Spirit Snaps:
Nonmember Love!

Hey Jammers! Now I realized my last post caused quite a lot of uproar about rares and members and scammers and hackers and all sorts of controversial topics. Anyways I just wanted to say sorry because I think it went a little to far in a hostile/negative direction. Anyways I figured to kind of tie into that in a more light/loving way this post is about nonmembers. I personally don't like speaking with labels such as member and nonmember however. Anyways I wanted to feature some nonmember related snaps I had received.
Thank you to jackfighter123 for sending this in.

Thank you rosierockslb for sending this in.
Thank you both for these lovely snaps of kindness! I will try to send you both something for contributing! Anyways I was thinking, I notice a bunch of jammers talking about how AJHQ is unfair to nonmembers and I suppose I just wanted to share my opinion. Sorry if I rant off a bit here hehehe. Anyways I think what some people need to take into consideration is Animal Jam at the end of the day is business, they have employees and taxes and such to pay, they need to have a way too make money. However they aren't your average snake-oil business, they donate proceeds to saving big cats which is very humbling to me knowing that my hard earned money is going to a good cost. However I feel that it is unfortunate that some families cannot afford to buy their child a membership. But then again everything I'm saying is generalized so please don't be offend by anything I say a these are not my intentions. I personally wish I could give a membership away however it is against Animal Jam policies and others would be left out. Anyways sorry for that little rant. 
Anyways I want to do a contest of some sort, so if you have any ideas leave it in the comments. Oh and continue to send in those amazing snaps to either miss.zanyfoot@gmail.com or spiritjammer@gmail.com!

Thanks for reading!

  1. I agree. Animal Jam is a very generous business and they really do try to make Jammers happy. I'm thankful to have the opportunity to play this wonderful game.

  2. I said that anyone can be a scammer, not just members, it annoys me to no end when someone says I'm a scammer, because I'm a member.
    I try to give away rares I dislike, but I also want to get what I'm looking for, and it's hard when "prices" are put on a trading system, because I tend to dislike a lot of the popular items, (Fox hats, spiked collars, ETA) and I Dislike the beta version of a lot of items, as they looks so, out of place in most dens (Particularly the Porch Swing), I for one love the new version of the Porch Swing, and I also disagree that Spikes and Founders are the best looking items

  3. I agree, animal jam is one of the BEST games for non members.

  4. It's more fair then ANY other game I've played
    (Petpet Park, Club Penguin ETA) and yet some greedy people want everything for free.

  5. Ppl shouldn't judge you for scamming just because your a member. Why, most scammers are non member (go figure right?). A lot of people judge on animaljam. For example, my animal is black and grey. Because of this many people don't hang out with me and don't want to talk to me unless it has to do with trading. I'm actually a very nice person ppl! (at least I think, I could be wrong) People also judge my animal's name, Daredevil Brave Star. People think that since I'm a girl, my name should be like idk, Enchanted Vine violet. I like my name people, deal with it. Any who, I hope that people stop calling you a scammer.

  7. Hi guys please look up the song, It took me by surprise. It is by Maria Mena. Trust me I am not scamming. Trust me it's the best song ever.

  8. animal jam should really give nms' more freedom. I mean, they can only use the mail system like, a tiny bit of it. And also, it seems as if the chat system is going to be removed also. I remember when nm's could have free chat, and send people gifts... ahh.. the old AJ is much better

  14. Be THANKFUL that we can do so much. On other games there is soooo little that you can do.

  15. I would react badly to the slightest hint of hesitance. now the good part, It took me by surprise, the hatred in his eyes. That is all for now you gotta listen to the song for the rest.

  16. Hey Jay, if your going to keep chatting about things unrelated to the topic above you should go to the chat room. Just some friendly advice. :D

    ReplyDelete
  17. Yes though i'm concerned that animal jam is going to take that "other game" route...


    I stopped loving animal jam when eagles came to jamaa, and were released in the diamond shop.

  18. An idea for a contest is who can think of the best story of where Mira is now?

    ReplyDelete
  19. Ohhhh that would be kewl. :D

    ReplyDelete
  20. Mira has been forgotten by the Alphas. She has hidden in the fire of Sarepia Forest. She wants to be known. Since the phantoms made her transform into a spirit, she couldn't simply fly into jamaa. She needed 3 jammers to see her...


    EVIDENCE-
    Forgotten by alphas- Liza doesnt tell new players about Mira


    Sarepia Forest- Obvious

  21. Im on my last day of membership! .......... Well, time to go buy a bunch of NM stuff! sad i wont have time to get a owl.... Maybe ill get another member (im trying to be positive XD)

  22. To stop the stereotypes of members being "bad" Jammers, I sometimes give away my rares and betas. I also host a lot of adventures, making sure to include anyone who joins and not kick them out. I also compliment Jammers via Jam-a-Grams. I always wonder if I've ever made any player's day.


    Also, I agree with you about the whole trading thing. I also like the revamped version of the porch swing and I cannot wait until it (hopefully) returns in time for spring. While I'm also not a fan of spikes, I do want a Founder's Hat because it's practically one of the first member items in the game and I just want a piece of history of Animal Jam from the very beginning with me everywhere I go.

  23. I have different theories on why AJHQ might have disallowed nonmembers from sending gifts:


    1. Players were using it as an unsafe way to trade, getting easily scammed.


    2. Since nonmembers can't accept gifts anyway, why not might as well make them unable to send gifts?


    3. COPPA


    The last reason might go with why we have such a strict chat restriction.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Animal Jam took to the "other game" route a while back, until they realized that Jammers care a lot about the history of Jamaa and thus, they decided to bring back the adventures.

  25. I'd enter that! Great idea!

  27. Well, I'm pretty sure she is locked somewhere in the phantom dimension. Haven't you read the Animal Jam Official Insider's guide lore?

  28. if you pay today to renew you get extra gems

    ReplyDelete
  29. I think being a nm gives you advantages as well losses. See nm don't really have a need to care about rares or betas unless someone in the beginning tells you they are important. Also as a nm you have more fun! (what i think) I am a member and I know there some awesome things, but have you ever realized we members will normally stick up for nm. So many times when new animals come out I will see jammers jump in the diamond shop saying it is unfair it isn't for nm. Animal Jam has to get money to keep the site running. Do you want it to close forever? It is like Jamma we have shops,but if those shops didn't get our money they would close. We could be normal animals and run around naked! If you really don't care about what I am saying okay, but just think.

  35. I think non-members are still MEMBERS
    because they're still MEMBERS OF ANIMAL JAM aren't they? They contribute just as much as we do. And actually more.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Nah. I agree with most of what you said ^.^

    ReplyDelete
  37. I agree with wut ur saying other than the fact about nm and betas. Im a nm and i collect betas cause i like wut they look like, not bc someone told me that they were important.

    ReplyDelete
