Lag, Glorious Lag

Hey Jammers!

I know it's a little late to talk about the update, but I gotta few things to say.

First of all, look at my dodo:

Kingtoast is not my actual pet, because I have no diamonds, but he will be my best friend in spirit. 

Kingtoast can take the form of a bad transparent png so he may travel beyond Jamaa and into the great unknown.

While it only took me a few minutes to make the png before my wrist started cramping up, it took me a long time to make Kingtoast. 

Why, you ask?

One word: lag. 

Every time there's an update, everything gets slower and slower. I have only one tab open with Animal Jam, no programs running in the background... and still, even in an empty server, I can barely click anything.

And I'm not the only one having problems:

So, obviously this is a problem.

In my opinion, a lot of stuff in the updates doesn't need to be there. We don't really need a constant stream of new pets and animals– and having bigger gaps between introducing that kinda stuff will make it feel more special. 

Maybe it might also give AJHQ a break too, it really seems like they don't have much time at all to make new stuff. 

Also, ever since the homepage changed from the consistent Alpha image, I've always got severe lag from all the animations everywhere:

Anyone else?

So, that concludes this short post. I'm surprised that for the most part I've kept up with posting daily... wow. See you in Jamaa!
