Lost Track of Time..

Wow, how time really flies..

I logged in with the intention of deleting this blog, since I no longer have the luxury or the time to blog about Ayakashi Ghost Guild (AGG), since a very long time ago (or rather, more than a year ago)..
.. But I was actually surprised that there were visitors to my dead blog.
For memory's sake, maybe I should just keep it?
Hmmm.

Yes, I have became much busier and AGG has slowly, but surely. taking a back seat in my life now.
It's no longer that important or addictive to me anymore.
It's also a fact that I would never be able to catch up in blogging on my AGG's events and adventures.

I am no longer called "Ayumi-san" in AGG now.
Did I mention before that my first AGG in-game name (IGN) was actually "Kagome"?
In case you're wondering..
.. Yes! I am still very much active in AGG, but much lesser than my peak addiction period.
I am also in a ranked top 10 guild now.

These screenshots were my very last few pieces of AGG memories that I still held close to.. in my computer.
Thereafter, I changed my phone and stopped the tedious process of having to manually upload AGG screenshots onto my computer every now and then.

Screenshots taken from The Great Princess Wars (solo) Conquest Event:

First Half (FH) Ranking: 1274th
Reward: Ohina [Princess Wars] + Ohina [Princess Wars] Skill Magatama(s) x4

Second Half (SH) Ranking: 1195th
Reward: Black Prince's Ruby + Black Prince's Ruby Skill Magatama(s) x5

Level 150 (solo) Conquest Reward: Arria
(I stopped here. Too busy and tired to continue fighting upwards.)

Total Ranking: 1073rd
Reward: Bifuku + Bifuku Skill Magatama(s) x2 (obtained from Level 135 and 145 Conquest Rewards)

AGG has changed so much now..
In a brief summary:

- With the introduction of Silver Apples (SAs) and Golden Apples (GAs), many free and light cash players can now "kill" off their existing 4* (SAs) and 5* (GAs) daemons, save up, and barter to own limited released 5* daemons and even the once costly-to-obtain Bell daemons!

- Double Gold offers were also introduced twice too; to maybe attempt to retain the dwindling cash player population.

- With the introduction and end of the first ever Guild Conquest Events: Horoscopes (Fallen & Pure) in the past 12 months, it's not a surprise that many cash players have decided to put their money back into their wallets instead.

- It's also becoming increasingly common to see "dramatically" or "high trigger rate", sometimes even "very high trigger rate", appearing in the list of daemons released for each event.
(Old daemons? Normal trigger rates? Combined stats of <27,000? They are now increasingly considered obsolete.)

- The introduction of Soul Gems (SG) and Seal Stones (SS) events also allowed free and low level players to easily obtain 5* daemons. Magatama Points were recently a new feature that was introduced as you unlock more completions, used in summoning Magatama(s).

- Magatama Summon used to be the most useless feature to be spending your precious Gold coins in, but with the introduction of Super Skill Magatama(s)! You now have the possibility of increasing your daemons' skills by ONE level each time if it works!
(Unfortunately, it rarely works. Maybe 5% chance, good luck.)

- Players can now also easily "eat" Beef Bowls to re-allocate their stats freely between Health, Attack Spirit and Defense Spirit, in addition to the traditional method of re-crewing.

- A recent introduction of Chain System will also see an increasing no. of new cards being created with Chain abilities (dependent on positive or negative abilities) that can enhance your team's Chain Partner(s) and weaken opposing team's Chain Partner(s).

- New second series of Guild Conquest Events: Tarot Cards (Reversed & Pure), which is likely to carry on for another 22 months, makes me feel that the events are so repetitive, it's getting very boring.

I think that's roughly most of what has happened in the past months that I was on hiatus from this blog.
I am not even sure when I'll stop playing AGG completely for good.

Guild Conquest Event: Galaxy Wars: Raging Rapids - Aquarius (Pure).

*But I still love the art.*
Sighs.
