Yesterday evening I accomplished something I've been meaning to do with this blog for a long time: update the blogroll so it makes more sense!
Because there aren't enough blogs to merit organization by alphabet, I reorganized the blogs by posting frequency.
I also added some new blogs, so go check that out! :D
Before we begin with the AJ content, here's my second Inktober drawing:
Moving on, there is a weird new code!
I learned about it yesterday on the Animal Jam World, but decided to hold off talking about it until today, and now all the other blogs have beat me to it!
The code is PENGUINS, and it gives you... a penguin.
Apparently, penguins have been traveling for a long time, so this kinda brings them back.
Unfortunately, if you're a nonmember with two animal slots filled, you cannot be a penguin:
Mister Wonkybuddy... that name sounds so familiar, but I don't know where it's from. Hmm.
You also get a nonmember pet penguin!
Sometimes I find it weird that you can both be a certain animal and have that certain animal as a pet. o_o
This code also gives you some AJPW prizes– I think an igloo den is one of them.
Moving on...
Have any of you noticed that a lot more people have been online these past couple months? This all started during the Autumn Small House update.
Either more people are physically online, or AJ changed the server capacity so it looks like more people are online. I think the fact is that more people have been playing!
A lot of people seem to think that AJ is in decline, probably because a lot of AJ YouTubers have been way less active. However, I don't think it's a steady decline. We've had a lull in updates since the summer, and we'll continue to have sub-par updates every so often, but I think the Autumn Small House update turned a lot of things around for the better.
Moving on... (I've been typing that a lot)
Even in Sarepia Forest, the owl is feeling the Night of the Phantoms energy in the air. Nice hat!
In other news... (yes! I remembered something else to say XD)
In the past, there used to be clan role-play activity in Sarepia in every single server, but now role-play is mostly confined to Aldan.
Yesterday in Sarepia on Aldan, I witnessed modern clan warfare:
Two different groups sat in "battle lines" facing each other and aggressively advertised their groups. The group with the first new recruit wins. XD
This got me curious. Generally, people think that clans on AJ have been "over" since 2014, but I'm skeptical about that.
In the advertising battle, some groups used the fact that they have a Wiki-page as a positive thing about their group. So I did some research:
It seems that AJ clans are in no way over– they've just taken different forms.
Nowadays clans are usually server-specific, and I'm guessing that role-play might partially take place over non-AJ platforms like Discord– but then again I'm not sure.
I chose a random clan (ShadowClan) on the Wiki and it seems the most recent activity on it was a day ago! There you go, clans are still a big part of AJ.
What if I started a clan? XD
Before I go, just wanted to let you know that I have no new information about the Phantom Vortex game. It seems like most everyone has only reached level 5.
I'll try to beat the game on my own throughout this weekend, and I'll let you know when I do.
See you in Jamaa!
I reached level 8 on the game quite a few times and haven’t gotten the prize on main account. I tested it on another and it got the prize. Though the prize is also from last year, no new prize this year... I heard about the penguins code from Instagram and then posted it later that day XD
ReplyDeleteI wonder why the prize is from last year. Hmm...
DeleteI think the penguin code will help many non members who want a special underwater animal other than a Seal or Turtle.
ReplyDeleteYeah! I wonder why a lot of animals are becoming unavailable without notice (sometimes diamond animals go on clearance, like the eagle).
DeleteIt's still great that all jammers can have access to the penguin now, though. Was the pet penguin originally member's only?
Hey, if you started a clan I would totally join. A blogging clan would be fun! LOL. Hey, I didn't know about the Animal Jam World, super cool... Wow.
ReplyDeleteNice post!
Thank you! If I started a clan it would probably be really fun at first but then I'd forget it existed lol
DeleteAnd the Animal Jam World is a really great blog! It's been going on for a surprisingly long time– I can't believe I only thought to add it to the blogroll this weekend.
