Random Saturday Ep 90: The History Of Jamaa Township

Howdy Jammers! This is Pluto back at it with another Random Saturday!

This week, I will be covering a small portion of the "Beta" period of Animal Jam Classic! Before the polished version of Animal Jam classic was released, there was a testing phase known as the "Beta" era. Many items were released during this time that are now considered rare. But, a lot of new jammers don't know about this time period. Now I couldn't possibly fit everything about the beginning of animal jam and how it was before it was released to the public. But, today we will be talking about Jamaa and the changes it went through to get where we are. 

First, lets talk about the beta era:

Now as you can see, Jamaa Township has gone through some major changes throughout the years. the overall walkways have stayed relatively the same, with the 2 bridges on each side and the open middle. there was a total of 2 shops; Jam Mart Clothing (bottom right) and Jam Mart Furniture (top right). Also shown in this image, there are 3 other buildings; Club Geoz (top left), the Medical Center (bottom building; bottom left), and the Pillow Room (top building; bottom left)

Here we see the spawn point of Jamaa Township during the Beta testing. In the middle, there is a sign that has changed a lot throughout the course of the game. the overall feel of the spawn point hasn't changed, but the layout of buildings has changed drastically.

Here is a picture of the Mira shrine which Is located at the very top of Jamaa. as you can tell, this area hasn't changed what so ever. but its important to show that some things haven't changed within the game throughout the years. 

Now we are looking at the bottom of Jamaa Township, where we have Jam mart clothing, the Pillow Room, and the Medical center. The fountain and the pillow room are the only parts of this area that have not moved since the beta.

Jam Mart clothing was one of the only shops in the game at the time, and it design hasn't changed. I can't find any images of Jam mart furniture, but it pretty much looks the same as it does now.

Now lets move on to present day

As you can see, there's been a lot of new additions throughout the land. Such as; the Diamond Shop (bottom right) , the Sol Arcade (bottom left) , and the Alpha Headquarters (bottom right). Club Geoz was removed in 2017 to be replaced with the Alpha Headquarters. the pillow room became less and less prominent. And the layout of Jam Mart Clothing and Jam Mart Furniture was changed to the spots we all know today. 

In the future, I hope to do more posts about different beta features. I feel like many new jammers don't know the history behind these lands that we all know and love. but for today, stay safe and Play Wild in AJPC!

Random Saturday Ep 89: AJC Roleplay Culture & History

 

Greetings from Agent Grave!

 Today I'm going to touch upon a topic that remains sentimental to me: the roleplay community in AJC. Most Jammers are aware that people roleplay warrior cats and wolves in Sarepia Aldan. Despite what it may seem, it is much more than pretending to be an animal. I've met lifelong friends from this special corner of the internet, and I'm still in touch with some of them today. Roleplay has given me a jump-start in my passion for writing, and I wouldn't have the skillset or opportunities I have today if I wasn't a warrior cats obsessed nerd. 

Our culture may seem strange to traders, but it makes us who we are, and resonates with us on a personal level. To understand roleplay culture, you must understand our history.

Random Saturday Ep 88: AJC Beach House Den Review

Hey Jammers. Galaxy here with another Random Saturdays post! Today I’m doing a review of the Beach House den in Animal Jam Classic.

The Beach House den is a member’s only den that costs 7 diamonds in the Diamond Shop. It was originally released back on April 30, 2015, during the summer. It was taken out and released again multiple times. It’s recently been re-released again for the summer of 2021.

The den has a 3-story house with a deck, 3 balconies, and a slide that leads to the beach. You can also go to the far right to stand on the plateau where you can see dolphins or fish jumping out of the water!

I like the Beach House due to how spacious it is. You can decorate it with multiple different themes. Since it was so large, I used it as an art gallery myself for a while. This is my own Beach House Den now!

The summer theme is easiest to match to the Beach House but there are many other themes you could use as well.

If you search online you can easily find some decorating tutorials. There’s plenty of items you can buy in the Diamond Shop and in Jam Mart Furniture that are beach-themed as well! However, some of the items released from the Beach House Bundle that are currently for sale in the Diamond Shop have a very limited time left before they’re gone so be sure you grab them before they’re gone!

That concludes this episode. Be sure to buy the Beach House Den before it’s gone and thank you so much for reading the newest edition of Random Saturdays!

Monthly Update - June

Hello everyone! Flint here to tell you about the society updates for June 2021.

First off, we've been doing some internal work restructuring staff duties. This won't change much, except that you might see some staff doing different things. We hope this change will even the workload and reduce burnout.

As always, we also have our monthly events! We just wrapped up a fun game of Race through Jamaa, and are starting Undercover. Guests are welcome to join in, and we highly encourage you to participate. Check out our Discord server for more information!

We're also hiring! If you're interested in being part of our team, check out our Joining page for more info. We don't accept everyone, but it never hurts to send in an application.

And finally, our Report Form is open as well. If you have evidence of a scam taking place, we encourage you to submit it there. If we can turn it into a good post, we will!

That's all for today. Bye!
