. They just wish they had gotten rare tag for the memory of it, but they do also appreciate that its in the game and people love it! I just feel bad for them ❤☹️
My original reason for my official swap to play wild from ajc was bc of the lack of memebership system. It was nice to feel equal to other players and to gets nice features in the game without paying money, however as time went on the membership aspect grew and I was constantly buying it even with real money. However now I barley play anymore so don’t bother to buy it. But also I feel demotivated to every play when I get on due to the vast amount of features u lack without membership
AJ has changed so much. there company and the game is going down a big down fall. they barely cover any issues when they need to be fixed
4:00 THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS UP!!! i’m usually very excited for when there’s a new animal, but there’s been all these reskins lately and it’s bugging me a lot. it feels a bit like a scam because it’s just the same thing but just with a representation of that season. i swear, december is gonna be an arctic fox reskin.
Nope December's a "slightly better looking" penguin 😭 like ajhq plzzzzz I'm tired of this every one is give us a new animal 😭😭😭😭😭
lol it’s actually a snowflake red panda, they just released it. Horrible
im so glad i grew up with the old aj and ajpw. it was so good back then. i played for hours. now, it's dissapointing
i really miss old aj :( it'll never be the same with the fun role plays, trading systems that i actually understood, and making good friends with people who i would play with daily. i'll never forget coming home after a long day of school, and procrastinating finishing my homework on animal jam :,)
Unfortunately Animal Jam is getting more money hungry. I'm afraid that in the future they're going to add "exclusive animals" that you can be but it will cost real money.
Also there for sure are still predators roaming around the game. Just the other day I encountered one. I checked the account and it's still up! 😠
Nowadays wildworks is caring mostly on money than the actuall safety of the game, i remember when i entered it, it was normal, until i entered, i don't pretend to quit because this is one of the first ever community i entered, so yeah
Stay safe 🐱
@@CakeIsNotALie Yeah, I think animal jam's mindset is: "If we ban people we will get less money" unfortunately they're so desperate they don't want to lose players
@@_Fizzeve_ ye
Watch one the animals be seals, penguins and LITERALLY all the animals that were originally free for non members
Y'all f2p players get way too much. I say remove sapphire membership and add a paywall alltogether since y'all f2p players have no right to complain about anything when you don't pay for the game 🙂
fr, i bought 200 sapphires once and they scammed me. i never go the 200 and i contacted them, they never gave it but this was a year ago so idk if this happened to anyone else or not. i hope it hasn’t tho! love the videos as always leamon❤
wait you buy 200 sapphire and never got it wow
When I saw the autumn coyote for the first time it was the second pattern animal came in a row. If animal jam did another pattern animal in December I’m sick of having pattern animals. Today on animal jams instagram I saw the next animal isn’t a pattern animal which I’m happy about it.
i can't view their instagram for some reason :')
I just saw that post after making/ posting this video glad I said I didn’t want to bash them too much on that one because yeah like they are bringing a new animal probably
yea i know in animal jam classic make Patterned Animals
I still want skull wolf
I quit like a year ago, got rid of rarer items within the same month.
I'll always remember the AJ I started played in 2014/2015 and all the friends and adventures I had.
Both the game and community actually helped and inspired me to draw more than just mlp, legit don't think I'd be here without it XD
I was the last of my IRL friend group to quit (not counting my younger sister who randomly plays PW), I really hoped something would come up, new updates, new anything but no AJ was just left in the shadow of play wild.. I really miss having fun with random ppl and going on adventures to get rares, hosting fashion shows and pet sales, decorating my den and making a map out of it, adding to my collection of +200 animal characters, hosting art cons with aj prizes... can only hope another game like it gets made cuz I am not going back anymore.
Anyone can make a game or a game studio, doesn't take much other than money and hiring people. I wouldn't say AJ is unprofessional, but it's far from respected and transparent. The amount of bad things that happened in the last 2-3 years really just keeps getting bigger and worse.
Basically people, pack your bags, invest your items into something worth more like art and lock your accounts. I myself got sick of the neglect and direction WW was heading.. I would love for the games to become alive and popular again, get better and have as much new updates and content as they used to when I started playing, really I hope that happens but nobody knows how this will go, seems pretty negative but guess we'll have to see.
I've considered before quitting to open a new account and play from scratch, which is a fun idea to try if you still didn't give up on the game. But hey if you still log on to the original AJ, visit TheSpinnyVillage. I made it when Tiki Trouble came out which became my fav seasonal adventure.. +Julian2 fans loved to play in it.. I swear if I ever get to a point to be able to afford to make a multiplayer game I'll do one similar to AJ
"Anyone can make a game or a game studio, doesn't take much other than money and hiring people." Now that's quite untrue, friend.
Sign me up when you do that please
Why is no one talking about the absolutely ADORABLE mlp g5 art Leamon made in this video???
