I will show you all of the stuff in the beta days! Lets start with the beta den!
You can see here the beta den was big. It was three floors high. You can see the furniture was sorted into three categories. Furniture, (We use that one today) pictures and last, Wallpaper and floor. These are some of the furniture items in the beta times. The robot and books were beta. The pillow was called pink mat. And the nat geo banner and wall sconce looked different.
Awesome huh?
Lets look at the temple of Zios. Instead of the Zios sculpture, it was a monkey! Also note the game icons were signs instead of the controllers. Everything else was the same. I THINK.
This is how you would design your animal. First off, notice the colour, eye and pattern tabs were different. And also the colors were different too. These were the early colors and I'm not sure we have all of them now. Probably not. Also there was a clear button and the nametag was different. The writing was in the signature animal jam style and you couldn't customise it. If you were paying attention they had different colour paw print icons. Well, gotta start somewhere!
In my opinion this was better than it is now. Notice the wolf is in beta colours. Also notice the branches! You would lose gems all the same if you hit the branch. Usually the gems make patterns. These gems are in a straight line. They are never like that now!
Look at this you can see in crystal sands it was a LOT different. First, notice Captain Melville's juice hut is smaller and looks different.
This is the full crystal sands. Instead of a water park it looked like a real beach! Look at the tiki statues, the cliffs and caves, especially the one that looks like Sir Gilbert! Looks cool?
Let's have a peek at Sarepia forest. First, you can see there was a huge mushroom right here!
There wasn't much to do in Sarepia. That's right, just a plain old forest. There was no termites, no fireflies, no squirrels, no snails, no games, no nothing really.
You see it SORT OF looked like Jamaa township except there is a big stone where Jamaa central is!
This was one of the achievements during beta. Wonder what it is for...
This is the beta club geos. It was the same except it was switched around! So was Jam-mart but I can't get a pic.
Look at the old Jamaa journal. Look at the bottom. They had page numbers. All of this looks neat and trim. And there was Jammer quotes. It WAS sink-your-teeth-into news.
Oh come on AJ, ASK A SHAMAN??? You couldn't keep that? I would love to ask Peck what art she likes to do.
Yes, Skullies. It was the only tail item in beta, the cheapest item EVER, and soon the rarest. It was only available in one colour and it would go on your tail. I dunno where. Why did they delete it?
1. It looked inappropriate on pandas
2. It caused glitches
3. It was scary (Why the heck?)
4. It was the cheapest item in the game
5. It was the only tail item
6. It became the rarest item in the game because I think some stage in beta they were on clearance which is why...
7. It was the only rare item in betas.
Sorry for big spaces, it's the picture's fault! I used to have one of these but it got scammed by a VERY clever scammer. (I knew a scam when I saw one, I thought it was one because that's what a best decline is, but then he/she said someone was winning. I traded fox hat, frog, Mech helmet and medusa mask for jam on. She accepted and I was stuck with crappy music. But enough.)
Anyway, let's go on to this item and where they got it from. Cami was a young girl and her dad worked for smart bomb. He picked "Froggy" out for Cami. Froggy was Cami's favourite toy and she slept with Froggy every night. Later she was diagnosed with Leukemia but she survived. Cami's dad decided to put Froggy into animal jam.
Of course Cami had Froggy in animal jam! Here is nouse20 with Froggy. (I think that's Cami.)
These were only some of the beta Jamagrams.
So everyone got a 30 day membership! (They could have done it without them)
