Old things in AJC that I wish were still here

Hello, jammers! Before we jump into the post, I just decided not to do a Shop Shoutout today. Mainly because I've got 5 animal gifts lined up for fellow bloggers :), am way too lazy for some reason, and working on a spring graphic pack for my art blog!

That being said, I didn't want to not post so here's a really random one!

I actually got this idea from reading Fuzzy Shyivy's old blog, the Animal Jam Rush, after reading her very early posts starting alllllll the way back from 2010. As I started reading them, I realized she took frequent screenshots, and boy has AJ changed over the past 11 years. So, I found a couple of pictures from her blog and Doomy's blog (from 2013!) that I thought would be cool to make into a post!

I hope this post is entertaining, like always, so let's get started!

In this picture, Fuzzy explained that there used to be little leaf icons hovering above certain plants. If you clicked one, a popup would explain the type of plant, list facts, and include pictures! How cool would that be?! This would not only be AWESOME, it would greatly increase Animal Jam's "learning" aspect of the game.

I deeply wish that AJ had kept their old Jamaa Journal. This version actually looks like a real newspaper and not just page after page going over an update we got 4 years ago. On the side, they list "Stuff to Do", which is an excellent newspaper-filler. People get bored in Jamaa all the time! I also love the little volume and date tracker in the Jamaa Journal header. SO cool. 

I honestly wish that alphas were still scattered along the map. I think it's important for jammers to learn about Jamaa's history, and these alphas could help do that! Liza bringing me to my next point...

Um... am I the only one that gets annoyed by this?! I HATE how they changed Liza's appearance. If Liza's going to be a panda, give her panda qualities. Don't make her skinny just to make her look better; she already looks exactly how I would imagine a panda alpha to look like!

I also love how during Jamaalidays you could pick a present, just like you would under a Christmas tree! Sure, this isn't that big of a deal, but I think it looks a little more realistic. 

I think that it was cool when AJHQ added little blurbs about the alphas! This could definitely come back, and they could just put out these kinds of messages monthly! Like I said earlier, it's important to know Jamaa to understand Jamaa, you know?

Finally, the last thing on my list, is the Rare Item Monday pictures they posted on the Daily Explorer! Instead of just adding the little golden gift boxes and only including the title of the RIM, why not just add a picture? It doesn't take much effort at all, and jammers will know what the RIM looks like so they can decide if they want it or not. 

Onto....

No way this blog has hit 400 comments!! Thank you guys! Honestly, reading the positive, funny, happy, creative, joyful, exciting comments from all of you jammers, is in my opinion one of my favorite parts about running a blog! They are always so sweet, and make my day so much better :')

And that will wrap up this short post! I hope you enjoyed, and comment down below which past "thing" you would like to come back too!

Thanks for reading and happy jamming!
