Land History: Coral Canyons

Coral Canyons is a very popular land today. It's second place players logging on are sent if Jamaa Township is full. It contains Epic Wonders, the rarest store after the Diamond Shop. And it's the center for flying animals with it's store Royal Ridge. But while many believe it's always been around, it hasn't. It was released right after beta testing ended.

The bridge going form Sarepia Forest to Coral Canyons was blocked by a stack of boxes, and as a gift to all jammers, the new land was released.

 

When it was released, it the only room was the Art Studio. There was nothing behind the waterfall.

 

It did have one store, though. It was at the stand where the Den Depot is today. It was called Coral Corner.

 

This shop sold a lot of items that are considered beta today.

 

 

A little before it's deletion in July 2011, a sale sign appeared in front of the store, and all items went on clearance (see above images).

The stand was left empty for a while, then the Den Depot replaced it.

 



 

After a while, construction began behind the waterfall. A wooden gate appeared.

 

When it opened, it looked just like the epic wonders you know today, though not as many items. This was AJ began to become more commercialized.

 

 

For years, nothing happened there. Except new games being added, it stayed the same. Then eagles were released.

 

 

Within weeks, a new store was released above the Den Depot that could only be accessed by flying animals. It's known as Royal Ridge.

There was a temporary glitch that allowed jammers to get to Royal Ridge without an eagle, but it was soon fixed.
  And now you see the wonderful land today.

The Origin of Zios

Everyone has heard of Zios, the creator of Jamaa. But has anyone thought of his origin?

Compare this:

 

To this:

 

Zios was inspired by the Incan sun god Viracocha. Although this debates my theory of where Zios and Mira got their names.

 

Oh well. It's pretty interesting, though.

More Spring Flowers + Phantom balls?

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO......

 

(Read yesterday's post on why this makes me sad)

 

 

I hate you bracelet.

 

 

Anyway, more interesting news!

 

WHOA....

 

 

There's about five glitches happening at the same time, but one is most noticeable. The currency.

What is that thing, some sort of phantom swirl?

We don't know...

Part Three of Jamaa's Legends was released today. Click the image to read it!

Flower Crown VS Spring Flower Crown

As many of you already know, the new Spring Flower Crown isn't exactly ... new. Lets start with the basics: it's members only, sold in Jam Mart Clothing for 500 gems.

Okay, so it is new, and it hasn't ever been released before, but compare it to this:

The original flower crown is a little more complex, using tulips instead of generic flowers, with leaves and daisies poking out of the front, while the new Spring Flower Crown is a circlet of recolored daisies with a vine poking out of the front. They're both members only, and the same price, so if buying one, I'd recommend the original flower crown. Here are some pictures of violet86271 modeling both of them.

The Spring Flower Crown looks a little weird.

That's all for today, jammers. Till next time,

Play Wild + Enchanted Earth + Feathermania

Hey, guys. Todays new item is the feather earrings:

 

As pointed out by bugzy109's blog, The Animal Jam Screech, we recently got another feathered item in the diamond shop, the feather tail. Could this mean headdresses are returning?

 

Now for some more exciting news....

Remember when we got this weird glitch?



 

This was mostly answered when Spring Bunnies were released a couple weeks ago.

 

 

But our minds kept going back to this image that we saw.

 

The bunny in the corner looked strangely familiar, and even though we haven't had any more updates yet, we did have a rather interesting news article.

 

 

So Wild Works and AJHQ are making a series of toys based on AJ avatars.
But there's more in this article that catches your eye...

PLAY WILD IS BEING RELEASED IN JUNE!
It's currently going to be free, and for iOS and Android. Although there is no membership, there will be additional animals available for purchase with real money.

Exciting day!

Beach House + Den contest + Cheetahs!

Update Thursday!

We were right! Welcome the Beach House to your collection because this den is epic! It gives your own private beach, pool, deck, waterslide, cliff, patio, and much more! Awesomepanda868 has kindly unlocked her den so be sure to check it out!

I personally like the excavation site best, and the mechanical future the least. The sand castle is okay, I guess. Make sure to vote soon!

Never really liked cheetahs much, but the video is cute.

 

 

OMG WE KNOW ALREADY

 

Anyway, I'd give this update three and a half stars.