Rewatching this, when you mention re- skins I immediately remember that the Light side and Dark side Arctic Wolves that came out THIS October ( 2023 obviously) 😮 at first I didn’t care for them, then I saw many other people with them and then I bought them, my brother bought the Darkside one only I bought both! Also I love your content! Keep it up!
I have been playing animal jam since I was 10, so about 6 years, and I still play regularly. I had come across an issue while submitting a masterpiece and emailed ajhq for help. They asked for me to go to a sketchy website and screenshot my ip address and send it to them before they answered my question. I work as an ethical hacker and know all the things that can be done with an ip address, so I refused to send it. But it worries me that ajhq is asking kids to go to sketchy websites to send their ip address to them, it is very unprofessional and ngl, scary to think this is where the game is going.
Damn, I used to play this game a ton up until mid 2018. I seriously considered looking back, but... yeesh. This almost perfectly fits the saying "You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Not to mention them declining my masterpieces because I mentioned I have autism!! Yet there is many other pieces saying the same thing!
i cant believe they accept hyenine1's mps but not that :l
my masterpiece got declined because i mentioned the word „enby „ and wrote my aj ocs name in chinese characters which are very important to their culture and i even messaged aj it doesnt say anything bad i wrote onto the mp that it is literally just a surname but they refused to help

To add onto that note: the infamous straycat2x2
Animal Jam used to be such a fun game to play. Now the company has gotten so greedy by being money hungry, I don't blame people for quitting. It's clear to see Wildworks doesn't care about their players anymore, especially if they're STILL allowing predators like hyenine1 or straycat2 in the game, but suspend/silence victims. I still play Aj from time to time (mostly to play TFD, I have a system where I do a chore in real life, then play a couple rounds of TFD, etc. I know it's dumb, but ehhh.) but I'm no longer invested in it. Don't get me started on the so called 'updates' they release, only to be the same thing every year, it's gotten to be boring.
Not only that, I feel as though I've gotten too old to play it nowadays. :') Great video as always, Leamon!
Well I'm 18 but I still play it
Man, remember when AJ stuff was big on youtube? Memories.
“a they’re just adding reskins of the animals that are already in the game”
AJ Classic:
I stopped playing this game, after I could not recover my account because I found out they deleted accounts that have not been touched for even a year. Which sucked because I did spend money on this game, and wanted to play it more often but due to life reasons, I couldn't play it everyday and ended up dying from it (I don't know if it is true or not that they do delete accounts that have been inactive for a year).
Though after this, I'm kind of glad I stopped at this point.
There was a data breach not long ago twice so that’s probably why, you would have to change the account password if you can or you won’t be able to log back in
When I played Animal Jam, I tried cancelling my membership, it said it was cancelled, but continued to charge for it monthly. I did still get the membership perks but it took calling AJHQ for them to actually cancel it. (I tried cancelling it MANY times before, it always said that it was already cancelled) I’m not sure if this is helpful or not but this was just my experience 😅
lesser known fact. issues from the data breach are still occurring, usernames and passwords are still being leaked and there's a weird "black market" around getting and selling them. there's entire communities dedicated to it and it's highly disturbing as they empty recent accounts of all their items, pets, and saphs
source- accidentally joined a disc server for it when hunting for a normal ajpw one. it had roughly 400 members and while I was there I got screenshots n such of their activities. I did report them but I never got any reply from ajhq
Yesss, perfect, Leamon vid while I’m waiting for a bday party
Omg an old comment from me :0
And, if you want more saps, all you have to do to purchase them is to do a Touch ID on a phone! That makes it way too easy for a kid to accidentally, or intensionally take advantage of their parent's money for sapphires.
Always a good day when leamonpuppy posts.
Dang. With tbat last one, now I'm hesitant to ever attach a credit card to my account.
Also regarding Hyenine, I'm surprised they also approve the artworks from him that seem like borderline fetish art, yet innocent artworks and one I made for a "Pan-duh" pun get denied.
I was done with this company the moment they scammed my money technically with Feral. I also invested into Animal Jam classic until they decided to make Play Wild and update it more. I was tired of putting my money down a hole, so I quit.
I agree on the “free” advertising is bad, especially that animal jam is market towards children. I don’t play it anymore, but a lot of kids might think it’s free and accidentally spend money on it. It’s not too good. :/
When I saw it I was like “ Finally something that is free in animal jam” but then I saw that it said membership. I’m losing all faith in this game
Also Leamon pup, i really like you, you inform us of every single update on aj and i really appreciate it, not only me all your subscribers does.🍋🐶⚪️
Your drawing's great. I love how friendly peck looks
With the reskinned animals I wish they had brought the spooky snow leopard instead of the arctic wolf.
