I don't think we should all be worrying about AJ closing right now, because Club Penguin was in much worse shape and even when Club Penguin announced they were closing, they still stayed open for a year before they actually closed (they announced their closing in like mid-2016 saying in the future they may be mobile-app only but it didn't become a reality until Jan. 2017). I think at the very least, Animal Jam definitely has a year or two left; I definitely can't really see it closing next year and I'd like to be hopeful and think they might even stay around for longer than that. You seem like a rather insightful person.

I never played CP, but from wat I hear, it seemed to be the biggest MMORPG out there.

Why did it announce it'd close? Thanks, I'm glad you think so. Not sure about the biggest, but it definitely was pretty big. It didn't outright announce it's closing but it alluded to being mobile-only sometime in 2016, a full year before closing.

It was horrible. It wasn't the money maker it used to be so it got shut down and replaced with, *Shiveres* m0 bi l 3. And you want my opinion on how long Animal Jam is going to last, I would say give or take about 2020 - 2025. Not really. Disney purchased Club Penguin in late-2007, long before Club Penguin went downhill (Club Penguin was only a thing for two years before being purchased by Disney, and many Club Penguin players, including myself, will tell you that 2005-2010 were great years). The purchase of Club Penguin isn't what caused it to die, it was the change of staff they made sometime during 2012 or 2013; they got rid of all the good staff and soon after they did that, there wasn't really any good items being put out, items were constantly just re-released, and parties were either the exact same, hardly decorated the island, or were those terrible "ad parties" like the Frozen one they did 2-3 times after the staff change.

And tbh I don't know if it'll last that long. My predictions were just bare minimums, so I do know for a fact it won't close next year and probably won't the year after. But I don't know about 2020 since Flash is supposedly to die off by 2020.
