new jammer wall thing... i have no idea what to call it :)

hello my little stars fuzzy
 hear and  This post is about some unused Jammer Wall features as well as some small changes I noticed between updates. Some pictures in this post were taken from AJHQ's tutorial video which can be found > HERE < 

In the original video the Jammer Wall icon was to the right of the Parties icon where the gems are now

When the update was released publicly, Jammer Wall was moved to be in between Buddies and the Newspaper

The video showed 28 usable emotes while the release only has 21 usable emotes. Here is how the emote window looked in the video

This is how it looks now

The confused, lovesick, queasy, rainy, hearts, broken heart, and sword emotes were taken away as options. Since those emotes aren't all on the same row it's likely that AJHQ specifically chose to remove those emotes. They probably didn't want people to use Jammer Wall like a dating site and didn't want people being mean by spamming the queasy emote all over your wall (which means they are calling you gross)
I'm assuming they left out the sword emote so people don't take it the wrong way and start fighting or something, but if that's the case I think they should've removed the angry emote and brought back confused or rainy. Maybe I'm just looking into this too much and they were just random emotes

In the video, newly posted messages showed "0 minutes ago" as their post time

When Jammer Wall was officially released, the post time for new posts was "Just now ago"

That got fixed shortly after. It currently says "Just now" for new posts


It's not really much of a change but I think I prefer "0 minutes ago" for no particular reason or "just now ago" because of how stupid it sounds lol

There was another slight change from the early version in the video and the final release. In the options window that lets you choose who can post on your wall, the top option said "No One"

Now it says "Nobody"

Like I said, it's just a slight change. I'm probably the only one who noticed that because I watched that video like 90 times for this post lol

The preview wall in the membership ad showed that adding a custom name to your wall was originally going to be possible



If you can't read the title on the picture, their wall is named "The-Pink-Princess"

The preview in the newspaper is a bit different than the one on the original membership ad. For the most part the text is exactly the same, but the title is different. This preview wall's title is "awesomejammer2015" which was one of the people who commented in the AJHQ video

Unfortunately this could mean that custom names for your wall was a scrapped idea : (


Another feature that was shown in the preview but we never got is the option to display your animal's name instead of your username. Precious Happyflower is using their animal name while ElectroSquid is using their username. It's unknown if this was intended to be an option or if everyone's name other than yours was going to have their name displayed as their animal name. Either way, it's still an unused feature. It was probably removed due to the fact that if you click on someone who commented on your wall, it takes you right to their playercard. That being said, there's no point in hiding the other players' usernames

Yet another unused feature shown in that preview is clothing on the animal pictures. Right now, your animal shows up with no clothes no matter what you have on. In the preview, ElectroSquid's polar bear has a clover tie, shamrock glasses, and presumably a clover balloon. Clothing will most likely be added to the animal pictures in the next update

The newspaper version of the preview showed off another unused feature! Take a look at the bottom of the image above. There's a bubble that says "New Message" with an arrow next to it. I'm assuming this was meant to appear when someone comments on your wall when you're already viewing your wall. If that feature is already in the game I haven't been able to see it yet, but I'm pretty sure it's unused
It's also worth pointing out that in the preview, the time stamps are abbreviated. They all say "15 min ago" while in the released version "min" isn't abbreviated

That's all I found from looking at both previews and the video. If you noticed something I didn't, please tell me in the comments

While not changed or unused features, here are a couple more things I noticed in the video
The account being used to record the video was ajfangirl. You might notice that she's a member


However if you search the username, the account is a nonmember. She doesn't have the membership achievement but instead has two random achievements (which probably doesn't mean anything)


The lack of membership/ and membership achievement makes me believe AJHQ deleted the original account after the video was made and someone else made a new account copying the outfit
The other usernames shown in the video don't show up in search results which supports my guess that the accounts were deleted


I would think someone would've made new accounts with those usernames by now too but maybe they're unavailable. If that's really the case though, why was the name ajfangirl available? Perhaps that really is the account used in the video but we'll never know because I highly doubt AJHQ would answer such a question lol

thx for reading my post and blog FUZZY OUT
