Tetherball & Graham Ad

Today we have another fun den game in Jam Mart Furniture, the Tetherball!

That game is fun in real life.

I also have found another AJ ad in an NGK Magazine. Click here for the old ones. The one I have just found is from October 2010! That is really old, just before I started playing! Here is a photo of it, click it for a bigger size:

The mood of Animal Jam was just so much better back then, you know what I mean? It was wild, exotic, you felt like you were in another world. But human items just completely ruin that. I wonder where exactly AJHQ took the wrong turn... Probably somewhere around the time when Gloves were first resold.

I also received a note from AJHQ.

Good advice. We should be really nice to new players, show them around. Maybe give them a few things you don't want. I remember the first day I played AJ, I was so overwhelmed. It seemed so big!

Oh, and I have finally achieved a Freedom outfit for my Koala.

See? Nonmembers can have cool outfits, if they work hard enough. Also about Koalas, I have started writing a mini story about their adventure. So keep viewing!

Party Today & Crystal Sands Ad

Yet again, AJHQ made the new item in the hard-to-access Lucky Party. It's probably one of the green den items from last year.

But, don't forget, my birthday party on AJ is today! It will be at 2:00 PM EST today. Adjust that time to your timezone, with a parents help if necessary. Here are the full details:

Date: March 10, 2013 (Saturday)
Time: 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time
AJ Room: Starting in Lost Temple of Zios
Server: Rocky
What to Wear: Any items you think are from Ancient Jamaa!
Host: BlueGecko

Remember, daylight savings doesn't start until tonight, so it will not affect the party time. (I got messed up in my last post.)

I know you guys are probably getting pretty bored with this blog, as we haven't had a good side topic for a while. I'll try to keep making them, even when AJHQ makes it difficult to find items. So, today's side topic is another AJ ad, this time in the 2011 Nat Geo Kids Almanac. Click for larger size:

As you can see, this is where the "explore2012" code came from. I got this Almanac for free in early 2011 when I bought a one year Membership for Animal Jam (my first membership). Back then one year Memberships cost $60.00, but you got a free Almanac, so it was a better deal than today's $50.00 membership. But that's another day's side topic.

Hope all of you come to my party! Let's try to make the room full!

Fall Festival Ad

Yet again, I can't find the new item. It's probably in the Paradise Party, which just makes it difficult for bloggers.

For today's, um, main topic, we have another Animal Jam ad for the Nat Geo Kids Magazine. This one is from September 2011. It came with the code festival, which no longer works. Click image for larger size:

This ad is absurd. Look closely at the animals, they look terrible. Then, do you notice the zebra? This about four months before horses were released. Stuff like that, as well as the zebra in Epic Wonders, makes me think AJHQ was planning to release zebras, but changed their minds to horses at the last minute.

Remember to comment, and we are now at 57 followers!

Underwater HDTV & Freedom Ad

I'm back! Sorry a little later than I expected. Remember to keep viewing Jammer Central on a daily basis!

Today we have a new Underwater HDTV. It's cool, but very few people even use an underwater den. AJHQ should stop wasting their time on this stuff and make land den items. It is in Sunken Treasures, in Kani Cove.

And yes, I will be continuing my side topics! Today we have another Animal Jam ad from an NG Kids Magazine (scroll to posts below for more ads.) This ad is from June/July 2011. Click for full size:

It came with the code "Celebrate" that you can see on the bottom of the page. This was released around the time of the second Freedom Party, when Crystal Sands was turned into a water park. Nevertheless, this was probably the high point in the trading system. It was a very fun time to be playing Animal Jam. Actually, you can try to play the game on that picture. Tell me if you solve it! Try the others, too, if you want.

Hat and Curly Wig & Racing Ad

Today we have a very well known nonmember rare... the Hat and Curly Wig! It is in Jam Mart Clothing, as always. It was first released in February 2011 to celebrate President's Day (a USA holiday).

The is also a new News Crew Assingment! Click here to read more.

For today's side topic, we have (another) Animal Jam ad from a National Geographic Kids Magazine. This one is also from the May 2011 issue, just another page. Click for full size:

This ad came with the code Speedy, which no longer works. I like it because you can see Sir Gilbert racing with other average Jammers. Also, can you see the two green geckos? At that time AJHQ put geckos everywhere in Jamaa! (In case you are wondering, I had the username geckoguy before I new there were any geckos in Jamaa).

Cherry Tree & Koala Ad

Today we have the amazing... Cherry Tree! These were one of the biggest items when they were first released in (2011?). They are normally sold in March for Lucky Day, I wonder why they are out so early this year. Whoops, almost forgot, they are in Jam Mart Furniture.

For today's side topic, we have an Animal Jam ad that was in a National Geographic Kids Magazine, in May 2011. Click for full size:

This ad came with the code "Hammock", which no longer works. As you can see, AJHQ was still in their Gecko Phase, haha. Are you enjoying these images?

New Login & Activity Book

The first thing you notice when you go to the Animal Jam website, is a new login box!

I like the new Play button, I can find the graphics if you want me to. To enter a code you have to click the check box. Now I have to update my Codes Page. There is also a new font for the page tabs. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the new item. It is probably at the Friendship Party.

As for today's side topic, I will show you my Animal Jam Wild Book of Activities. It came in the same NG Kids Magazine as the poster I showed you yesterday. Click for full size:

 Sorry those photos look so unprofessional! As you can see, it was two page book. It was free, so that is expected. It also came with the code, Gorilla. Thanks for reading!

Pink Treasure & Animal Jam Poster

Today the new item is in Sunken Treasures, the Pink Treasure. Very Friendship Festival-ish!

Also, it has come to my attention that Snowyclaw has the banner I found on her blog...? Well, I'll give her the benefit of a doubt and say she somehow found it somewhere else.

Anyway, today's side topic is about Animal Jam posters. Yes, there is an AJ poster! Before 2012, advertisements for Animal Jam came in every issue of the National Geographic Kids Magazine. In summer 2011, a special ad came out, in the form of a poster. I still have that poster hanging on my wall to this day! Here it is:

It came out right after Appondale and Elephants were released. At that time, this poster had every animal in Jamaa, except for Seals. Cool, huh?
