  1. Dear Ninja, As we're soon to launch the Neo-Akatsuki organization, a missing ninja organization based on the original form of the early Akatsuki. About the Organization The Neo-Akatsuki believes in doing whatever it takes to bring peace and stability to the ninja realm, at any cost. Based on leadership, the means of doing so will change. However, to fund it's operations, the organization works as mercenary ninjas by collecting bounties placed on ninja in or out of the Bingo Book. The Neo-Akatsuki are not remnants of their predecessor, but instead, an organization born from the early ideals of their predecessor, or whatever they believe those ideals were. Leadership & Organization Structure An initial leader will be chosen by the poll in this announcement topic by the 7th November 2017. The remaining 9 members will be chosen by the Leader, and leadership role will constantly be handed down to senior members of the organization, in addition to the leader stepping down. With each passing, Neo-Akatsuki's goals may change, but members should stay the same unless people step down, in which case, the leader is allowed to replace them with new members. Each leader may only serve for a period of 3 months, in which he should step down a pick a successor. Launch Event To celebrate the launch, @Sezu will be hosting a world boss raid event on the 2nd November 2017, 3PM EST at "Mysterious Rock Wall" map (North of Takumi village) where he will take on as many ninja. If he is defeated within a time limit, he will unveil little prize! Regards, Rory

  5. First Announcement of Nin Online, at the time it was just myself and Eddie aka. Whack When Nin Online was Nin Offline, I used to do Development Logs! This day I didn't feel like doing a log, so I just posted a screenshot. Whack announces the first open alpha announcement date! The server goes offline while we make some major improvements to the base engine, which didn't handle unexpectedly the large number of players who joined in the first alpha. 2nd Open Alpha is announced! The server is doing poorly still, constant crashes. Seth & David joins in the team! We resolve the major issues with the server and continue with alpha 2 days later. Picture of our early gold ninjas making history in here too. Alpha 2 closes on 27 October 2013 In November 2013, I enlist into compulsory military training for the next 2 years. Seth takes over in maintaining the game's development and a more comfortable pace while I march with a rifle and 20kg bagpack under the scorching sun. Around this time Abhi joins the team as a programmer! We also get Afillion on as our composer. I announce that we're really low on server funds so we do a fund raiser for in-exchange of paying the server fees, I work faster. We succeed in securing a few months worth of server fees with it, thanks to the names mentioned in the post. The goals are reached, so the alpha test dates are set to July 15th 2014! 1st Anniversary of celebratory post. Some missing images, but the prior history to Nin Online is told. Our game logo in it's current form is made in 2014 For the rest of 2014, I was mostly too busy with army to work on the game. But basically through the entire next 2 years we remained mostly online through the longest alpha test with something called the Final Alpha. In 2015, I started working on the sand village and we created the trailer we still use today Then in late 2015, my mandatory military service ended! In 2016 we redesigned the website to look like how in looks now We also held a fashion contest After 3 years we finally delivered the first rewards promised, Gold ninja forehead protectors! We held the first Chunin Exams and the 2nd! In late 2016, we make it snow in the Leaf village (because it's the only village in the game still). Open Alpha is closed and Open Beta is announced, history is made with the launch of the second village
  6. Weapon shops now sell "Kunai Dagger" weapon for INT users at early levels, giving a substantial amount of bonus melee damage. It is meant to help them at a lower level, but is not meant to be part of a good high level build. It cannot be used for Sword Jutsus.

  10. Dear Ninja, Since starting beta, a large portion of my time has gone to helping players change 1 cash shop item for another, and it's become really hard to maintain such a system. As such, we're phasing out exchanges, and changing cash refunds period to 24 hours. I will still honor the system for items bought before this change. Regards, Rory

