Yes, there's a reason I'm using ... today after my greeting instead of my usual !
I have some very depressing news.
Look at this. I found it in my Jam-A-Gram horde:
The first thing is in the second thing on the list:
MEMBERS get exclusive FREE gifts every month. Become a member in July and get a cool new accessory!
We're (non-members) are going to get one of these EVERY MONTH, that means. Let us sing praises to AJ's Creators about how they're so pathetic!
The second thing is in the third thing:
MEMBERS can find and collect pets, wear all the clothes and accessories in Jamaa, decorate the coolest dens, use animated emotes, and so much more to come!
Well, there goes the idea that non-member pets will exist. Bye bye! See you... never!
The third thing that annoys me is BOTH of the last two. What is Animal Jam's mission? To make learning about animals FUN! Do you see anything on here that mentions learning about animals? Or learning in general? No! The closest thing that membership gets to is 'supporting big cats'. Since it doesn't go by its mission, it's really worthless! It's kinda stupid to have membership for a virtual thing anyway... it's all not real!
One thing that REALLY creeped me out was a fraction of a dream last night. It was about Animal Jam (for reasons unknown... no, I don't dream about games! I don't usually dream at all!). I was opening someone's player card (I have no idea who... it was blurry...) and the 'Add Buddy' button was black. Like the 'go to den' button when it's locked or you're in it already. That scared me. Really, really bad scared me. If this is predicting the future, my buddy list with all my buddies will go. I won't be able to talk to you, etc. That's what scared me. If AJ gets that cheap... that buddies are 'members only'... *shivers*
Bye for now... *more shivers*
Thats creepy...It would also be if they Didn't allow nonmembers to have free chat and bubble chat...
ReplyDeleteAJ HQ will never limit buddies for memebers/non-members. They usually don't take something that basic to the game away.
ReplyDelete@anonymous, Done be so sure. Most people will anything for more money eventually.....
ReplyDeletein my early times of aj, (before i was blogging) and i found ajr, i was relieved that i could get codes. then the night after, i had this weird dream that aj was running out of buisness. in every server, there were no green lines. i was the only one on. then there was an earthquake (not programmed in i believe) and i went offline and the aj website was gone. i hope nothing like that happens ever (like it will :P)
ReplyDelete@ Midieval:
ReplyDeleteYeah...
@ Anonymous:
Hjackler's right. The reason everyone starts off with the 'basic' chats is so that you have to get the parent account open so that you can change the chat settings... and possibly buy membership.
And it wouldn't be much of a stretch, anyway. Take a look at TEF (The Endless Forest). There's no chat at all. You just use various e-mote gestures to express stuff.
@ Key99:
Whoa... I have actually seen stuff like that where there were no bars on the servers. Never like that anymore, though.
And the earthquake... what happened in it? Was the 'screen' shaking or was the game world 'collapsing'? Or something else?
And I hope it doesn't happen... that's weird... But it makes me feel better that I'm not the only one with an AJ dream...
hi, im going to say this. aj is running out of money, they need more, and the only reason for that is us, we want more, but it COSTS to program more on animaljam, so they need more money, its not that they dont care about us and only members, they want to do more for us! and they would need a bit more money for that, and thats why alot of stuff is member now. bye!
ReplyDeleteI used to play Disney's Pixie Hollow (I think that was about 1 1/2 years ago).
ReplyDeleteThen, they strictly put off-limits on Non-members for everything except chatting and having Buddy lists.
Which is why I don't play it anymore.
So see? I think every website has to include chatting and Buddies for everyone. I mean, that's the WHOLE point of "virtual worlds" and "internet".
FOR PEOPLE TO CONNECT.
So I think your dream was just a wacko dream, Woodswolf.

Your Right!!! Thats What I Would Say! I Think Thats The Reason Also, :)
Oh! And I Also Want To Say, I Can NOT Get On Animaljam That Much. It Makes My Computer REEEAAAALLY Slow, Im Waiting Till I
ReplyDelete(A)Move
(B) Get A New Battery
Or
(C) Get A New Laptop
I Really Want On, But When I DO Get On, It Freezes Or Slows. :( Sorry!
i saw that too... and i watched my hopes go down the drain....
ReplyDeleteI kidna agree woodswolf But I have good news I might get my game software soon, I couldn't buy it myself because it's 4,000 BUCKS. But I have a cousin Who makes video games and he might hook me up, I'm going to Vancouver on Saturday, for Camping then Whistler for a family re-union so if I get the software then were in the clearing Everything will be Even until I get older then I will make a membership although I will get a crew which would possibly be you guys but that requires meeting in real life and it won't be my "Carrier" just one of my hobbies.

ReplyDeleteI had a dream Once when I was on Animal Jam.The a note came up saying :"Animal Jam is closing for good.Please take not that for those of you have memberships,the money you spent will go to Saving Big Cats!Goodbye jammers!"
It was SO weird.But like something like that would happen!
Sigh...I agree, it's pretty depressing, that jam a gram. :( If AJ lied to us when they said non member pet(s) are comin, I'll be maaaaad.>=(
ReplyDeleteThat dream sounds creepy...I hope that doesnt happen....
On a lighter note though.....JUST A FEW HOURS TILL HP7 PART 2!!!! XD
