Dear Ninja,

We've just launched a brand new major feature - Guilds!

Guilds are player organizations where you can contribute towards a common goal, and build towards a large community of like-minded individuals, collectively getting more powerful.

Be warned that guild names cannot be changed and owners cannot be transferred without restarting.

Guild Features

Guild Perks

Guilds comes with many cool features, like Guild Ranks, Guild Emblems, Bulletin Boards, Guild Chat Channel, Friendly Fire Toggling, Alliances and more, all unlockable through the Guild Perks System.

---

Guild Emblems

There are hundreds of customizable pieces to choose from to create your guild's unique emblem. With the current pieces, there are a whopping 400,000+ possible combinations of Guild Emblems to create, not even including color options!

Creating a Guild

Creating a guild can be done through the Guild menu by Gold & Silver Ninja. It costs 10,000 Ryo.

Conclusion

With this Nin Online is now complete faction-wise. You are born into the ninja world alone, but you choose a village to be born in, choose a clan (family) to be born as, join a corporation as an occupation and join or create your own guild, which is like your friend circle, and find teams to go on short-term missions with.

We hope you enjoy this new feature!
