We are performing tests and implementing the Cash Shop right now, the game will be offline until we finish the patch. It will come up once we post the Patch Notes as usual.

Dear Ninja, I have finished updating the updater, it is now live. This is the final updater for Beta. We shouldn't need to do anymore updates to it. The only other features we have planned are to add Server Status to it and other extras, but these are not that important at the moment and can be pushed aside for several months. Added Fullscreen checkbox. This will start the game in fullscreen mode. You can do this in-game already by using Alt + Enter. Fixed problems with updating instantly which skipped files to update. Fixed crash issues and improvements to the way it runs. Fixed various bugs. Updater now can only be opened once. Updater now forces you to be an Administrator, it won't error when attempting to launch the client. It will give an error message. Updater now force closes any client processes upon startup. This will prevent problems with updating the Client.exe. Updater now is x86 compile rather than x64/x86. This is to strengthen compatibility with the Client.exe. If you have any problems with the updater such as seeing it complete instantly and/or your client says it is out of date. You can restart your computer and try again, or just uninstall and reinstall the game. It is important that the Client.exe is removed properly when you uninstall. The process is preventing itself from being updated. Although, the latest updater will terminate this process if it ever happens such as from a crash or being open. As a side note, we push out updates all the time without letting you guys know. We believe in pushing out fixes quickly then saying what they were later. It is better and more practical with our time. Although, we will not take the game servers down once they become stable. This is not something which will be in practice once we get everything going smooth. Best Wishes, Hitspark

The server will go up and down all the time until we officially release Patch Notes 1.9.0. This is part of the stress testing and adding of new features, so don't panic. Remember that he game is till being developed and this is a live development process. Don't make topics asking about server status or using chatbox for it. Just wait until you see Online in the sidebar. If it doesn't work still, try again later. If you get an error message report it. There are some issues with the updater that are being worked on to alleviate some bugs. Most of which have been fixed already. The last one I am currently working on, if your updating completes instantly, you need to restart your computer or reinstall the game.

No - the leveling is going to be different.

Chuunin is a rank you earn, it is something you do once and keep. This event will not change. Leveling is going to change.

We are changing the experience rates and how you level when we add Bounties and Missions. A wipe is needed. We haven't wiped in half a year, this is alpha guys you should know you don't keep your characters by now. If everyone is level 30, no one will reset to test the new systems. They will just sit with their current characters.

Chuunin are kept after wipe this was told to me by Rory. You will be granted the rank after you pass your Genin by an admin.

Dear Ninja, We need you guys to try to break the game server again, hopefully I won't have to take it down again to do a large scale maintenance. As of this posting, the game servers are back open to everyone. Invite your friends and let's get ready for the Chuunin Exams! Be sure to get to level 30 to participate. As a side note, this is the last test we are doing before the Sand Village. Once we deem the game is stable and no major bugs are detected, we will host the Chuunin Exam then follow up with a wipe. Once we wipe, this will have new content and features such as Cash Shop, Sand Village, Missions, and more! Best Wishes, Hitspark

You can use your Credit Card online to buy cards to send to me. This credit will be applied to your account as the amount you donated. Essentially, we are swapping the items for our own money. We don't accept Credit Cards directly - we are not legally allowed to and this is why we use Paypal.

We support Paypal for official payments. If you would like to pay with another method, you can send credit vouchers from Steam, PaySafeCard and other means. These will be considered payments to staff to influence more work and allow us to give back some of our own salaries to the game, instead of buying these luxury items ourselves. If you would like to donate with Steam vouchers or PaySafeCard just send me a personal message.

Our Authentication Server and game servers have a built-in packet spam protection which will temporarily ban you for 15 minutes if you spam us enough within a specific time frame. When you are disconnected without notice, this may be an indication of doing this. Macros may cause you to be flagged as a spammer, because it puts a huge strain on the game server when you are flooding in packets. This is both intentional and to prevent players from getting an unfair advantage using tools. You may use macros as long as they do not automate the game for you, you must play the game and only use them to enhance you as a player and not take away the work for you. What I mean by this, you can only make macros to execute moves in a rotation for you, but you may not use tools to do it all for you.

Sorry guys, we are closing back down again. I can't do this right now, it is too much stress on my life. The engine we use is really outdated and is very hard to fix the core issues with the constant community on my back. We're looking into fixing these engine problems, as for now we will be opening Snake and Hawk to donators only again. We can't afford to keep it open plus have the free members pressuring the developers like this. It is too much tax on us.

Do not use them to report bugs, ask questions such as server is down. This is worse than doing it in-game. Please, I hate seeing this when I come back to the website. Give us a little bit of respect, make a topic and use the same topic at the very least. Use the search function. You make the moderator job here a living hell if you don't do this. It is the most annoying type of post you can imagine. It boils my skin.

As a side note, we tried to support other languages, this did not work out. All we can do now is enforce it English only for the time being. Each translator we hired did not do as much as we needed as a volunteer, this is not possible right now to do and is not worth the time or resources. Como uma nota lateral, tentamos apoiar outras línguas, isso não deu certo. Tudo o que podemos fazer agora é aplicá-la apenas em Inglês, por enquanto. Cada tradutor nós contratamos não fazer tanto quanto precisávamos como voluntário, isso não é possível neste momento de fazer e não vale a pena o tempo ou recursos. I have updated the post to include your translation. @HarryCrack

You need to apply properly. @UltimateSlayer

Most games the developers don't talk to the players or they just hire someone to do it for them, then rely that information and feedback to the core team. Please try to avoid asking questions in game or I will start hiding from the community and that means I will quit listening. Thank you.

He updated the cover.

A quick update, Linked Accounts button now appears at the top of navbar.

If you would like to help us afford game server costs and develop the game faster, consider helping us by donating with Gold Ninja. There's perks involved with the member group, but it is not meant to give an unfair advantage to the game in anyway.
