Beta Days......

As mentioned in the last post, here are the picture of early beta!



Beta was the early testing mode of AJ. Beta was very different from how AJ is today.



These pictures are from VERY EARLY beta.



You can click these pictures to make them bigger!



The first picture is of the beta Jam Mart Clothing.




The room was called "Jammer Clothing" and the shop was just "Jam-Mart".



Items came in colors that don't exist today. These colors were later changed to the colors of today's AJ.



Jammer Clothing was flipped around and had a different appearance,



The next one is of the game Wind Rider:




There were large branches in the game, unlike how it is today. The number of how many gems you earned in the top corner looks a bit different. Also notice how the wolf is colored with beta-only colors.



This picture is of the game Gem Ball:




Not much changed with this game... The main difference is the X in the corner.



Next is a picture of the old Jamaa Township




It looks really different. Also, when animals used the "Sleep" action, their eyes would still be open. Also notice the bunny on the left's mask is mainly white and grey. That is a beta color of the Mask item.



Here is the entrance to the beta dens:




The beta dens were huge! They had 3 floors, and a bridge in the front. Notice that the furniture icon is different. This picture was before furniture was even out.



And the early version of Club Geoz




Just like Jam Mart Clothing, Club Geoz was flipped around. Some of the animals have beta colored Wings - They are black with white tips.



The beta version of the Temple of Zios:




Instead of the Zios stone pit, there was a monkey statue. Game icons were signs, not floating purple controllers.



And another picture of Zios:




Notice the koala has tan-ish Gazelle Horns. I forgot to mention that animals' nametags were different.



Crystal Sands




Crystal Sands looked like this since July 2011, and was then changed to a Crystal Sands with 3 water slides. There are a lot of beta colored animals in this picture. Also, leaf necklaces were brighter and only came in one color.


Sarepia Forest




Sarepia Forest was just called "Sarepia". Sarepia looked a bit different. There were different paths, and at the bottom were giant mushrooms.


And my favorite picture...




The Chamber of Knowledge was the Chamber of Mysteries. It had a different setup, and only had 2 floors. Look at the wolf with the green top hat. Epic, right? :L


Unfortunately, those are all the pictures I have... for now.
A Special Thanks to Lovelost For These Pictures!:)
