Beta Testing

Beta Testing is when Animal Jam Headquarters (AJHQ, as it is now called) allowed members to test the game so they knew if they liked it or not. The only lands were Jamaa Township, Lost Temple of Zios, Sarepia Forest and Crystal Sands. There were no underwater features or Pets, and the only shops were Jam Mart Furniture and Jam Mart Clothing.

Jamaa Township
Jamaa Township was not very different from today's. The main difference is that the board for art and howls had green jewels on circle and a board that is near the bridge to The Lost Temple of Zios. The Mira statue is not different like now. The statue was dark blue, with Mira picking her right foot up and open her wings. Later, there were no board or green Jewels, but there were some buildings made from rock.

The Lost Temple of Zios
The Lost Temple of Zios hasn't changed that much.. The broken Zios Mask was not there, and instead, there was a Monkey statue that wore a crown with blue jewel on that crown. The Games banner was on the building with elephant statue. The path to Sarepia Forest was not there.

Sarepia Forest
Sarepia Forest looks similar to what it is now. However the Flag Shop was locked up, there were red and white mushrooms scattered around the forest floor, and Jammers were unable to go down the slide. The Sarepia Theater was around, but only had a small amount of videos to watch.

Crystal Sands
Crystal Sands was more like a real beach. Overflow was located in a different place, and Captain Melville's Juice Hut was much larger. The hut had a big wood made pineapple for logo. There was Castle that made from sand with red little flag on the top of Sand Castle. There was Totem Statue in the background and tiger-faced shaped caves. Crystal Sands actually looked like this until summer of 2011.

Player's Den
The den opened with a large bridge that connected to a three-floor house with ladders connecting the floors. If furniture is purchased, Players can place them in their den like today. There were some un-removal items that came with the den as well.

Player Appearance
The player avatar hasn't changed. The only available animals were the Tiger, Wolf, Bunny, Monkey, and Panda. The nametag for Jammers was gold, and couldn't be customized. The Jammer's information does not have Pet tab, as Pets were not available at the time. There was no choice to Trade or Mini-game options since they weren't invented yet.

Settings Button
In Beta, the Settings appeared as an alarm clock for setting a time, later to be replaced by the settings. On the bottom screen was a setting to turn the noise off.

Dress Animal Button
===Dressing your animal hasn't changed very much. The name of your animal was still above the animal, but you couldn't change the name tag color or badge. There were only 20 colors. No membership. The "change eyes" button looked white with a black line. The animal in the middle was 2D, and so were the items (the items, however, were made 3D in 2012 while the animal became 3D right after beta ended). ===