  15. Dear Ninja, As of today, we are introducing two of the most anticipated features for the game's world! ANBU stands for Ansatsu Senjutsu Tokushu Butai (暗殺戦術特殊部隊) which means Special Assassination and Tactical Squad. They are elite ninja from the village, who serve their Kage by hunting down ninja in the bingo book deemed a threat by their village. Each village will have an ANBU organization, which will serve identical purpose and follow similar structure. Leaf Sand Squads Each ANBU consists of squads of up to 8 members. However, on assassination missions, they will operate in 2 teams of 4, with their Kage appointed squad leaders. While not enforced, it is recommended that members of the same squad wear the same masks to differentiate themselves instantly. Individual ANBU members should not go alone on killing rampages, and should always do so on the command of squad leaders or Kage. Assassinations The goal of each ANBU is to clear the Bingo Book. ANBU operations should be stealthy. They should as little attention when leaving their village, so as not to be tailed or joined by non-ANBU members. This is to ensure that the enemy is not aware of an assassination, and to keep roleplay concentrated on ANBU only. Missing Ninja and enemy village ninja with zero bounty should not be targeted by ANBU. ANBU are allowed to kill at any location. This includes outside hospitals. Remember - Ninja with bounty are considered criminals. Membership The Kage of each village chooses squad leaders anytime they want, to a healthy amount. Though it is recommended to keep membership exclusive to facilitate better roleplay. The requirement for ANBU is level 30, atleast Genin rank. Squad leaders are incharge of choosing their members, and eventual promotions if there is opportunity to expand. While not wearing ANBU uniform (off duty), members retain their normal ninja rankings eg. Genin, Chunin, Jonin Members are not required to keep their identities a secret. However, they may choose to, or roleplay as such. ANBU members should be retired due to inactivity or long service to make way for new players. Looking forward to seeing you in-game! Regards, Rory

  18. Unveiling of the Akatsuki hideout!
  19. I'm sorry to hear you still hold a grudge over that here. Unfortunately, I hold staff team members to a higher standard than the community itself, and my previous attempts at trying to communicate with you properly have all just ended with you throwing insults at me. Which is a clear indication we shouldn't work together.
  20. I wasn't trying to insult you. I explained to you the difference between the statement you presented and the example I gave you, after you criticized my point. A simpler explanation to why we don't punish people for using vulgarities and this isn't a PG13 community is because neither is Naruto. Characters like Hidan constantly used vulgarities, and so, a game about meaningful RP shouldn't punish people for using it sparingly. Sorry if you felt offended by my analysis of your criticism and following rebuttal. Also, I'd like to ask that you take any further rebuttals to DMs as this is a post about non-toxicity and I would rather not need to argue in it. No need to get so defensive here. Chill. PS: For everyone else, this is an example of behavior I want to discourage in the community. Doesn't it seem so unnecessary to be arguing about one person's misunderstanding of a statement I made to the point where he's calling me a chink? Let's do better.
  21. Despite noticing that your lack of understanding on the simple point I was trying to make is probably a facade, and the true motive of your unneeded comments on my post about being positive is just out of a desire to be edgy and stand out. I'll try to attempt to explain to you the difference. The problem with that is that the "my friend" comes off as a tad bit sarcastic after you call somebody a moronic fuckwad. Whereas in my example, I used a vulgarity, without directing it at somebody, but instead used it to exaggerate a statement. EQ is hard to teach! I recommend just talking to more people and putting yourself into real social situations like attending parties or going on dates. Real experience in social situations tend to translate to better behavior in online social interactions as well!
  22. I see zero contradiction in being non-PG13 and being fucking positive and non-toxic. Could say I fucking love you. It's vulgar and positive. No contradiction in NSFW and positive too. I have a lot of great sex. Not toxic at all.
  23. A lot of us have been there, a lot of us will. A state of mind where we're not completely ourselves. In such times, it's completely acceptable to drown yourself in things that make you happy, because time heals a lot of problems. If you're experiencing tough times, and you feel pushed to a corner, Nin Online should be a place where people's feel safe to unwind. Although we're not a PG-13 gaming experience, and our community and game is open to swear words and NSFW talk, let's try to build a positive, non-toxic environment for everyone. When we're RP-ing, it's fine and dandy to behave any way you like. But when OOC, let's remember that life is short and in years to come, we will look back and remember everyone fondly for having added to the experience. Let's stay away from comments like "go kill urself" or "just die", if in a moment of heated conflict you say such things. Think to apologize afterwards, because words do hurt. Be bigger men. Enjoy!
