News, Week One {Polar Bear and Gloves To Wear}

Hey guys! This is my new blog, AJ [Un]Official. I'm Raven, an Animal Jam girl who's been playing since beta. I can tell you almost everything there is to know about Animal Jam, and I'll be keeping you updated on the news. Already we have some cool stuff!

So the newspaper update came in- that's the update they give every two weeks when they bring in another newspaper. Polar Bears are here! And, no surprise, they're members only and you have to buy them with diamonds. Overall, they're pretty unimpressive. To me, they seem sort of like the rhinos when they first came out; there was a ton of hype about it, but it turns out they don't go well with the patterns or with clothes. Nevertheless, I'll be getting one when I earn ten diamonds.

On a similar topic, if you buy a membership card from now until the end of December, you get a polar bear pet! This, I'm a little bit more excited about, mostly just because pets are cute and awesome, and I'll probably be getting a three-month membership card for Christmas. Woohoo!

There's really not much else for news, other than the presents are coming soon. For those new to Animal Jam, these happen every year- each day you log in during the month of December, you get a present. I believe this continues throughout the whole month, even after Christmas. If I remember correctly, you still get a spin on the Daily Wheel, along with the present. It's pretty cool, and it's also where bows originally came from. The first bow came out two years ago, as a holiday present. They brought them in the year after, also, as one of the monthly presents. Last year, however, they did not, unless it happened on a day I couldn't log on. Considering there were only two days that I wasn't able to even stop and check, I highly doubt that there were any bows.

One extremely panic-inducing thing happened, though, not long after the update. This caused a huge outcry from Jammers, including some protests and screaming. We logged in to find that we could no longer access the normal Jamaa clothing store, Jam Mart Clothing. Many people walked into the store to buy the new gloves, but found that when they clicked on the tables, the shop was empty and their gems were marked as 0. No one had actually lost any gems, however, and contrary to popular belief, it was just a glitch. It's already gone- AJHQ got rid of the bug just a few hours ago. However, many people were yelling that the store had been robbed, or that a hacker had come in again. I'm pretty sure my brain formed a palm and just smacked the inside of my head right about then- after all, you can't exactly rob a store made out of HTML and Binary. Seriously people, learn some basic coding here.

Anyway, the store's back and the commotion's over, although I got some pretty good screenshots. Speaking of the store, however, they've come out with gloves! These come from the beta days, and now cost 750 gems each. I bought every single color, although really I only liked the one black one they had. However, that's just my personal preference, and I hope everyone thoroughly enjoys Animal Jam HQ's holiday gift to us.

Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. So there was some problems with editing which made me have to delete this post and re-post it today, but if you don't really pay attention to the post date it doesn't really matter. This was actually posted on the 20th, for those who care.
