Heyo! My user is Astralium.

I love this wiki. It has been a lifesaver to me in every way. Before I found this wiki, I was being scammed and under-traded everywhere. I once traded a blue short collar away for a RIM New Year's Party Hat thinking that it was the real deal and I was getting the best trade ever. More similar things have also happened, but it'd take a college essay of a comment to describe all of them in detail. So, back to the blue short collar sob story: Some time in June two years ago, I was scammed of my blue short collar, my rarest item at that time which, with me as a non-member, took months to get. Sweating at adventures like The Return of the Phantoms in order to maybe get that one precious clothing beta or two. Relying heavily on 'giveaways', in many of which I was scammed of all the decent items I had. And merely two days after gaining that blue short, the result of blood, sweat, and tears (no, not literally), it was scammed by an outrageous undertrade involving a RIM party hat. At first I thought it was the real deal everyone was buzzing about, and that I'd gotten the best trade ever, but then the scammer, laughing, informed me of the cold truth and locked me out of their den. I was devastated and quit AJ for a long time, finally returning after a year with the determination to get back up.

Ever since I found this wiki last year, I've depended on it like it was the difference between the life and death of my Animal Jam account. Oh, how it was my AJ lifeline. Every time I played AJ, I would habitually pull up a tab of AJ Item Worth Wiki to help me trade. And it has helped me a lot. Twice, I'd narrowly avoided being scammed of an orange long collar. Fortunately, I had the good sense both times to look up the items on my trusty Item Worth Wiki, and that was the beginning of my... rise. I soon learned to avoid trust trading at all costs and examine item colors cautiously, adding more reason behind my smooth sailing nowadays.

However, without all of these dedicated people striving to improve this gem of a wiki, where would I be today? Perhaps I'd have been scammed even more, and had already quitted AJ forever. Maybe I'd be struggling in a pit of misery and wallowing around in self-pity from being taken advantage of and duped over and over. I hereby thank every contributor to this wiki, yes, anyone who made the slightest edit or the smallest post. I wouldn't be here typing this comment without you. No, I had not typed this essay only to get a spike. I had always been looking for a chance to express my feelings about this lifesaver of a wiki, and it looks like this is it! Again, thank you all so much for your contributions.
