Dear Ninja, As part of an initiative for us to focus more of the active staff onto in-game moderation, we've decided to start delegating the role of forum moderator to a non-staff role filled by dedicated members who want to help us out! This means that forum moderator is now a role for active community members, rather than lesser staff member. It will not be a very time consuming role, and we will not monitor your daily contributions. If you have time on your hands and would like to help out, we are looking for you! Send an application or a PM my way. Regards, Rory

Patch Notes 8/6/2017 Added semi-automated systems for Chunin Exam 3. Increased range of Phoenix Fireball Technique from 10 to 10/11/12/12/13/14. Increased range of Dragon Fire Technique from 9/10/11 to 10/11/12. Fixed range of Great Fireball Technique from 10/15/10 to 10/15/15. Reverted unknown change for speed of Vacuum Palm Technique. Reverted unknown change for speed of Colliding Wave Technique. Reduced stun duration of Palm Bottom Technique from 1/2/2 to 1/1/1 to reduce stun locking potential. Changed Palm Bottom Technique damage from 20/25/25 to 20/24/28.

Patch Notes 3/6/2017 Added warning on Account Manager to clearly state trade-able cash items disappear if you reset your character or drop them. Added warning on Ceramic War Armor to state that once claimed, it is treated as a normal item and will disappear on reset. Increased all Folding Fan melee attack speed by 50%.

I thought this would be clear, I've edited the item to give a warning and the character reset NPC is clearer on this now. Tradeable cosmetic items are treated as normal items once claimed from Gumi! That means if you reset your character, they will disappear!

Patch Notes 2/6/2017 Fixed Wild Slashes bug causing it to hit 100 tiles.

As a little side message for those who have been here all this time. Thanks for the continuous support and thank you for making the game possible I know there are a lot of issues still prevailing and a lot left to be desired at this point in our development, but since you've been here for all this time, I think you'll be able to trust me when I say I won't stop working to make the game better! It's only a matter of time. I love all of you, the recent month have been a tough one for me, but the private messages you guys have been sending me to cheer me on has made all the difference. Thanks, looking forward to seeing you all at the Chunin Exams.

Dear Ninja, This month is Nin Online's 4th Anniversary month, which means 4 years ago, I began development on the game you are experiencing live now. We have come so far since then, and still have a lot more planned. This month, we will run the 1st Joint Chunin Exam as well as launch ANBU, Sand Assassins and the Akatsuki, which we are very excited for. To celebrate our 4th Anniversary, we are going to be selling a limited time only cosmetic item - Ceramic War Armor! While it may look like the Red War Armor, it features improved animations and some small golden embroidery. The Ceramic War Armor will be on sale from 1st June - 30th June. As with any future time-exclusive cosmetics, after it's sale period, it will not be available for purchase anymore, but will be tradeable in-game so that it may be passed on. We hope that you continue playing Nin Online, and look forward to more updates soon! Regards, Rory

Nope. Past 30 days.

Europeans make up 36% of our player base. Americans make up 51% and the remaining 13% are Asia, Africa and Oceania combined.

Yes.

It's very expensive to get one made

Patreon Update I've made 3 digital wallpapers for the $5 tier in the past few days there'll be more coming soon, and maybe a few new designs every couple of months. If you've already become a patron and haven't seen it, you can download them on my patreon. If you're interested in supporting the game and love exclusive goodies, check out my Patreon.

They're entering teams of Genin into the exam as their students, which is why their teams enter for free. The Genin that want to apply for the examination without a Chunin/Jonin Sensei have to pay the fee themselves. There's a lot of ways to make ryo

Thank you @Dareem

Thanks everyone for the support thus far!

PS: This used to be Nin Online's logo back in 2013! I found it while digging old stuff up. lol! Some people were saying the old logo was better then x)

Dear Ninja, As you may or may not have noticed, I've been quite inactive the past month. I'm making able to spend as much time working due to some personal health reasons, as well as a loss of a family member. It's going to be a hard next couple of months for me, and I'm trying to move out and find my own home so that I can better work in peace. Don't worry though, the game is not in danger of closing down or anything like that! Infact, thanks to all your support, I've made a decent living in the past month. I hope this continues, but it's hard living on the edge and paying rent is the scariest part! We're a small niche game and community, so I don't expect massive support, but I'll be thankful if it even helps with a 1/4 of my rent haha I know there are players who want to support the game. If you're one of them consider pledging dollar to help me pay rent! There's some new community related content I've announced on the page if you want to know more, you can read about it here under the backers rewards tiers. Click here to visit my Patreon Sorry for the shameless e-begging, back to resting. :') Regards, Rory

Dear Ninja, If you update your clients you should be able to login now. I've hotfixed the exploit. After investigations on a case by case basis, I've decided that a rollback won't be necessary. The players who've been marked as abusers by my staff team will be given a warning and punished. Regards, Rory

Then think about this, the 50 players who get rolled back a maximum of 12 hours, or the 4000 players who lost out on a month of training to people who gained unfair advantages within the time a bugged patch was online. Im not fucking stupid, I'm just unfortunately granted a better overview of the entire situation because I've been working on games for 14 years and have to be the one who manages shit situations that Seth brings upon me.

I hope you guys trust that I would not be rolling back everyone for fun. The severity of this exploit meant that there could be players who essentially got months of experience and ryo in a few hours. This would be unfair to the players who have worked and played hard over the past month to get to like level 38 to login and see newbies at level 50. Really, it's not like I want to harm the player experience, I do everything in my ability to make sure these problems don't happen.

Dear ninja, It's come to my attention that as of Seth's last update, there has been a major exploit that some players could use to gain unfair advantages. I've taken the server down for now. I'm not in the state to fix it at the moment, this whole thing has me bedridden and in pain. So the game will be down for awhile, and there could be a rollback. im sorry

I agree wholeheartedly.

Patch Notes 4/5/2017 Fixed RP Missions not being able to complete Account Manager in the Leaf and Sand village now allows Missing Ninja to pay fines to return to the village. Missing Ninja below level 15 can return to the village without paying any fines. None
