Is AJ good or bad?

Ever since the horse coin incident, I hate animal jam so much! But when I come to think of it... Why do I hate it? The result: I am clearly addicted to it. Now I may be juz a 16 y.o girl but when it comes to serious matters, I can make sense out of it. This post is for parents and other jammers out there :) 

Brace urselves for a long post kay? :P 

Why did I start playing AJ?

So I started played aj when I was 12, which is an ok age.... (AKA 4 years ago) I saw an ad for it in one of my natgeo kids magazines (I'm obsessed with animals) and I was thinking maybe I should give it a try (bad move). I created an account (with my moms email cuz I was innocent) and I joined the world of jamaa! It was rlly cute and everything... I created my wolf (I had a boy-ish look cuz I wanted it to represent a real wolf) and I went to those 30min interval parties and played games and got outfits and created my den! I wasn't hooked to aj yet that time tho

Experience of 1st year on AJ

I gotta say, it didn't start out so well :( when I created my wolf (boy-ish look), a girl came to me and asked if I'm a boy. I was quite surprised cuz u know, kids weren't supposed to "hook up" but I played along and said I'm a girl in real life and she's like 'oh'. Then the rest were all fine... Played games and stuff and got friends :) 

Then few weeks later, I created another girlier acc that goes by Sandstorm3177! I still use it sometimes :P few weeks of playing on sandstorm, I got quite hooked to it... I wanted member stuff like the golden bow and arrow so I begged my dad for membership, in which he agreed to give me 12 months membership. I was so happy! I immediately bought member only stuff. Back then members had monthly member gifts which was way better compared to weekly diamonds. 

Then I started getting obsessed over getting the rare bow and arrow. Since then I stopped playing games and stopped learning and I juz wanted to become rare (still do :P) 

Then one day, bam! I got hacked cuz I have out my password! Coral24 promised me that she could enter a headdress code (headdress was a bomb then and still are) if I would give my user and pass... Which I did. Being a 12 y.o I started crying and crying and begging AJHQ to give my items back in which they responded with a tone saying 'NEVER! It's all ur fault! Now deal with it, peasant!' But I got over it prtty quick and decided to be a normal jammer and hv fun. That's when I had my first AJ boyfriend :L yes, I played along... This guy went all 'who likes me go to my den' and I went and he said 'I choose duchess' which is my wolf and I was like 'omg I'm the lucky girl!' But on that AJ relationship, nothing happened... Once we "broke up" I admit, I also started 'who likes me, my den' and I chose the nicest looking guy. That's when the weird sex stuff started to happen and I literally freaked out! I don't wanna get into details D: 

2nd year experience on AJ

AJ was still good in 2013, except being rare was the only way to be "cool". That's when I discovered our dearly beloved, Aldan, land of the rares. Founders and orange beards and black mech helm were the rarest items back then and everyone wanted them. And that's where "Flash Trade" was introduced (thanks Julian2 for ruining everyone's life). I was a victim of this scam many times and I admit, it is my fault for falling for it. I knew perfectly what was gonna happen but I still went for it... So yes, getting scammed is my fault :) 

I started getting rare slowly and had my first tail armor and headdress... I was rlly fond of those items! And I kept trading and towards the end I got rare prtty quick... And I was addicted!

3rd year experience of AJ

This is where everything started hitting rock bottom. AJHQ brought out the Forgotten Desert adventure and it drove everyone mental cuz rares came out... In my opinion, it was exciting XD I can finally  get rare! So I played and played and played. And I didn't stop at all. My parents refused to get me membership so instead, I bought membership frm my own money. I also started a YouTube channel on animaljam to get some fame (u could see how serious I was abt this game and how hooked I am) 

Then a new scam came! The "trust trade"! The one trade we all hate so much! Everyone started doing it since it was rather effective with jammers like me (I'm so naive). Since 2011, the number of scammers hv gradually increased, including the number of adults playing. This one hacked known as fman smthg, was an adult who knew how to hack. Pretty much all hackers are adults.

