Hello everyone! So for Topic Tuesday we will be finding the most useless land in Jamaa, and we will look at each land, NO OCEANS, and then rate it on the usefulness meter on 1-10.
This is from this post.
Let's start it off by talking about Kimbara.
Or Kimbara Outback. I don't know.
Okay, so Kimbara is interesting. We need to ask ourselves something. Was Kimbara necessary? Was it made because we desperately needed the land? Or was it just filler?
It is a cool place. But here's what we have.
The Hospital. You can buy some items and animal roleplay. Not a bad place.
We also have Outback Imports, which is a cool shop, and what I love about it is it actually changes.
Shops like the Sol Arcade, Balloosh's shop, shops at any party, they get boring because they're the same, and because you can always buy them no one wants them. But there's actually a circulation, and new items at this place. There is a definitive, good reason to come here.
Unfortunately, that's pretty much it. You can buy a pet and play Spot On, but there really not that much. So my usefulness final rating is:
4.
Next, we have Sarepia. Not Saperia. It's a forest, and I'd say this is a needed and necessary land.
It's a wild place. When you're in town, you can trade and stuff, but here you can actually mimic animals in a cool setting. And there are a LOT of games and pets. A LOT.
On top of all that, we have the campfire.
You dance around it and it goes BOOM. Just like the ice in Mt. Shiveer and bridge in Coral Canyons, which we will get to.
ON TOP OF THAT, we have a Movie Theater with many movies and two more games!
And a shop with A LOT OF COOL STUFF. This shop is one of the shops that cannot be accessed from the map.
And, and we have the Flag Shop.
So I was ranting before about how shops in which items don't change are boring. Well, that's not 100% true, because if you want to represent mostly any country, or whatever, you can pick up a flag for relatively cheap. The difference is whenever you need a flag you can just come here, this shop has a purpose!
The shop itself is actually huge, as well, and well decorated.
And, and we have slides. Those are a clever addition.
And two more shops.
This one, which no one likes, and this one...
Treetop Gardens. THIS IS A FANTASTIC SHOP. It has a purpose, it has circulation, and there's a good reason to come here.
And so Sarepia Forest is a great place to be.
Oh, and lastly, the roleplaying. People love roleplaying, and it gives this place a purpose. Not to say how I feel about that, I've tried it a bit, but I think that's cool that this place is actually used. You don't see people roleplaying really anywhere else, besides here and their dens. This is a model land for other lands. So my usefulness rating for Sarepia Forest is:
9.
Okay. Mount Shiveer! So. We have the ice.
The ice is fun. I spent my first hour on Jamaa there, as I said yesterday. It's kind of just a silly aspect of AJ, and it's super fun when there are many people.
We have the Hot Cocoa Hut. This is what I think is the main reason you'd ever come to Mt. Shiveer. There's cool items, sometimes RIMs. And there's Hot Cocoa! It's a fun place to have a chat!
There is a slide as well. It's a cool place to look around. But there's VERY LITTLE TO DO. Sure, you can come here, but in sharp contrast to Sarepia Forest you do not come here on purpose. You come here when you can't find the RIM, or basically, the Hot Cocoa Hut. That's all there is. And it's a shame, THERE IS SO MUCH SPACE UP THERE, and they could've put a lot of stuff, but there's nothing.
So my final usefulness rating for Mount Shiveer is:
3.
Jamaa Township. The gem. It's really hard not to give Jamaa Township because it where AJ has put a lot of work into. Whenever you log in, sure, you can show up anywhere, but this is where AJ is most likely to put you. And that's why most people advertise their things there.
Unless you're in Aldan, and it's a busy day, you will NEVER see this in Mount Shiveer.
You have the Mira Statue. It's just a fun, quiet place.
The billboard, which has changed over the years and I don't really use it anymore, but it's cool.
Want to play a game? Go here. A needed place.
The diamond shop. As a Blogger, I am in here frequently, because this place is updated weekly. This is a really good reason to come here.
Is this place dead? Yes. But it has stuff in there. It's a place to enter and go into.
We also have Ducky Dash and Jamaa Derby.
And the good ol' pillow room. This place is ALWAYS going strong.
But most importantly, if you have a fun thing, if you decked out your den for Hide and Seek, you are NOT going to Mount Shiveer to advertise. Most likely you are coming here!
And Jamaa Township is just so busy, and even though AJ puts you there a lot when you enter a server by default (unless Jamaa Township is full) it's a cool place! It is needed and something extremely important. It would be weird if they removed this place. This is where everyone congregates. If you are recording something with a friend, you do not go here. (Or you go to an empty server)
My final rating for usefulness Jamaa Township is:
10.
Yes, I hate to give it that. I do. But there's just a lot to do here. And AJ made it that way.
Balloosh! The land that they added a little while back and still feels new.
So yeah, you can go on the roof of the shop.
They have generic items. There's just no real reason for these items, and there's no rarity since they never leave so this shop isn't all that interesting.
But besides, just looking around, what is there? It's a cool place, but what is there? THERE IS NO REASON TO COME HERE.
Which explains all the people here. Lol. Anyway. My final rating is...
WAIT. THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE!
Yeah, you can buy armor...
Look at the spiky ferrets... but mostly...
We have these pieces of paper! When Juno came out, it was a necessity. Is Balloosh a needed place now? No. But the temple definitely is a small reason to go there. And you can learn about extinct animals. So because of these pieces of paper, Balloosh is more interesting
So my final usefulness rating actually is:
5.
Please also note I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm not up to date. If I'm missing some obvious thing everyone does in Balloosh, or something, please tell me. Lol.
So Appondale is small. A nonmember land den is as big as Appondale.
And there is a mud pit.
