Animal Jam was a significant part of my childhood, with countless hours spent journeying through the forgotten desert. These trips were made even more special by discovering treasured items, such as spiked collars. But now, the thrill of exploration and the thriving in-game economy has been severely impacted, with spike collars no longer being a prize. 

The absence of these items has caused an inflation in their value, with black longs becoming excessively expensive. This has taken away the joy of trading, a vital part of the gaming experience. My proposal is for the game developers to re-introduce spike collars into ground chests in the forgotten desert, which cannot be accessed by ending the adventure automatically. By doing this, we can restore the balance of the trading economy and reintroduce the thrill of the hunt in the exploration we cherished. 

If you remember the excitement of finding a treasured item, or if you've felt the impact of this change on your game experience, join me in calling on the game developers to bring back the spike collars to the ground chests. Together, we can rekindle the fun and dynamic in-game economy of Animal Jam. Sign this petition to support its return.