4th year experience on AJ

Now by this time, I am 16 y.o and still playing animal jam. Yes, it is very addicting as tho AJ is a dollhouse keeping everyone trapped. By 2015, AJ is filled with teenagers and adults. It's a total nightmare for children. In Aldan, everyone is swearing (I confess I swear a lot on animal jam) and now, everyone is obsessed with rares. Everyone fighting to be the rarest jammer. Scams and hackers everywhere! Nothing but trading! It's like an online apocalypse! Even AJHQ is not doing a very good job anymore. Recently, AJHQ took away one of my valuable item and I emailed them countless times and all they did was tell me not to give my password out to anyone and then they juz simply ignore me. Also whenever I report someone, AJHQ does nothing abt it... It takes a while continent of ppl to report one person juz to suspend them.... However, when I did nothing wrong and simply wrote 'haha kk :3' they restricted my chat to bubble chat. That's so not fair!

Other things I been doing during those period of time:

Nothing. I gave up art classes, martial arts. I don't do my hw. I barely read. I have real video games like 'Assassin's Creed' and 'Devil May Cry' but I don't play those cuz I chose AJ over them. Skyrim not counted. I'm addicted to that too :P I stay up late juz to play AJ... I literally don't hv a life anymore... 

So conclusion:

Pros of AJ:

- making new friends 

- customizing cute animals 

- educational 

Cons of AJ:

- Sexual activities 

- too much scams and hacks 

- poor moderation

- poor customer service 

- too much swearing 

- too addicting 

So these are all the pros and cons in case anyone wanna check em out 

There are also other reviews that u can find on google from actual parents in case no one believes a 16 y.o that is addicted to AJ... 

Thanks for ur time for reading 

Scams and Hacks

So I'm sure everyone got scammed like at least once right? Yea it's perfectly normal... I admit, I got scammed more than one can count and I got hacked twice.... Yes, the first time I cried and begged ajhq for my stuff back xD the second time I juz didn't care... I was bound to get hacked again anyway.

So I decided to make a list of scams and hacks that I experienced and we all should be aware of... (No pics sorry Dx)

1) The Trust Trade 

Yes... We have all been scammed by this and unfortunately, it's still going on! It's become so serious, even AJHQ warned us about it.... In case any of u don't know, a trust trade is when someone asks u to trust that they will decline ur really really big trade.... First few times they will decline but once they gained enough trust, someone is bound to trade the item they target and they will accept... Keep in mind that whoever says 'Omg they declined my [high rarity item]' is the same person as the scammer. 

2) The Flash Trade 

AJHQ may hv delayed the appearance of the accept button in a trade request... But keep in mind that the scammer may hv installed the Auto Accept mod.... This is when someone flashes an item, the mod will automatically accept the trade regardless if the accept button is there.. So be careful :) 

3) Trade Glitch

We all know animal jam is really glitchy these days... There's even a glitch in the trading system... It's when someone gives u an over trade along with a store bought item for ur item... Let's say.. They trade a black long spike and a store bought necklace for ur pink long collar... Of course u would accept, but when u accept, u will glitch out and forced to refresh... Once ur back online, ur pink long would be gone and all u hv is their store bought necklace.... So don't always accept an over trade for smthg valuable to u :) 

4) Borrowing stuff 

I'm sure it's pretty obvious xD it's when someone asks to "try on" ur item but then they don't give it back 

5) Giving membership/item codes

This is a way to hack someone... It's when someone promises a membership code for free if u give them ur password... Then once they get into ur acc, they will take everything u hv... 

