  1. Dramatic titles aside, there's an obvious elephant in this room and it's not close to shrinking any time soon. Rhyming aside, there's something we need to discuss. Something that the community needs so that they can finally get an outlet other than complaining about builds, macros, and damage values. Nin Online is an RPG (role-playing game). We need role-play. I know how we can start; by showing each other that we do care about it. I urge you to take this topic seriously, as it's been on the forefront of my mind for the longest time since starting out in Nin Online. For context and as a bit of a history lesson to those that don't know me, and that's most if not all of you, I have been a part of various role-playing communities in the past and remain so in the present. From the high fantasy of the World of Warcraft universe, to the cyber-core aesthetic of EVE Online, to the space odysseys of Star Wars: The Old Republic, and many, many more, role-playing has been my favourite creative outlet from the beginning. There are people in this community that feel the same way, that have had similar experiences but never got to foster them properly in Nin Online. There are likely people with more experience in the topic than me, because a decade of role-play is just enough to claim I understand the genre's intricacies, but not enough to claim any sort of higher ground. I think we ought to start from these sorts of introductions. I was told recently in the forums that not many people role-play here, and that the only form of it exists in a strange space within RP Missions and RP events that don't exactly offer the best dose of immersion. Still, they are a start. They're also the reason that role-play is so confined in this game. I want those that want to role-play in Nin Online to put forward a reply to this post with their characters, with their history in the role-playing genre (even if they have none, and operate on interest alone; we have to remember that there are still people who want to engage and enter the space that don't know how to begin). I want people who are interested in fostering a greater audience for the role-playing aspect of this game to tell everyone a bit about why they want that, about why it's important. Put forth your ideas, your characters, even past role-play events that you've been in. Put forth suggestions for role-play. And always remember; there's another person behind each screen. Don't sling insults or derail the conversation. This post might not get a single reply, but it's worth a try. I should probably stop rhyming while I'm at it.

  3. That could also work, yeah! A bit more than a Mode, since changing the gameplay would be redundant. I personally really want to see the resurgence of Organizations, it'd be a great outlet for role-play. I getchu! However we do have lore, in a sense. At least the bare basics of it- we have a history of Kages and what they've done for their Villages over time, we have had Chunin Exams with victors and there is lore there, there is continuity. In a sense, we've created our own lore in the game and even though it's very barebones, it's also a start. Maybe the admins could host some RP events with a focus on lore, though, in the future. RP can only go so far without characters interacting with a lived-in world.

  4. A mode like that would be extremely broken and abused by everyone tho. If its just an icon or something indicating that you're currently roleplaying, would be pretty nice. But it shouldn't change anything gameplay-wise (imo) About the rewards. Keep in mind nin is a game heavily focused on PvP, the word itself is not huge either, so roleplaying without a goal ( Missions / rewards ), will eventually turn boring. We also dont have enough stuff to RP atm ngl, back when ORGS were a thing, the ammount of Rp both ingame and in the forum was huge. These orgs will eventually come back as a clan-like system ( with "clan" wars being a thing ) . So i definitely see RP doing a comeback in the near future. After all the base game was designed to be mostly RP. Also keep in mind this is a game with no lore, its not as RP friendly as wow,ffxiv,dnd,etc. So this is the first game a lot of people would encounter RP. These missions and rewards would help them get more interested in Rp while giving them some motives to keep RP in the future ( + it'd make it a bit easier to lvl up lol )

  5. Tbh, a huge part of RP being completely dead , is the lack of rewards / motives for doing it imo Chuunins/Jonins have little to no reason to host any Rp mission. Adding either more missions or somethin like a " Mentor " system would boost rp overall imo. Nin was the ever first game i Roleplayed in ( cause of the missions ). I used to think it was cringy as flap ngl, but after doin some missions i found it really fun and a nice little "break" from the extreme pvp content the game provides

  6. Not wanting to bash this post but nin has long been just a very hardcore pvp mmo, all rp aspects are dead including official org rps and even kage rps. Even if u want to revive it theres not enough players to bring any relevance back to it cause majority of the player base doesnt care about it and just wants the game to progress like a normal mmo. I think your beating a dead corpse wont lie to you. I been playing for almost 2 years and rp is non existent asside from very specific moments and even in thise moments its not taken serious at all. Besides the big issue of the majority of player base not caring enough you also have another issue: how will you even rp if most people dont. Unless you enforce rp rules which is very hard to do consistently no one is even gonna try to rp and everytime u try u either will be killed while you type or they just gonna a laugh at you. It just doesnt seem very realistic. I would love for it to comeback but it doesnt seem doable

  8. As-salamu alaykum! Today im going to explain the hierarchy of Turks. So on top of the hierachy of Turks there is Kral after him there is Sultan then there is Council. Kral is not able to hand over or leave his rank. So the current Kral (Forsaken) is the first and the last person in that rank. -There is one way for change the Kral. If Kral dies the Sultan take his place til Son of Kral ready for.- The one who chooses Council Members is Kral and when there are 3 Council Members they choose the candidates of Sultan for the election. The 2 people who got closer votes in election spar for title. Person that wins the Sultan title also becomes the right hand of Kral and gains some ryo, items and an account that named "Sultan". Sultan represents the power of Turks. NOTE: Sultan can't leave his title same as Kral. Next selection will happen in 5 July 2022. Conditions to be a Sultan candidate: Being a Turk. Living in Turkey. Being a Muslim. (If you are a Turk and Muslim but not living in Turkey, you can also be a candidate for Sultan title.) *(I think its a good RP for the game and we want to continue this RP. Thank you for reading it!)* -Kral Edit: too many Turks asked me that what happens if the new Sultan doesn’t do his job right ? Will we be patient for 2 months ? Is there such a thing as an early election ? Yes,it can be an early election. If the council members agree, they vote among each other, then the accepted vote is presented to the Kral, and if the King agrees; the early elections and the Sultan tournament are held immediately.