The mud pit is a cool thing, I relate it to Mt. Shiveer's ice thing and the bridge in Coral Canyons in that it's just a fun thing to quickly do while you're there.
We have some games. Fruit Slinger is an amazing game though, by the way. (It's basically Angry Birds)
A weird shop, which is actually kind of creepy.
You can draw.
OH. And you can donate to animals. I have no idea how this works, but the Conservation Museum is a needed place, I feel. A place to learn about creatures, and donate, and feel good, was needed.
And movies and stuff. It is a small reason to come to Appondale.
Oh, and another is the pet paradise!
And they have some items... The pet cardboard castle is cool.
But if you need a pet, coming here or the diamond shop is not unusual. It's a cool place, and it does have some uses. There are a few reasons to come here. So my final usefulness rating is:
5.
First of all, this land is huge.
There's an incredible attention to detail by AJ.
Look, you click these flowers and they dance and change colors. I love that.
There's frogs and Falling Phantoms, and Falling Phantoms is easily one of the most popular games.
A base camp entrance. Eh.
Chamber of Knowledge. This is a cool place to explore. You can also get out of the Basement of Secrets here.
And, they sell stuff, but most importantly, stone den portals, which are kind of cool. They also have some statues.
Also, the Forgotten Archive.
Cool stuff to read.
Weird Zios and Mira merchandise.
And it's located under this thing, and it looks cool. And if you sleep around here phantoms comes out like where you dance around the campfire in Sarepia Forest. A nice addition.
And. Brady's Lab.
Come explore, watch movies...
Chill with the rich people of AJ.
This is a cool place. My usefulness rating for Temple of Zios is:
7.
And... Coral Canyons. First of all, lots of pets and games.
And we have Best Dressed, which is one of the most popular games.
EPIC WONDERS, which is one of the best shops in Jamaa! (It's a fact, not an opinion)
YOU CAN DO ART.
There's a small paint shop, not too popular but cool.
We have a den shop. There are many places to do this but this is fun.
And then there's Royal Ridges, which is meh.
And we have a bridge!
This bridge, as you know, looks like it's going to collapse if enough Jammers get on it, a fun addition.
Wild Explorers is one of the most colorful and fun places in Jamaa, and it's great for all ages.
You can drink from the waterfall.
And, if you go on Aldan to Coral Canyons, you have many rare people. It's a silly place.
One last thing I need to establish is the sky.
It's beautiful, no one uses it, and there's a LOT more than you think.
With Wild Explorers, the art, and Epic Wonders, Coral Canyons is a place in Jamaa to go. There's constant updates to Epic Wonders, lots of people to trade with, and if you want to draw a picture that's the to go place. This gives me my final usefulness rating of Coral Canyons which is:
8.
I would like to see a little more in Coral Canyons but for now AJ work on other lands.
I would like to see a little more in Coral Canyons but for now AJ work on other lands.
And lastly, Crystal Sands. So you've all seen it. But basically...
Lots of water. It's a fun place to just kind of look around, and hang out. It has a cool atmosphere.
We also have the aquarium.
And if you haven't completely looked around here, I recommend you do, some of the things are cool.
And Tierney is interesting. The videos can be cool though.
Something I think is special to Crystal Sands is the slides.
Yes, Mt. Shiveer and Sarepia Forest do have slides, but Crystal Sands are the most welcoming and most fun.
There are also many pets and games.
And you can access the pet stop. But you can from your menu anyway... So... Eh.
And we have a Juice Hut. AND WE HAVE A CLAW MACHINE. There are some around Jamaa, there was one in the movie hut in Sarepia Forest actually.
But here's the thing about Crystal Sands, THERE ARE NO SHOPS.
So why would you even go there? Even thought the Juice Hut is a great place to relax a bit...
And, not to pick my preferences off of this, but read this...
This is a reason that Crystal Sands isn't completely dead. It fills up on Aldan and people are constantly trading there when Coral Canyons and Jamaa Township are full.
Crystal Sands is a place I go to kind of just mess around, I rarely go to Crystal Sands habitually, and while it's tropical, and cool, there are no shops at all. However, it's more welcoming than Mount Shiveer, so you'll probably find more Jammers at Crystal Sands. And, there are more people in Crystal Sands anyway because of the thing above. And so my usefulness rating for Crystal Sands is:
5.
This would be lower if there were less people there. But it's a nice place to meet some people.
So there we have it. Let's tally up the results. What's the most useless place in Jamaa?
USEFULNESS OF EACH LAND IN JAMAA
1. Jamaa Township - 10
2. Sarepia Forest - 9
3. Coral Canyons - 8
4. Temple of Zios - 7
5. Balloosh, Crystal Sands, and Appondale - 5
6. Kimbara Outback - 4
7. Mt. Shiveer - 3
Which makes the most useless land in Jamaa...
Mt. Shiveer!
Because there is only ONE place to go into, and even though the Hot Cocoa Hut is good, it's not that good. If they took the Hot Cocoa Hut out of Mount Shiveer I would have no reason to go there. It is a cool place and great place to look around, but it's useless. ADD TO MOUNT SHIVEER AJ! If I went to every land and did everything that each land had to offer, I would be done with Mount Shiveer way faster than any other land. And I almost gave Mt. Shiveer a 2 but the Hot Cocoa Hut is pretty cool.
Note: Jamaa Township is not my favorite land, I just think it's the most useful.
I could've gone into music, and stuff, but I'll do that some other time. OOOHHH, MUSIC. I should talk about that, some songs are really good. (Mount Shiveer would steamroll our top three lands easily)
Also, these are my opinions. I'm not really an expert, but hopefully I'll get there. But if I missed something I'm sorry. And feel free to share your favorite and least favorite lands down in the comments! Tell me what you think! I might rethink these in a few months, too...
