Search Bar + BOTM

Hey Jammers! I'm sorry if this post is a bit late, I ran into some big complications today. Instead of arriving home yesterday as planned, I literally just came back 15 minutes ago!

Last night our car stopped working on the highway halfway home, so we had to get it fixed and stay at a hotel. Blah... yesterday was just too much... 

I'm happy I'm back, though! And as promised, here's the November 2015 Buddy of the Month:

*drumroll*

Aaaaand, it is...........


My great friend, veterinariann!

Even though we both don't always have time to get online to talk to one another, veterinariann always stays in touch with comments on AJ Stream. If any of my other buddies are reading this, you can do that, too!!! Turn my comments section into a flipping chatroom, I don't mind! I just love talking with my buddies like veterinariann.

Veterinariann has always had an aura of thoughtful mystery to them, yet they always remain fun and interesting to be around. Thanks for being such a great friend! <3

I assumed I'd missed a little while I was away from my computer, and right I was! Some new items made an appearance, as well as an entirely new feature that the update apparently missed:



This new search bar seems pretty efficient for those who– unlike me –have too many items to scroll through. Thanks, AJHQ! <(^.^)>

You can use the search bar by typing in one or more of the words within an item's title to find it. 

In other news, quite a few items hit the shelves since I last logged on:



AJHQ is a little more excited for the Jamaalidays than usual! Correct me if I'm wrong, but at least two of those items came out the day after the official Feast of Thanks. Jeez, someone's impatient. (jkjk) XD

A great thing about the Jamaalidays is that the majority of the themed items are nonmember, and now that everyone can change their colors... YAY! :D

That's all for now, see you tomorrow with a new Berry the Koala update! 

DoomyPanda– out!

Nonmember Jammer Wall?

First off, I'd really like to thank all of you for your patience and support during my breaks in posting. I've been quite busy lately– last night I worked ten hours straight on a poster for English class! Phew, I wish I was exaggerating...


I can definitely promise regular daily posts again, starting... now! Or more accurately, starting Saturday because from Tuesday to Friday I'm going to be in a rural part of the world where internet is spotty. Either way, it still stands: No more unnecessary posting breaks! Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh!!!

A little update on Berry the Koala and Buddy of the Month, too. The last time I mentioned them, I said I wouldn't do them for a while just to catch up on my overall posting. Now I think it's time I bring them back... slowly. 

I can promise a new Buddy of the Month on Saturday and a new Berry the Koala on Sunday. Yep, that's final– unless something urgent and unexpected comes up, that's what you'll be getting! Berry is baaaaaaack.

Okay, enough of the blog talk. Real news time!!!

Because it's Monday, a new and beloved rare item is hidden in one of Jamaa's many shops. From Jam Mart Clothing, I present to you the "PILGRIM-GOES-TO-A-RAVE HAT"!


If you listen closely, you can hear the mixed sounds of turkeys and techno music. 

In other item-related news, an unexpected item has recently gone on clearance. Which item could it be? Why, the Coral Canyons Wallpaper!


...Which oddly has only two days left before it leaves the shelves! I wonder if this is a glitch. If not, I wonder why AJHQ chose this item in particular to take away. 

Speaking of glitches, has anyone else been experiencing that glitch where all non-typed Jam-a-Grams just say "Animal Jam Rocks!"? All my friends reported experiencing it, including me. Maybe now that nonmembers can change item colors they won't be able to communicate anymore.

Not through chat, at least. But Jammer Walls? That's a whole other story.


There's a possibility that only nonmembers who used to be members can still operate their Walls, but my nonmember friend showed me that she can still use hers without membership. And once again, the eternal question of the updates: Glitch or new feature? 

AJHQ will be the one to decide.

Here's a quick Animal Jam graphic that I whipped up in Photoshop:


Use this transparent camera for whatever AJ related things you wish! *click*

Before I go, I just wanted to let you guyz know that November 26th is my birthday, and that's partly the reason why I'm going away. Happy birthday to me!!! But more importantly, happy birthday to YOU. Whoever you are. Whenever your birthday may be. 

If no one's said "happy birthday" yet to you, let me be the first. Happy Birthday.

Until Saturday, Jammers! See you in Jamaa!

Multicolored items for all!

Hey Jammers! I'm sorry if this post is a bit late. I came down with a rather unexpected headache when I got home from school. :T

Still, I'm so happy that I've received so many supportive and kind comments despite not being able to post! It really makes me happy that my blog has such a positive community surrounding it, and even happier that I can finally call it a community after four years of blogging. That's right– four whole years!

Well, it won't be officially four years until June 17th, but I'm getting ahead of myself. Onto the Jamaa Journal! :D



Arctic foxes have come in from the cave in Mt. Shiveer to the Diamond Shop! 



Being that they're both foxes, arctic foxes are very similar to Animal Jam's original foxes with a hint of their own snowy style:





Pictured above are the arctic fox's sit, play, and dance actions. Sorry, I can't make GIFs! D:

Become one of these fluffy and stylish canines today~

And now, the second most exciting news of the day: Nonmembers can change item colors now!



