MOST Nostalgic Things in Animal Jam 

I miss the old sapphire shop, the old old one. It actually looks like the outside, the new one looks like 5 times the size of how it does outside.

animal jam nostalgia is truly the most based thing 😭🙏 also wootmoos den gets full sometimes still! just depends on the day and the time, its normally not busy in the daytime but more so in the evening but on the weekends it gets busy again!

The old aj we're better, People won't so toxic, Trading wasn't as bad as it is today, There was less bad people and there was no custom name tags, I just really like the 2020 animal jam. I agree with you!

I miss the old animal jam.

I miss when animal jam was owned by wildworks and National Geographic kids.. Back then they focused on the ANIMAL part on animal jam. Everything fit the natural vibe, even the music! All the items were cozy and simple, but the newer ones are too modern and detailed. Animals had a better style, and even the patterns just looked better. Back then when the mods actually cared about how the items would fit on the animals, not just cram them on a default spot and call it a day. Like, come on. Just take a look at the hippo.

To me the one thing you missed abt Play Wild nostalgia is the old AJPW app icon. The old icon used to have the normal wolf that was smiling with it’s paws hanging on the frame, whenever it was winter/Christmas the icon would change into an arctic wolf with the same pose as the wolf before changing back into the normal icon (or other seasonal icons). They eventually replaced the wolf with the arctic wolf entirely during update 14.0.3 and boy I was so angry when I found out that the wolf was gone forever 😅 I always thought AJ was too biased with the arctic wolves more than the normal wolves as a kid, and honestly without that blue wolf that caught my eye I probably wouldn’t have discovered AJ at all

I can feel my bones turning into dust,,,, and I started playing in 2014,,,

For me the most nostalgic thing in animal jam is going down the slide in the tiger temple den with the music "raccoon nights" playing in the den.

The players have definitely changed. I've been on and off of AJ 3 times now. Once in 2017 when I started, once in 2020, and now. 2017 is mostly a blur, but I did make a good friend from back then. 2020 was SO nice, I met tons of friends, and even started my childhood dream, being a RU-vidr, and now.. god the people are just dumb kids. I've been called "bbg", short for baby girl, 3 times now, 2 in the EXACT same area! And the first one was the day I started playing again! I haven't dug into the roleplays or popular trading areas a lot since I came back but I bet their worse

when I got scammed out of 8 flowercrowns in bepper's den... when people fought over who got to advertise on the bridge in jamaa township.. the old layout of jamaa.. the old sapphire shops.. when kimbara didn't exist yet.. when i bought 6 arctic wolves to get a better chance of a spike in the treasure hunt.. when shops didn't exist.. when pets couldn't be traded.. when i got groomed by a 20yr old.. ah, nostalgia

Leamon! Stop making all of us feel old!

the candy cavern den and it’s music gives me the most nostalgia, along with the in the moonlight music.

Animaljam has so much nastolgia it makes me think back when the world was so nice but now there just memories 😢 i rlly miss the old saphire shop and my friends who used to play

I miss the old aj where people would be in the juice hut and fight over who got to dance at the microphone lol. Now the server is always empty and there is just that memory.

I joined in 2018 and personally. the most nostalgic for me is the old dens and animals (and the treasure hunts too, they were much more entertaining than the daily spin-)

Dont ask me why, but the Jamaa Township nighttime music is SO nostalgic. I literally have no idea why XD Whenever I hear it it just makes me think about other nostalgic things that you listed-

I miss being able to go into literally anywhere, without seeing 7 million different: “My list for ___!” And when I could go to the pillow shop for RP and stuff, I miss adopting other jammers for fun and doing fandom based roleplays in AJPW..

Pretty much when I joined the community like 2 months ago I pretty much get annoyed when ppl advertise in places where they ain’t susposed to

To me, it is really nostalgic to think about how differently the game was designed back then - how there were no toxic players - and all of the beta items and easter eggs you could find. I remember back in the good old days of 2016-2017 I loved exploring the lands and a lot of the time me and my grandma looked for small details and easter eggs in the game. Yes my grandma also plays animal jam, and we started the game together. And back then it was designed so much differently as well. It’s really nostalgic to look back at the old jamaa journal, loading screens, club geoz, and even the way the game looked when you were switching animals. I also remember when pet clothing items became available in stores.

