Best Times to Get Your AJ Membership

Hello jammers and welcome back to another post, in todays post I am going to be talking about the best times a year to getting your animal jam membership if you are planning on getting one. First of all a few days ago was 4th of July and the party for that has arrived! But literally it is basically the most boring party ever, because the whole entire thing is walking from one end to another in just 3 steps, nothing really interesting to buy, unfasinating fireworks, and the room is always so crowded because there is not even enough room for all the jammers to sit and watch.
Anyway on to todays topic, obviously the best times are when they have membership sales, which usually occur close to any holidays, yet they remain the same price but you get bonus diamonds, which most jammers want the most anyway. Another time is when they marked down the prices on the membership for a monthly fee, such as now for the year, you can pay 4 bucks per month to be a member for one year. A great time is during christmas, usually that tends to be the longer lasting sale because of the holiday its self and black Friday are all in the same month. Finally a really good time to get is to ask your parents for either your birthday or christmas, depending which one is better, for me I might decide to get more membership on my birthday since mine expires this October.
So don't forget to look for those great opportunities

Pigs are Here

Hey jammers me here iceskating112 and today I am back with another update, today animal jam has added pigs, or at least in the last couple days I have not been on. In this update they are five diamonds, non member, and is perfect animal to get for anybody especially because it is cheep and cute. The pig update is like a legit update that animal jam has added and I am super happy they made it non member, its nice to see the non members smile and glad to finally get another option of animals and I think animal jam should defiantly keep making new non member animals and maybe make at least the first whole entire row available for all. Anyway here is what the look like:

A Problem About Mailtimes

Hey jammers today, is a post about problems in animal jam, one problem that I am going to be focusing on is mailtime. Mailtime is what jammers do to receive gifts from other jammers. This may be exciting for many jammers, but the truth is it has an effect on many other jammers, as you can see there is an endless list of mailtimes that people post on youtube, you can probably go through at least 10 pages of results. Though the truth is some jammers feel really jealous and may get there greedy hands on rares by trying to scam once they see that a jammer got a good item or something. Not only can the get jealous but, for some jammers they can get stressed if they don't receive that awesome spike that someone else got, they get mad, take it out on others, and may even quit because they focus on getting free rares without understanding that you have to work to get those rares, they just appear unless you are some super famous but even still the famous jammers like, bepper, appari, lilacpetal worked hard on making their channels a success, some people who are famous today has bee through a lot of blame haters and drama. So mostly the person who is in charge of making these evil mailtimes is julian2 who has many haters and fans. Though some people like doing it for their birthday and many people who do mailtimes don't realize that it can hurt other people. For example I was doing my 13 birthday mailtime and waited my friend gifted me a diamond spike, but then I didn't realize that other jammers can feel bad about themselves, if they found out, and some did. I have to admit sometimes I am jealous that when people get gifted spikes or win giveaways and watch people get gifted a good item.

How to Get Diamonds Quickly + Tips to Spend Your Diamonds Wisely!

Hey guys today I would like to talk about how to spend your diamonds wisely and efficiently so you can purchase the things you wish!

1. save the diamonds from diamond Tuesday
2. do daily spin everyday or as much as you can because if you land on diamonds then you can get x3 
3. sometimes it helps if you send a complaint to AJHQ on the contact us button so then they give you diamonds if you have not seen my post on that here it is: http://animaljamfans4ever.blogspot.com/2016/03/how-to-get-free-diamonds-in-animal-jam.html
4. Then when something interesting just use those diamonds to get what you want then re save if necessary!

Nows here are some suggestions on how to use them wisely!

1. Only buy items that you really/need want, not what you want for other reasons such as the claw machines, do you really need every single kind for what it worth the three diamonds?
2. save them for the dens or animals or pets which is the biggest part and most popular spent on
3. try to make a goal like I will always have 10 diamonds in my money list or some thing like that.....

I Miss Being a Non Member Sometimes!

Like many people, they say being a member is so cool and they get so much! but the truth is I kind of miss being a non member somedays because once I got my membership after a few weeks I kind of realized that the game is more interesting as a non member and that being blocked from many things, looking up to members, not having to worry about the big competitiveness of being the rarest jammer, collecting plushies, and going to random dens. Those things always very much entertained me but ever since I got my member I was getting so competitive about being the rarest jammer that I actually got mean jam a grams, got scammed which made me even more competitive and started ruining the joy out of AJ a little. That I actually quit AJ for about three months because of to much pressure of the people, the mean stuff that was going on, and people at school were teasing me about liking animal jam. Other reasons why I miss being a non member is that I think there is more things to be proud of such as when you win the best dressed, horse race, or dolphin race but, being a member all you are is I want more instead of like Yay I won I am proud.
I missed using my cute little den! When I was a non member I was very sad that I was unable to get a bigger den but, after a few months I actually really like my small house more then any other den because I think you can fit your items better, it's more cozy,  and most of all since the member dens are really big and usually have a theme then it's super hard to fill your den and make interesting. It's also hard to collect items within that theme. So the nice thing about the non member small house is that you can put so many cool items in your den in any category and make it look spectacular and your den doesn't have a theme it can be your imagination with any item!
So what I did is I switched back to my small house and put only non member items except for my den portal to make it seem more like I am still a non member. Luckily I had tan carpet to make a non member floor!
Now I am waiting for October second for when I turn back into a non member! I am going to try and keep one of my member animal though like my bird so I can easily get to places faster!

