Dear Ninjas, It's my great pleasure to announce that we will be holding our first ever Chunin Exams on the 23 April 2016! In conjunction with this great event, we will be holding a party to celebrate our progress in developing Nin Online for an hour prior. This party will be a meet & greet session with the developers held in the Marketplace in the Leaf Village. First Chunin Exams details The event registration will take place at 1pm EST on 23 April and the entire event will commence at 2pm EST. It may last anywhere between 1 - 4 hours depending on how far our Genins make it. Participants are expected to stay throughout the event. You are to form your own teams of 3 before or during the registration phase. Academy Students are not allowed to participate, please promote to Genin rank if you want to participate. Entry fee for each team is 30,000 Ryo, prepare to hand over the in-game currency to the GM during the registration phase. As only Leaf Village is available in this version of the game, the Chunin Exam will be held in the Leaf Village, as such, all stages will be in the format of what you may expect from the Leaf. There may or may not be winners who promote to Chunin Rank in this 1st Chunin Exam. However, if somebody does end up promoting, the rank will carry forward indefinitely into the Beta phase and beyond. Rules & Regulations In order to run the event smoothly, you cooperation is required, as such, rule breakers will be kicked from the event which may result in his/her entire team's disqualification. Stay in character Unless you need to ask a serious question, stay in character during your crucial times. Remain online and active If you choose to go AFK and you miss your calling, we will not wait for you. If you disconnect, quickly reconnect and inform a GM. Follow instructions of GMs The GMs and myself will be giving instructions to follow throughout the event. Do not spam the chatbox unnecessarily. You may cheer for other players, but not excessively. This is courtesy as our GMs will be giving instructions, flooding the chatbox will make it hard for others. Watching the Chunin Events Live We will be streaming the event Live on our Twitch channel, there may or may not be live commentary. There will also be a highlights video posted on our YouTube channel after. Pre-event Party We will be holding a party 1 hour before the registration phase of the Chunin Exams, at 12pm EST. This will be a meet and greet session with the developers and a chance for you to form your teams with online players if you haven't already done so. The party event will be held at the Marketplace, located at the North-east province of the Leaf Village. Conclusion Thanks again for supporting Nin Online and we hope to see you at the first ever Chunin Exams! This is going to be a very tricky one. Be on your toes. Regards, Rory

Dear Ninjas, It's been awhile since I've made an announcement. This is one of the happiest ones yet. As of today, I've successfully accomplished the first thing I've ever promised with Nin Online, which is our early adopters reward, the Gold Forehead Protector items. Most of you have probably never heard of this legendary item. That's because this promise took place back in 2013, when we first launched our Gold Ninja membership. In order to raise the funds needed to give Nin Online a kick start, we ran this programme where if you had donated for Gold Ninja membership before 31 October 2013 (later brought forward to first alpha launch), you would receive this Gold Forehead Protector item which will never again be available to anyone else. With the launch of our Special Items system and Cash Shop, I've credited the exclusive item directly into all the eligible Gold Ninjas! Please feel free to claim them in-game! Thank you to all our early supporters for helping make Nin Online happen! I hope to see you all return for the Chunin Exams! Regards, Rory

Dear Ninja, We're preparing to launch Patch 1.9.0 and have been pushing out updates over the past 2-3 weeks without letting anyone know what we have changed, but this is to amp up the development speed of the team to focus on getting it out quicker to everyone. The game has had a lot of bugs over the past several years and we've been trying to minimize them over these past 6 months. What good news we have today is that we are close to reopening the Open Alpha the last time and won't close it down until a Closed Beta happens. The Open Alpha will last for sometime before we transition to Beta and will be approximately for version 2.0.0. For further details about this, go here. The Cash Shop has been officially opened and will allow us to keep the game servers up and speed up development considerably. We are hoping to bring in enough income to bring back @Rory full-time, so he can quit his job and work on Nin Online full-time. Meet Gumi, the in-game Fox Spirit who will give you information about the items we sell, a preview of them in-game and Special Items Shop. In this shop, you can claim Special Items that you have earned throughout your journey. These items are earned by events or Cash Shop purchases and will never be erased from your account from wipes. These items are stored on your website account instead of game account, these accounts are linked together, but when one is erased the other is not. You can buy cosmetic items here and other items here. To claim them go here. Thank you everyone for your support, it took us a long time to get here and we're really close to making this game become a reality and not something far off. If you bought Gold Ninja by October 31st 2013, you will be awarded Gold Forehead Protectors soon. Best Wishes,Hitspark Edited 27 March by Seth

Eight days of training left. I'll see you all on the 23rd.

I'm hyped to see players wearing the first item I've sprited for Nin. The Leaf Flak Jackets!

We're aiming to be open a while before the 23rd of April

@James a proper answer is the eyes of the beholder. My answer was the same as Rory's, you just didn't see my perspective the correct way.

Think it was hard in the anime. We are going much harder.

Bwahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaha

Seth! My man! It's been a while since I've been on here but I just wanted to say that I DO come back to check up on things every now and then and every time I look back on this site I am always amazed by the new content that is being released. I'm so glad that I invested in this game years ago and that you and the rest of the development team have not forgotten about us and have not given up on such a game. Words can't express how, not only the gaming community, but the anime community as well, are anticipating the release of this game and I know that it will be a success in the end. Awesome job as always and damn! It's about time we got this cash shop up and running. I'll be sure to buy one or two things Friday just to further support the game.