Yes. I especially miss when animal jam trading wasn't as overrated and demanding by people. It used to be very exiting to get a rare item on the (old) chat-off trade system, and it was also actually fun for collectors to go to trading dens. Now days trading is rather boring and used way to much, and is just genuinely not that fun. I am not that social on the game and trade chat can be very awkward, especially when the person throws an unnecessary fit, as you said in your video. The treasure hunt was also very fun, and I vividly remember it when I was young (maybe 7-8 years old.) ...Ah, odd enough, a particular room in my house upstairs still has the same smell (don't take that weirdly) or like, feeling,- that it had when I first started AJ. The same computer that I used when I *frst* found the game is still up there. Although I was quite young, I still get that nostalgic feeling every time I go upstairsnas the memories of AJ's beta days come back.

The old aj was amazing! I remember the time when the pillow room was still full of roleplays, and the treasure hunts, the treasure hunts make me feel like an old man. BUT i hope this new AJ, being toxic and just trading/buying just lowers.

I honestly thought the old old diamond shop was a dream until a few months ago when I actually found some footage. It brought back memories of me getting sad when they turned it into a rectangle

*"... And the Leamon will live on forever more, one of the only ones left..."*

I love that Leanon didn't forget about these old things and she is bringing us back awesome memories ❤

I feel like with the old trading, people actually had to think about what to offer to someone. I miss it!!!

Rip treasure hunts. Also I’ve recently found woot moo’s den full- I think it depends what time you get on. (Like if people are in school or different time zones) Overall great video! I always love to hear the stories of older animal jam.

I remember when new jammers could beg for a beta firefly friend and actually get one

I’ve been playing long enough to remember the Quackity HQ raid lol.

seasonal events are really nostalgic. I would have so much anticipation for the summer carnival, jamaaliday calendar, and especially super sweets considering that was around when I first joined in october 2017

I miss sooo many of these, I wish I could experience them again

I remember younger me when i used to be super excited and do the treasure hunts everyday after school…

As a classic player without Dance Party, I have on several occasions wished that the Alpha Headquarters got replaced by Club Geoz again.

I remember the old ajs... sucks i dont play anymore... but I do have another piece of nostalgia you didnt mention! It was in the sapphire shop or whatever, and you were able to go to this little box and watch a few ads to get prizes everyday! (etc. clothing, den items, and sapphires from what im aware of!) Also another thing-- The word sapphire. To this day, still struggle to spell it.

I started playing animal jam on its 2nd year and I remember most of it. I really miss the old days

When i first saw the sapphire shop changed, I nearly punched my device. That is where I got my first sets, where I got my first sapphire shop animal. Im talking about the horizontal shop version. If I could go back to that time with that version, when I was still chasing my dream items like Water Wings and a Freedom Spike, when my favourite parties were the dance party and the summer carnival, when I would become so excited for night of the phantoms so I could possibly get the phantom set and get to hover with it, when Stack Attack was a more available game and I won nearly evry round, with the loading screen pictures greeting me as I waited to return to the world I was in. The thing I can thank the most is Shimmerdeer, my first Animal Jam pet, a highlighter pink and highlighter green poodle from 2017. She is the one thing I will never let go and I have always been OBSSESED with her. So thank you the most, Shimmerdeer, for being my first pet. You are the most special thing on my AJ account and I have NEVER underestimated your value to me.

Old aj was sooo much better Original dens Good animals Great nostalgia No scamming (okay a bit of a stretch but still less scams) Barely any toxic people And just so many things

Thank you Leamon, I quit Aj a few years ago so this video was very nostalgic. Actually the reason I’m still subscribed to your channel is nostalgia :) I just sometimes watch your videos because they give me a nostalgic feeling.

OMG! I have been playing ajpw for 4 and a half years now and I remember most of these things! The things on ajpw that were most nostalgic to me were the ad chest, claws and paws before the pet token machine, the old sapphire shop, when bundles were on a board in the sapphire shop, when they first added the daily spin, when most of the buildings had coming soon signs like the exploratorium, walls and floors, etc, the pre-my shop days when it used to be so hard to get sapphires, when moku ahi came out (it came out the day after I started playing ajpw), and when I first started ajpw there wasn’t many member exclusive features

in my opinion, making pets tradable was one of animal jam’s worst mistakes along with bringing back old animals/dens, changing the sapphire shop layout, and putting beta items back in stories…like, I was SO mad when flower crowns appeared in epic wonders one day…

It was funny because I had started playing a couple days after the treasure hunts were deleted, I never got to try them XD But one of the things I miss the most is the old sapphire shop :(

6:12 wait WHUT i have this dude on my buddy list hes hosted so many sapphire drops i just thought he was rlly chill LMAO

I miss the old ( not old old ) sapphire shop, hear me out. This one messes with my screen SO MUCH and this one is just… I don’t like it. Probably because I grew up with the old one, the old one was super cool tbh, nicely laid out.

THE FEELS HSHHDGV

I am late, but one thing i miss is from animal jam classic. I remember the AJschool den, how people would roleplay there, and it was always full. It was fun, a good way to make buddies on animal jam.

I wish I was part of the old Animal Jam. Also just so you know, today I saw one of Aggrix's alt accounts in Jamaa, Aureius. I had to record a video of it. Animal might have been more safe back the beta days. Thanks for your amazing content!

I haven't frequently played animal jam on mobile, but since I've been there a while I might find something nostalgic lol

I wish we could choose between the old and the new trading system when we want to trade! That would be so cool

Old Aj: 😃 😊 🤩 Aj now: 😔💸🤑 2019-2021 were my favorite years playing Aj I miss old Aj

I can’t believe I started playing since 2016.. wow… just wow.. back then I wasnt really trading for rates but for stuff that looked good but there’s one thing you forgot leamon idk if this counts but the old cool looking styles people used to have like flower crown nutcracker boots rocker hair spiked collar and black or grey fur with a white face. That style used to be so popular but now it’s just not there anymore.

Me then: I don’t want to have to cancel 52836 times. Add trade chat. Me now: Social anxiety I feel you Leamon XDXD

I really miss the old animal jam where rp dens were packed! It was really fun and you wouldn't be bored while playing.

I miss when members only got packs and daily sapphires. Having member items, especially recolors of nonmember ones is greedy. I'm a member, so it does not impact me, but it is gross.

Don't understand why they removed the old loading screens. Now its boring.

Yeah I hate the new trading system. I agree with it being awkward because it is awkward. My pet peeve is when I’m adding items to trade and the person just exits the trade because I’m “taking too long” like nobody has a bit of patience? I will tell you when I’m done adding items. With the old system I could take all the time I needed and send the trade request and if the person accepted then yay! It was much quicker.

I miss there being wild animals and wild animals ONLY [Well, in Play Wild's case.] I also miss National Geographic, they helped ensure the ANIMAL of ANIMAL Jam. One last thing, when Play Wild was just a spinoff of Animal Jam and not just it's 3D replacement that ended up taking it's namesake anyways.

One of the nostalgic things I had was pet for pet trading I just feel like there’s barely anyone that does it anymore and I always did it when I used to be obsessed with pets

4:30 WHAT. 2017?! I was literally what 6-7 back then that feels so long ago, damn..

I personally think the old dens were the most nostalgic, I used to have the Bunny Burrow in my den as the very first den I ever got with sapps, But deleted it for some weird reason. I MISS THAT DEN NOW 😭...

The music is so nostalgic ah the nintendo wii good times

Animal Jam was and is still a kinda big part of my childhood, now not really anymore. I dont really know why, i still love it but it kinda got a little boring. All of my friends quit :( . It brings back so much memories, great and bad (but like 90% great memories). It changed alot and i love nostalgia! Dont get me wrong I still love aj but its not like in the old times. Sometimes I think of the old AJ and my younger self playing it! I’ve been playing it since 2018 (and now too)❤

I miss old animal jam sm :(

I started play in 2014🙏😹💕, loving this video 👍💯🤩

You missed one more thing! Remember when you started the game in the beginning and peck shows you around? And like people put the emoji thingys? Yea, sadly ajhq took that out. :(

I say we just bring back the old system. item worth is like too confusing now also i sorta enjoyed when everything was constant. As someone who is autistic and hasn't had a constent thing in years it was very calming for me and I knew what to look forward to. Now its kinda just annoying. esp with them re releasing old items.

yall sleepin on the old log-in screen ost. ifykyk

I missed old trade and oldest sapphire shop rip my homies 😢 Edit: wootmoo is usually full but its not the same as it used to be. Wootmoo used to be the only trading den. Now fancyshorts took it over but people still go to woot.

The old shop is SO nostalgic for me, I'm so sad it's gone ):

For me, the greatest animal jam nostalgia would be the balloosh theme.

