i'm used to be heavy pc gamers, but cause of work i lost a lot of my gaming time at home
so i try to find any good mobile games, i scrounge lot of top apps on play store
and finally decided to pick ishtaria just because
1.there's no op personal ranking reward - only top 15 plat uvu 300 people will get it not only top 3/10 personal rank like some games and it's even obtainable in the future
2.there's no op VIP bonus - bonus 7 with passive that's shareable with assist feature 3.there's trading post/auction house - you can get late or previous event card/character(cough...vanity)even though you only just play recently
4.weeklong event without too high mileage - if you hardcore like me you can easily finish event in 1 day(except BOTB) or just plan to steadily rack point(no ranking, nothing to screw up mileage)
5.not PvP based or oriented - UvU or KoF was only once a month i think?
6.you can get the op card by grinding - platinum cards are available to buy by grinding medals, not packs exclusive
Edit: Also my very first waifu, Mikael, was a big factor in keeping me playing. If I didn't win her back then maybe I would've just given up on the game and chose something else.
I found it from playing Fantasica when they literally gave out a unit named Ishtaria, Another Age.
I figured I'd check it out, and for the first few months I just played casual and logged in for the bonuses. I liked how you could get paid currency just by playing the game, compared to Fantasica where all the premium packs you pretty much had to dish out cash for.
My little brother introduced it to me when I asked if he could recommend any games, since I have too many idol rhythm games...turns out he's been playing AoI for over a year, but he sorta gave up on it and only got the login bonuses for some time, so i'm almost the same level he is...
Was searching for a new game after Brave Frontier started to get too boring. (global released units first than actual content so when the content came, units where already too op you can autobattle it) Tried playing Valkyrie Crusade, but then the events were repetitive (imagine raid every week) and story telling was almost non existent ("i knew you could do it! Now next map"... That's it?) I was also playing Phantom of the Kill then but back then, it still wasn't in global release so content was extremely limited and events were non existent. After getting the available starter unit that i had to max level, get 5* gears, and max them out, there wasn't much to do except log in for the rewards.
Then i saw Age of Ishtaria in Googly play as a recommended app when i was updating since i update manually. I joined during the reprint of 6* Lucifer, House of Spooks was it called? I enjoyed how there was story dialogues for both main and event quests. The skill animation (which i didn't learn you can skip till after two ctas... The amount of death by waiting for it to finish but got done in first was mortifying...) was nice, Tiamat and Beatrice Assists back then made me aim for them. I also noticed how you can get crowns as rewards from quests so you can build yourself up with time and effort, and a bazaar where you can get your waifus if you ever end up not pulling them (me all the time.) All the units were obtainable by anybody, medal exchange for potions meant you'll never have zero potions, costs and fixed units per deck type prevented any type of overpowering even if you got tons of units, and no extreme advantage by paying players except waifu counts so i said "yep, this is a fair enough game"
The rest is history. Riddled with ups and downs.. Not getting a flurry till the enemy can literally 1 hit my 2* ones, exchanging medals for potions because i ran out after a bazillion tries of getting Caravia, and not pulling a 7* card till i was lvl 140+ but pretty much still enjoying the game due to my union family and now, the forums as well. Longest entry yet kek
HMMMM I think I discovered it back in February of 2015 and just kept playing on and off every now and then. Got extremely busy over the summer so I had to stop, ha. I wanted a different but small game to play and AOI fit just right.

renwit355: does anyone remember some thread about deleting a specific game file so you can make a new ishtaria account without downloading everything again and repeating the tutorial? maybe it was on the old forum