If you can’t tell my favorite reskinned animal in ajc is the spooky snow leopard :3.
Sadly this was me in the video. Still no money unfortunately, I am the one who sent the info in on the situation to Leamon, props to Leamon for making people more aware 👏
It is technically a FREE super box because the other past 2 super boxes didn't give out a FREE super box for members who bought membership. they didn't have to give a FREE super box to people who support their game by buying membership, but they did anyway and that is that
I love your art! And yeah, Animal Jam is money hungry and running out of new animals. This might be a reason why it’s been going downhill. They also haven’t been giving the best to classic. It’s really been a bad era for Animal Jam, the 2020s have other than the good features they added without sapphires like packs for everyone. Also, this is kinda off topic, but Roblox had problems like this like being said that it’s been getting hacked so many times this month. It’s either me being confused, or it’s been getting hacked so much after even being said that they will be having a hacker check thingy soon. By the way I have fanart for you! -Aristocatkitten

petition to make a videogame inspired by aj but everything is free, you just need to work for some things
i agree to this maybe not everything is free since you would need funding maybe just a form of membership where you gain nothing but supporting the game
I haven’t played animal jam play wild in such a long time but fr ajhq isn’t helping anyone like hackers scammers and groomers or something they aren’t doing anything! Ty for making these videos to inform everyone 👍✨
I completely agree with this!
Sucks that AJ is getting more money hungry and adding more boring stuff. I feel like AJ is becoming like AJ Classic in some way.
Also, I love how you use Kirby soundtrack in most of your videos XD I love Kirby haha
my account got hacked during that whole data breach thing, i lost all the rares i spent collecting througout my childhood all the way to high school. since im an adult and never really played besides logging on every once in awhile for nostalgia, it wasnt a huge deal for me. but it was still upsetting to see that their company let that happen and gave little to no sympathy or compensation to those effected by what happened. i cant even imagine how i would react if this happened to me when i was younger and still religiously played this game.
I'm a 2012 AJ veteran and I stopped playing the game regularly in 2016. It's sad to see the game going down this road, at this point the game is on its deathbed and has been for years
I think Aj was truly dead since 2019
apparently, the wildworks cashgrab attitude is the reason why I left animal jam.... forever.
4:19 they’ve been doing this for years in classic aj.
I remember playing AJ when I was younger, then I got back into it a few years back during the pandemic. I stopped playing after the breach of October 2020. Info belonging to me and my parents were leaked. (Thankfully nothing happened to us)
Not only that, but it began to get pretty boring even before the breach. I didn't know about it until I got the email.
And the fact that they made the sapphire membership higher just makes me mad. I have to take days to get sapphires just to be able to sell my stuff for the price I need and wear items I like.
Someone in my pack had bought the membership but they actually were not given membership and had lost their money. I know this because they said what happened in pack chat asking what had happened and why they don’t have the membership, I told them it may be a glitch and try to reset but every few days I would check their account to see if they have membership but every time I check they don’t. Honestly I feel very bad for them, I hope they don’t loose their money every month too because they bought it and that this doesn’t happen to anyone else when they buy membership. 😢
I agree Animal jam is very unprofessional just last week i was hanging out with my buddies in the pillow room and some new jammers started hitting on us, and 2 weeks before that i was getting hacked consistently after getting new items and they took my acc from my email and i couldn't do anything about it, then yesterday my gold flaming jack-o'-latern tail from an outfit i was wearing got hacked. I believe they indeed need to rank up their security.
I quit this game years ago, but I enjoyed it. The unprofessionalism of the company is one of the reasons.
i can't believe i used to play this game my entire childhood
Everyone: listening to Leamon
Me: MAHh LItTlEe pOnNeRhHhh 👄👁👄🐴✨
“Animal Jam is an Unprofessional Company”
Yup, nothing new here
I LOVED animal jam, and played it for YEARS but after the recent updates I hate the game. . . I always bought the sapphire bundles but then they changed the number of sapphires and upped the price. . . And my account lost a lot of good items from trading (not their fault) but that’s one thing. I’ve bought memberships and NEVER got them. . . I spent MY money for it and it was really annoying. They really need to fix it. | also leamon said d4mn in the video 🤣
Bro this game was my childhood haven’t played in years and I checked out this vid out of morbid curiosity. I knew thing’s probably went down hill so I’m ready to confront the death of my childhood.
I still remember I got bamboozled by Animal Jam. They said my drawing is going to the hall of masterpieces but I didn't even see it, even if I checked days later it's still not there. Broke my childhood heart >:(
immediately thought of the dinos in ajpw. like it’s literally a gacha, and it’s so expensive.
10:00 OMG I WAS NOT READY FOR THE KIRBY ICE LEVEL MUSIC I AM IN LOVE WITH YOU
Sounds like a low-staff issue. Not enough people to keep up with the myriad of bugs and breaches that can go wrong.
