Its been dead since 2019 because the game was pvp focused since 2019.
When we all joined Nin Online, we all joined a Roleplaying game about building your ninja life with a community driven system. Either you like it or not, this is what this game is about.
I fairly understand why everyone is more attracted by the pvp aspect of the game. If I give you a cupcake and then slap your face, youre only gonna remember that I slapped you. It is similar here. We joined nin because we loved naruto and its universe. But we only watched it because it is a story based around epic fights. We want our characters to be strong and we all want to prove ourselves as strong figures not to mess with. Basically were driven by our need to shine IRL. We want to feel acknoleged and respected.
The problem with roleplaying here is that it is not rewarding to do so. Doing RP missions only pays the genins who recieve the mission. For my part, I grew tired of trying to host different good RP missions wasting my time on doing scenarios. Even tho I was enjoying myself, I felt like others just wanted the xp while I wouldnt get any rewards.
Im pretty sure now that Nin Online has only rewarded the pvp side of the game for so long that there are no coming back from it. Its in a set pattern none can imagine differently. Before, when enemies met, there could be dialogs before the fight starts. It truly was epic. But PVP players where the ones to put the most effort in the game and were rewarded for it while RPers suffered from PVPers and didnt gain shit from doing RP.
If player buffs were given to RP players who werent mentaly broken by the need to prove a lvl 15 who's the strongest, the game would be way more healthier than right now.
But its given to the players who like to hunt days and nights like yamikami. They log for hours waiting in the chakra forest for that poor lvl 28 to pass by.
(And he's rewarded for it)
I dont wish to keep doing paragraphs and paragraphs none might read so ill just mention some things that killed the RP and player interaction side of the game.
1 - The lack of game masters whilling to RP. (They only do PVP events because its just easier)
2 - group XP split. (forces everyone to play alone)
3 - players buff. ( it just proves that if you only pvp, you will be rewarded by becoming a demi god)