I rarely comment on videos, but holy cow this stuff was pretty nostalgic! I started playing in 2016 and when I found out AJPW was changed to just AJ, I felt pretty sad. I personally don't remember club geoz but I remember seeing the toy at target lol. I miss the old trading system but I do like the fact you can add more than 4 items, the chat box is nice but sometimes I just don't like it. Anyone else miss going to the snow leopard den and find lots of players saying "Warrior Cat/emo wolf RP at my den!" and they use the garden den for the RP? Just me? Idk. I wish they brought back the old sapphire shop (rectangle version) and treasure hunts. Is it me being too critical for the new model style or is AJPW not making models that represent the AJ style with more blocky shapes? Edit: Anyone else get bombarded with trades of jammers giving you a (ex: item every player gets when they are new) and asking you to trade for it but you don't want that item or they trade you that for a rare item (ex: nutcracker boots)?

I remember a lot of these things but sadly I took a month break in aj and my account was hacked so I took another two month long break be cause I was a little sad/mad and now I had to restart but this video brings back a lot of Old time Nostalgia

You forgot That Time when You logged in there where a bunch of NPCs and Peck There Where a bunch of bushes And a gate to Jamaa the first time i started AJ wasn't close to 2015 but it will stay forever in my heart 😢❤

I'm just used to the trading system in AJ classic lol

I miss roleplays, no one roleplays anyone 🤷‍♀️ And the new sapphire shop makes me dizzy 😅

2:20 oh wow I didn’t think I played for that long

its the most beautiful this i've every seen in my life! its a bah nah nah nah! next to a bah nah nah nah!

actually added back treasure hunts this month but they don't have one for each animal anymore

I miss the "welcome to jamaa!" with the random jammers when you make a new account, & the old sapphire shop :(

this video gave me so much nostalgia :)

i miss it when the games were aj plaw wild and animal jam :( also the old jambassidors (julian2, appari, bepper)

So apparently, what I've read from a comment in the past on a previous video on awesomeisme's channel on one of her videos. Someone commented why Club Geoz was destroyed because National Geographic had ended their partnership with WildWorks since Club Geoz was based on some real place im pretty sure idk. The comment is left on one of Awesomes animations from a couple years ago, I'd have to find it though.

Fun fact:club geoz is still in the phantom dimention and u can enter it

Thb i didn't was playning ajpw in these times but still i feel somehow nostalgic...

i remember when someone scammed me and i lost 3 flower crowns.. i was so sad because they were considered rare, but now..well yk

Wait, I remember you! Glad to know you're still active after a few years!

I started to play animal jam around 2016 honestly I fell in love with it after all although my rainbow spike got scam. And so I never even got into training things because of that. I love the game overall but I wish animal jam HQ would add free membership for all jammers at least.

I remember most of these ... It makes me feel sad what's gone... (Edit: been playing since 2018)

i agree with allll of these, i joined in january 2017 or something like that lol i remember collecting FEDORAS because they were rare 😭 also a random thing but i miss the old username tags, they werent customised or anything, sure, but i liked their simplicity. some of the new colourful ones are kinda like eyesores if im being honest😭

Like ur art style

People stopped using the sapphire shop for trading which makes me sad.Yeah people still do trade there, but I think the chance of seeing people do so is low.People just use it to advertise their shops, while back then, as shops were members only, there were only a few.It was easier to trade in the old sapphire shop, and it probably would've been aswell if they changed it to their oldest design.

the previous 2 sapphire shops hit me so hard with nostalgia oh lord

I miss the old Saph shop look the one we have no makes me nauseous to be in same with the volcano island (can’t remember the name) runnin in the circle really makes me want to vom😭😭 oh. And THE PARTIES parties used to be trading hubs fr now they kinda aren’t? And remember when the ballet tutu was considered rare? Same with the nutcracker set lol now their kinda not cause they come back all the time

actually wootmoo den sometimes gets full

i just played aj rn, lol as a person that started playing aj in 2015/2016, yes, most of them were better versions than now, and I may forgot some of the old versions. lol

I have to agree with the Club Geoz (I agree on all of these) but the Club Geoz.. 2017?! I thought it was removed in like 2019/2020, I remember it being there in 2019.. But I’ve been playing for a LONG time. My first account i made in like 2016, I don’t know the password to it but I probably have some rare items on there.

OHH MY GODDD I USED TO GO TO WOOTMOOS DEN ALL THE TIME TO TRADE IN LIKE 2016 OR SO I TOTALLY FORGOT ABT POPULAR TRADING DENS

The new trading system scares me sm 😭

The invite link to the discord server isn't working; is that just me? Anyway, great video Leamon!

Leamon! I think you may have forgotten the old customization buttons! They used to have vines as ropes to hold the buttons, and nowadays, they don’t. Search it up I think it’s there

i only get nostalgia from the original aj lol

i loved thoes animal chests!!!
