Animal Jam (No, I am NEVER calling it "Animal Jam Classsic". Gawd, why would they ever do that? It's ANIMAL JAM and ANIMAL JAM: PLAY WILD.) is an educational MMO developed by WildWorks, launched in 2010 in partnership with National Geographic Kids (Though it's no longer associated with NatGeo). It's recommended for kids up to 12, but I still play it, as do many others.
I started playing... A long time ago. Early 2010s, I want to say. I first got membership in 2016, recieving the Meerkat furniture bundle (which I still have!) I don't remember much of these early days firsthand, but things are quite different these days! Both within the "culture" of the playerbase, and game-wise.
Many of the assets used in this shrine are taken from the lovely folks at The Animal Jam Archives!