Sometimes when someone promises me a membership, I would give them an empty non member account to see if they rlly put membership or not... Most the time, they would say the code has problems redeeming... So don't trust anyone that gives out "free" membership or item codes 

5) Reduce Lag

Ok so since these days animal jam is very laggy, there are some ppl who would offer to reduce the lag of ur animal jam... And they would usually ask for some type of code from "Inspect Element"... Don't give it xD they can use that code to get ur password and get into ur animal jam and take all ur stuff... So be careful with whoever offers to help 

So that is the list of scams and hacks that I hv experienced... But basically, juz don't trust anyone on animal jam xD there's scams and hacks everywhere 

Be careful out there and happy jamming!

Headdress Rarity Scale

Hey, Jammers!

So today I will be posting about the headdress rarity scale since many are still wee bit confused.. like me xD So hope this helps :D if the scale is wrong, you may correct it in the comment section

1) The Light Pink Headdress

Ok so this beauty is by FAR the rarest out of all headdress... since the day they came out. Dang, it's hard to get these.... You probably needa trade like a blue headdress and a long black for these... Currently on my wishlist xD

2) The Blue Headdress

I had one of these long before The Forgotten Desert came out..... one of my favorites out of all my items... these are still pretty easy to get cause all you needa do is trade 2 headdresses or a headdress and a black long and a den beta and thats all..... these are good.

3) The Dark Green Headdress

I never really knew that these were in Top 3 headdresses.... I mean yea they take a while to get but they don't seem that rare for some reason... Or it's just my eyes

4) The Green - Purple Headdress

The days when these were the least rarest... Now they have gone up tremendously... Top 5 even xD currently on my wishlist too! I somehow love this color so much.. 

5) The Green - White Headdress

Still good, but rarity slowly decreasing xD not that attractive in my opinion.. but maybe I'm just colorblind

6) The Red Headdress

I currently have one of these xD These are not that bad... You trade this with the orange headdress and BOOM! u got a blue headdress! And add that with a black long and BOOM! Light pink! Sounds easy? It's not :( 

7) The Orange Headdress

One of the easiest to get actually... Just need to trade a black long and maybe orange long for it and you got it.. 

8) The Pink and Purple Headdress

Easiest to get hahaha.. Only need to trade a black long and maybe couple of real betas and it's yours! But it's not that good in getting a different color headdress... considering its least rarest...

That's all, I guess :) I hope its useful in case your in need of trading help... Well of course the last one you know would be the rare headdress... but those are still quite good considering it's a rare item monday...

Happy Jamming!

LLAMAAAAAAASSSSSS!!!!!

Hey, Jammers!

The Forgotten Desert myths REVEALED!

Hey guys! 

Sorry I not been blogging much since 2 years ago... Dang that's long xD 

I've not been much on Animal Jam anymore but yea.. somehow i got re-addicted to it (is that a word?) 

Anyway, I'm sure you all know The Forgotten Desert, am I right? The eagle adventure that helps out anyone to get rares.. and of course along with everything else, The Forgotten Desert has its myths about getting those rares... Now I gotta say, they are actually not true :( 

Anyway, I'm gonna list out some of the famous myths that I heard while adventuring with fellow eagles:

1) Opening chests reduces chances of getting rares

2) Dancing for 10 seconds on the last cactus shard increases chance of getting rares

3) Talking increases chance of getting rares

4) Silence increases chance of getting rares (ironic to #3)

Ok so... lemme explain why they're not true... I actually opened chests like pffttt manyyyy times xD i managed to still get couple rares and den betas... not extreme ones like spikes etc.. but you know beta walls, rare eyeball hats, mech angel helmets etc..  and there are times where I opened chests and I still got store items... The items are actually at random so you can't really tell what kind of sorcery you have to do to get those items... If you're lucky, then you can get something good.. if not, then you can always get it next time :) DONT GIVE UP!

However, myth #2 I'm not quite sure about it since I haven't really experimented it yet. Myths #3 and #4 definitely are not true cause you see... contrast.. yea xD

That's about it :) I'll keep everyone updated hopefully if I can....

Have a jamming time, jammers!!
