OLD FASHIONED!

Hey guys and welcome back to another update post!

So I've decided to make an update post for the fun of it. Why not? I have nothing better to do right now, lol.

Here is the new item in stores today, helping us celebrate New Year's:

Now, since it is December, we get daily Jamaaliday gifts! And I don't now why I'm doing this, but here is today's gift.

The Snowflake balloon usually returns every year.

What do I do now? Usually, if this were 2016, I'd continue the post by adding on a segment about random stuff. Conspiracies, new features, and other things were the topics i used a lot. I have nothing else to think of right now so I think I'll end this post.

I made this post out of boredom, though also because I do want to get back into posting, and I just wanted the feeling for it again. I may be posting more in the upcoming days as I still have 4 days of winter break left. Stick around.

Catching Up Before Christmas

Hi people. Yep, back at it again with the lame and awkward post intros.

I've decided to try and make a post that catches up with you all before Christmas gets here. Let's get right into it.

Everything has been going pretty good for me lately. I've gotten a break from harder school classes and basketball season is going way better than last year. Besides that, that's pretty much all I have to say about myself lol.

What should I talk about now? Well, I do have a few topics on mind.

#1: What can we expect from The Animal Jam Spring in 2019? To be honest, I'm not sure about this. I'd really like to post regularly again or even get posts every other day that are detailed. This blog isn't all dead yet and I still have hopes for the future. Like I always say, I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. But I can't promise I'll be perfect on posting, I'm pretty lazy these days. 

#2: What about Animal Jam? This is the big question. So many people have quit and everyone is saying the game itself is getting worse. In my opinion, the game is getting a little worse based on the past few months, but I truly believe there is more in store for AJ in the upcoming years. It's a great game, even if you've grown out of it. Everyone on here has been intrigued by it at one point or another. I also don't think AJ is shutting down yet, either. It still makes good money and there are many players.
Umm... I can't think of any other topics. I guess that's about all then. Hopefully in 2019 our community can have a new Youtuber rise up and make everyone happy again. Maybe this blog itself could become the main source of AJ media! (ha, that's a joke)
To end this post, I'd like to say there is a lot more I could talk about. I just don't feel like writing any more. So...
I wish you all a merry Christmas! (or any other holiday you celebrate!)

A Common Trend

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past year, you'd have realized a common trend on AJ: everyone is quitting.
I haven't quit. I still plan on sticking til the end. I haven't posted in forever, though, and I'm working on a post to catch you all up on my life. That'll be for another time, though.
So yeah, people keep quitting. Even Aparri has quit, and he made a video about his departure. Like him or not, he had a major impact on the game and it sucks to see him go.
Bloggers have been quitting, too. Both the Youtube and Blogger communities have lost members. What's causing this?

There's two main reasons...
#1: AJ is not the same game as it was in 2014-2016. Those were probably the best years for the game overall. Today, we have worse updates, and AJHQ is focusing more on Play Wild.
#2: Older AJ players are growing out of the game. Yep, people are starting to realize life isn't just a computer game.

It's really, really sad to me to see people quit. It's not just because they were friends, or because they were good content creators, it's also because this may be the downfall of AJ. I don't want to lose this game as it has made a huge impact on my life and still does. The community doesn't thrive anymore as there are less Youtubers and Bloggers.
It just sucks. I hope that AJHQ starts putting more effort into updates, and we an get more Youtubers to start helping improve the quality of the game and community.
Anyways... I just needed to say all that.
