Hi Ninjas, First of all, Happy New Year! To all the new members in the community, welcome to the forums and I hope to see you in-game soon. As you guys may have noticed, I haven't been around for awhile. I got busy with other projects and sort of lost the time to work on Nin Online. I'd like to apologize for the slow down and the eventually closure of the Open Alpha. It was never intended to go down, but due to the lack of manpower we had to. On the bright side, I've been starting to get more done, so I'd like to share with you the progress on the Sand Village and the plains and fields around it. Here are peeks at the vast amount of maps coming along with the Sand Village! The Kazekage's Office The Sand Village Academy Court Yard This is basically the equivalent of the Leaf Village's starting classroom. Entrance to the Desert Warzone Desert Warzone This is a huge map where anything goes. You can see it littered with past battles. With weapons fragments and signs of death. Sand Village Cemetary When there is a war.. there is casualties afterall. The Sand Village Hospital The exterior and interior of the hospital! Streets of the Sand Village The Village is so large and packed with detailed little areas like this. It's a bit hard to realize how much the release of the Sand village with change the game. Simply put, we will finally have reasons to PvP, we will have an on-going competition between ninjas of both villages, and finally politics and Kages will matter. I'm sorry this is taking such a long time to get done. As you all know, I really care a lot about the little details that go into making this world believable, immersive and fun to explore. I try to stay close to the source material, while also taking into consideration how it will affect the game play and take my time on introducing new areas. In the grand scheme of things, I hope that Nin Online will be a game to stand the test of time as the best Naruto Inspired MMORPG in terms of immersion. I hope everyone is as excited as I am! Regards, Rory

Dear Ninjas, This is a small announcement to let the community know who own the holiday giveaway. I wanted to make it a special announcement, but I figure it would be better to keep it short and simple. I picked the top 3 based on how clever or creative they were. If it had a lot of likes, it didn't give it more of a chance of winning. Sure, I do love Dragon Ball Z and other animes, but if it isn't funny or clever then it feels short of the top 3. First @Candy Second @Meline Third @Ninkoro You can view the announcement Christmas announcement here.

Hi Ninjas, As you may know, Early Access tests have been going on for about a week now. Thanks to the dedication our testers have put in to find and report the bugs in the game, the programming team has been able to make good progress in making the game as stable as possible for our Final Open Alpha test. Furthermore, I've been able to spend a lot of time creating new content with my army conscription coming to an end in less than 2 months! We've added new gear and made good progress on the Sand Village. New Gear I've created two new styles of Forehead Protectors, mainly for Leaf ninjas, as well as two new weapons. Yamato Forehead Protector & Twin Fangs Tobirama Forehead Protector & Shirokata Medical Ninja Outfit Leaf Medical Ninjas can now access the Leaf Village Hospital supplies to buy their outfits. They come in 3 pieces, a coat, a skin tight mask and a hat. If you have the Medical Mastery and have learned Mystical Palm Technique, you meet the prerequisites to access the shop through Tasuke in the Leaf Village Hospital. Credits to @ The Sand Village Me and @Fernando have been working on creating the Sand Village for awhile now. With the final Open Alpha approaching, the dawn of the first Beta will include two villages and an epic war arc between the two. We're working hard on creating a beautiful village for all the Suna fans out there! While progress is good, we are still far away from creating another village to match the Leaf Village in size. If you've been around since the beginning, you should know the Leaf Village took a month for me alone! I hope you like what you see so far with the Sand Village, see you all in the final Open Alpha tests! Regards, Rory