Hey! I don’t play animal jam anymore or watch much about it but this video caught my eye so I gave it a watch. Just wanted to say that maybe take a second or two to give a little bit of background on some things that a new viewer might be unfamiliar with. For example you mentioned the eggs and that AJ scammed people but I couldn’t understand how they scammed people because I don’t have the context. You mentioned that people didn’t get the eggs towards the end of that section but I think more background would be nice so new viewers can have better understanding of what’s going on. Great video otherwise, lovely art, keep it up!
4:33 true, If they bring another one his month it’s gonna be VERY disappointed, they are just releasing re skins from aj classic, if they wanna bring any aj classic animal I just hope it’s the pig, they should release a pig tbh. About membership problem, I just hope ajpw doesn’t turn into a pay to win game like classic, literally u can’t do anything if ur a non member on aj classic lmao
The Autumn coyote made me mad. I always wanted the coyote character and not a coyote covered in leaves 🙄
Fr
12:44 THAT HAPPENED TO ME AS WELL they kept getting my money three times when I already buy some sapphires I had to lock my card due to the double paid 😔😔
The reskins already existed in Animal Jam Classic, it's nothing new
I played this game all the time when I was younger and one thing that happened to me was after I had stopped playing (My mom then canceled the membership) it kept taking money from my mom's account even after she canceled the subscription.
if they make a super box with an animal I am gonna lose my mind and be sad.
It depend if people like the animal or not.
I hope what I say does not happen.
12:51 Years ago, when I was like 5 or 6 playing aj classic, it just wouldn’t cancel my membership. My mom had to contact support with visa or something like that in order for them to stop charging her. This was in like 2015~2016~2017 ish. Cant really remember-
For some reason this video popped up on my UA-cam recommended lol
I started playing in 2011 and quit around 2016. So I haven’t watched any AJ videos in a long time 😂
I found this video quite interesting. I’m surprised to see that WildWorks was sold. I wonder what will happen to AJ going forward
The company used to care about the quality of the game and the happiness of the players. Now all they care about is money. They are careless and unprofessional, which is the reason I have (unofficially) mostly quit the game and uploading videos from the game.
Thx leamonpuppy, we need your realness
Next thing you know the whole games gunna be 20 bucks
My best friend purchased membership about a week ago and never received it, but the money was still taken out of her bank account - at least that's what she told me. At this point, I'm kind of worried about having a recurring membership on my account, especially since it's not my money 😅
I remember when I used to play it, I loved playing it mainly the beach puzzle mini game. But I remember never making friends because I never payed for anything in it.
Im a bit late and I apologize but I wanted to make a comment anyways.
I don’t rlly have much to say. I quit animal jam for all these reasons because while the game was slowly going downhill for a while now it’s just dangerous, money hungry and toxic. Some people in the community are actually nice people and it brings me bittersweet nostalgia scrolling through the comment section to find all my old friends here from when I was a content creator for the platform.
The majority of the community though has just been completely ruined by hackers, scammers and (ugh) pr3d@tors-.
Idk what ajhq is doing but they need to stop…even though I’m no longer a part of this community and never want to be in it again, this still makes me mad and doesn’t change the fact I believe strongly that something must be done.
Thanks if you read this far, here’s a cookie 🍪

I think that some of the employees are bad people (like groomers) and that's why wildworks ignores players grooming others.
I know you’re a random internet user butt, probably shouldn’t be throwing around words like ‘’groomers’’.
@@Bloodclot20 this is the internet bro
I stopped playing the games from Wildworks a couple years ago when the Fer.Al situation happened. I may still go on ajpw sometime soon, but I’m really scared to LOL
The fandom needs a new one tbh
Called Fauna haven or something
Where the game takes place in a a huge magical forest with volcano,mountains etc and why the forest is so huge and have things an actual forest don’t have is explained in story mode!
Fr aj “classic” hasn’t gotten any updates in years, and I remember as a kid like four-six years ago complaining about the company but look at it now haha. Imo it went downhill after they broke up with Nat Geo, they got so much publicity from them and I think merchandise soon (also it’s funny seeing the reskin seasonal design and membership controversy popping up in PW) but feral had so much potential and was so fun and I’m still pissed about it
Im pretty sure the tyrannosaur was designed by ajhq before it was bought out by nazara
i wish ajc got recognized more ☹️☹️
AJPW is about to be AJ classic with the membership stuff
I had payed for a 1 month membership and then never received it I got my membership when the next Months payment came out. This was tat the beginning of nazeras take over but it still feels in professional
Still upset over feral. I didn't even play the game very long but seeing the passionate community spurned and betrayed so casually was upsetting.
I didnt know about the data breach until a bit after it happened. I got hacked, lost all my spikes, and now I'm back to having nothing.