Thank you so much, AJHQ! I'm really grateful for this new change. I'm going to buy SO. MANY. PURPLE. RUGS. *0*



Play Wild is now downloadable on iPhones and iPods! Now 3D AJ can follow you everywhere... there is no escape. ʘ‿ʘ



Aww... there's a new turkey pet in the Diamond Shop! Go get one of these babies if you'd like to be friends with turkeys rather than eat them. <3

Aah, who am I kidding. 80% of people who are gonna get them eat turkey already. Kinda weird if you ask me, but that's just my opinion... :T

I just hope there won't be a turkey-meat item this year. That would be seriously messed up. :(

EDIT:


Too late. >:(

The new fox mini book looks cute, though. In fact, more than cute– it's beautiful!



I think the work AJHQ puts in to make this game's gorgeous graphics is under appreciated. Come on, this mini book is one of the prettiest ever! Go take a look. c:

It even has a personality thingie and a quiz on the back!



The answers to the quiz are above for all you lazy cheaters. >:O (jk)

If you get all the answers right, you win a glowing blue fox award that looks like this:


Ooh, shiny...


Whoa whoa whoa... Hold your horses AJHQ, November isn't even close to being over yet! Well, it is... but I don't want it to be! Stop reminding me that December exists! >:O

Ah well, at least there are Jamaaliday Gifts and reindeer pets that come with December...


Personally, I'd like to enjoy Fall a little longer. ^_^

Before I go, I found one remaining headstone from Night of the Phantoms in Coral Canyons yesterday:


he's so tiny...

That's all for now, Jammers! See you in Jamaa and have a great Friday! :D

Post coming TOMORROW!

My midterm exams are finally over! Yaaaay! Now, back to posting!

...Tomorrow. :P


I happen to have a ton of homework tonight– as if the tests weren't enough– so you'll have to wait. Sorry! :(

P.S. It's the biweekly update tomorrow so you can expect some really cool stuff! Look forward to the official release of arctic foxes~


Until then... DoomyPanda, signing off!

Tests, tests, and MORE TESTS!


Sorry for the lack in posting lately! I'm having midterms right now in school so every minute I'm home I have to study. Well, not really, but it sure seems that way! D:

It'll all be over by next week, I promise! It will be then when I will resume a regular posting schedule once and for all.

Sorry for the delay, I hope you can understand. See you in Jamaa!

Jam-a-Gram Glitches

Hey Jammers! The Rare Item Monday is sold on the 3rd page of Jam Mart Clothing:


Finally we get a nonmember item! Yeah, its color scheme is kinda wonky, but what did you expect for a Rare Item Monday? 

Still, this hat has its uses! For example, you could always use it to cosplay an extraterrestrial who doesn't yet grasp human fashion. A great concept, if you ask me. XD

Speaking of extraterrestrials, a new interplanetary item has been released in the Astronomy Shop:



With AJ shops, you can always have a pretty good guess about what the next items will be based on the display. All the items from the display have been released except for one, the shelves pictured above. I'm really hoping that they get released as nonmember items! 

In other news, there's a new (and adorable) Feast of Thanks Jam-a-Gram!


I really love the warm color scheme of this, but I do miss the older animated Jam-a-Grams. Do you remember the one with the two foxes rowing a boat through a river? That was my favorite! I wonder why AJHQ took so many Jam-a-Grams away. D:

On the topic of Jam-a-grams, apparently the Jammer Wall glitch works with Jam-a-grams as well:


Of course I can't do it because I'm nonmember, but you members should go give it a try! Send me some Jam-a-Grams! >:D

Another glitch that was told to me by chncprincess04 is how to type a moving phantom emote inside someone's Jammer Wall by using the free chat glitchSimply use the glitch to type:


Press POST and if you're a member, you should be able to see the emote!

I tried doing this as a nonmember and it didn't work on my screen, but my member friend said it did for them. Try it out yourself!

• • • •

Before I go, I have sort of an announcement to make. Because of being busy with school, I'm putting Buddy of the Month and Berry the Koala on hold for a little while. I want to focus more on making big posts on Animal Jam Stream but I need to take a little off my back for that to work out well for me AND my grades. 

I'm not completely stopping Buddy of the Month or Berry the Koala. I'm just taking a little break from them!

I hope you can understand and thanks for keeping Animal Jam Stream such a positive place! :D

See you in Jamaa! (>^-^)>

Unreleased Items + Graham's Disappearance?


Hey Jammers! The new item of today is sold in the Astronomy Shop, located in Sol Arcade:


I really love that tapestry. I really love tapestry items in general, actually! Animal Jam needs more of those.

In other news, have you seen that Graham's Workshop has been removed from the party list?


I remember when Graham said something like "Graham's Workshop is updated frequently, so check back soon!" despite there having been no change since its release. 

Well, it was updated to make getting bamboo and wheat easier, but there were no changes to what items you could craft. Either way, it seems like saying "Graham's Workshop is updated frequently" is just to get you to come back again and again. Kind of dishonest, in my opinion. :\

Some unreleased items have been spotted in AJHQ's new Fantasy Castle on the Epic Dens list!


Some unreleased plushies, plants, and instruments have been spotted in this den! Here are all the ones I've seen:










The plushies are definitely unreleased, along with the violin and barn, but I'm a little unsure about the plants and horseshoes. Can someone with a little more knowledge of items help me out?

That's all for now, Jammers. See you in Jamaa!