Differences of Being a Member Then a Non Member

Hey guys tonights post is about the differences of being a member compared to a non member!
So fist one big difference in my opinion is that I think it's more competitive when your a member on who can be the rarest and who can get the most beta because once you have membership you can basically have any item in your den, wear the items, which make you look rarer if you have rare items. Also another reason may because more people trade members since they think they're rare when actually I have seen rarer non members.
Another difference is that after awhile of membership you kind of start to think the game is actually more interesting as a non members in particular seem to busy trying to become rare since since they do not have as much access to things as much as members that make the game more fun and interesting because I noticed that being the rarest jammer is quite competitive especially for members.
Another difference you are very packed with many things you can have such as lots and lots of dens that are more spacious and lots of animals. I believe you can have up to 32 animals as a member. I also notice that as a member you also are more likely to spend your gems because lots of new things come out or you try and get things before the items leave such as when it had that ten days left sign.
One big difference is after awhile you forget what it is like to be a non member, even I start to forget. For example I forget that they can't dress up their pets, they can't buy as many items, they also can't have bigger dens. So sometimes I'm like why are all the non member dens small house or sunken ship? Or I am like why didn't they get the rare item Monday. That I think can actually cause bullying and is part of the reason why I hear that some non members were looked down by a member well member or non member people shouldn't do things like that. But, we hear stories like that because so many people are used to membership and having the feeling like they can have everything causes them to see someone who can't and say oh your a non member your not cool. Well that's not cool but, non member or member everyone is unique, and is a cool jammer in their own way. And that's what people forget.
Another difference is that if you have a non member friend then it makes it harder to do adventures together or talk since they don't have free chat and are unable to write their own jam a gram. Which is really frustrating at times. So I really think free write jam a grams should be a all jammer aloud thing.
So, yeah that's basically the differences! More coming soon.......

What's It's Like When You First Purchase Membership For AJ

When I first got my membership I was so excited! It was like a whole other game in a good way because everything was so different that it takes a while to get use to. It  also felt a little weird being able to access more things in the game. In my opinion I felt like I was playing on someone else's account on my first week or two. I loved getting the weekly Tuesday diamonds yet, I wasted all of them as a I was just so interested in buying all of these items. I was so amazed and a little creeped on all the dens and animals you could get it was like an endless list that that it felt as big as our universe.
And oh my god all the items you could get was just remarkable and felt like a pot of gold. I had more fun socializing with my other member friends and even my non member ones.  I also had to get use to being able to gift, receive gifts, and most of all that you could right your own jam a gram, and you get free chat instead of the chat where you couldn't even right kk but, I thought that was super handy and made me very happy. Also in adventures like lucky clovers, and the Easter one I loved being able to open the members chest which had better prizes.
The adventures were a blast I kind of got tired of the non member adventures. So I was so happy to see new challenges such as dealing with phantom lasers, phantom kings more phantoms and longer adventures. I loved the part in the search for greeley that you can disguise your self as a phantom. Not only that but it made it easier to level up your animal. In adventures you could open up more pathways such as the arctic wolf, foxes, elephants, etc. where you could collect gems or prizes on the chest.
I really enjoyed how you could customize your name tag and choose if you want to show your level or not. I just liked the look of the member; fancy name tag, nice key in the corner, nice animals, and pets. For pets I enjoyed taking them to the pet stop.
Once you get use to it though sadly the excitement dies down because it feels like less. For example as a non member your like wow members get so much but, after you have membership for awhile it starts to feel like they have less and less when they probably don't. You also start to to forget what being a non member is like. For example I went on my non member account gymnast1952 and I'm just like wow non members don't have this? I thought they did.

What It's Like Turning Back Into a Non Member In AJ

Hey guys today is a post on what it's like to turn back into a non member. So first of all everybody becomes a non member after their member ship expires but what is it like? Well I had this account called kailuaboy and so that member ship expired about a year ago and was kind of sad to see many things blocked off such as my animals, my dens, my cloths, etc. I lost the ability to get weekly diamonds, your unable to buy the things you wanted to buy, plus you won't be able to buy all the new animals that AJ puts in. Plus you'll no longer see this on your self you'll see:

Also the first thing you see is that all your member only items are took out of your den and off your animal. Then if you look in your inventory you'll notice that is has a lock on it and it will be faded in way. Although the nice thing is if you click on the animals tab then people can see all the member animals you had before. Plus the pets that you use to be able to take to the pet stop still stay on your pet but it has to be the kangaroo, the hamster, bee, etc. Yes you'll be sad to be unable to wear or have certain items. So I decided to show pictures of the account that expired. Here are some:
