Server should now automatically restarts if it crashes, meaning much less downtime. You can now cast Jutsu within Takumi Hospital. Making it easier to sneak out. Time Off! Mission for Leaf ninja is now split into 3 missions with incremental rewards.

That would mean endless grinding, give an unfair advantage to people, and take away skill in favor of who has rebirthed the most.

Forever Alone No Jutsu #feelingsadonvalentinesday

can you cast it on yourself?

New Login Screen! Normalized all audio tracks so that music no longer explodes in your ears when going between maps. Leaf Military Police Force Building Interior and 2F You can now "sit" on more sofas. Kaito no longer allows you to hold more than 200 tools. He will fill you up to 200.

At level 100 you have the option to cast Death God seal on a weaker ninja and it just warps you and your enemy to map 1000 where you two will never been see again.

Somebody would have to be really god damn salty to spend months playing just to delete somebody elses character along with their own. Anyway! It was all just a random funny idea I thought of while researching, that I thought I'd get reactions with. Thanks for all the legitimate feedback and real ideas though!

Hmmm... What if we will change it a little? @Rory I mean instead of teleporting to some map foreva, it will just create a status effect on the target and caster afterwards? Like if we follow anime - they are being transported to Shinigamis stomach. We could make it like they are turning into ghosts with all these lights around them and we could approach it on 2 ways : 1.They are visible to others and they can see others( but cannot fight the living ones) - they are just transparent. But! they can still fight each other(since they fight their enemies in Shinigamis stomach). You could make their world look like everlasting night. 2. They are turning gray and are teleported to some Necropolis lol with some different content, they could still fight and what not (limitless options here). Now! It should be possible to release the soul from this status : http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Demon_Consuming_Seal:_Release . Maybe you could drop or buy this mask for like 5-8k or something. The ritual would need to be performed by living ones. Or if we decide to go with the Necropolis idea we could make it more like - player has to go trough some quests in there, then he gets the mask after finishing it and can send it somehow to the land of living to someone so they can perform a ritual. Also there should be some limits as well to this jutsu, like once per week or something, dunno. Plus we would have to come up with something so alt abusers won't over-use it. .....Pssssst.....gf needs second sub *coughs*....

^This....Sounds like something that can be abusable(hate to sound negative...but its the truth.But on the ground as a player Ive seen a great number of things. I can imagine many ways this can be abused to destroy peoples characters). Maybe dont make the process permanent. How about a day or two?

Land of Fire Daimyo Castle Opened! Added cloud parallax to outdoor maps which were missing them (eg. Tanzaku Quarters, Takumi Village, Toad village) Takumi Village Tool Shop aka. Kaito's Tool Shop finally really sells Tools cheaper than anywhere else! Open Door = Can Enter For clarity, Buildings which cannot be entered are blocked by doors. If it look like you can go in, you should be able to go in. If you see an open door, you should be able to go in.

Dear Ninja, This new year marks a special time for Nin Online, as it'll be our first year of game service completed. For us, this is an important milestone, as for the previous 3 years of development, the game was running through alpha test cycles, where we could afford to be sloppy, mess things up, and wipe everything again and again. Thanks to @Seth, and with the help of @Suirad and @Robin, since Open Beta launched in April, we've kept the server online without any maintenance lasting more than a day, and we've avoided any hiccups that would require a wipe or major rollback. Despite it being hard to balance both development and maintaining a game service. 2017 was a surprisingly good year for development. Starting with the launch of Closed Beta in January, which saw the released of Sand Village, Bingo Books, Reworked Masteries, Reworked Tutorials, an expanded world map and Daily Missions. We then took the server down a month, and launched Missing Ninjas, Takumi Village and fixed problems found in the Closed Beta. Throughout the remainder of the year, we released an Introduction Scene for both villages, RP Missions, ANBUs, Neo-Akatsuki, a new User Interface, support for larger resolutions, Rebindable Keys, 4 new sub-masteries, 25 new unique Jutsus, we've introduced NPCs which can use Jutsus which we've used to create ninja mobs, 50+ new Mobs & NPCs, 100+ new items, we've expanded old maps to work in larger resolutions and expanded the size of the world with a bunch of new areas, we've spent countless hours reworking features so that they scale with an ever growing player base. There's been so much smaller changes and new content that it's hard to list everything down. We also have a lot of content that's half-way in the works, and will eventually see the light of day. I'd like to thank @Stephen for expanding the game's content through existing art and constantly giving his ideas and time to the game. I'd like to thank @Sezu for creating tons of new content and art with me and without me. I'd like to thank and welcome back @Akiro who've been a big help in taking care of the community since his return, our composer Justin West who has contributed a large amount of new tracks this year (some released and some not), I'd like to thank the rest of the staff team and lastly I'd like to thank all the Gold Ninja, and those who monetarily support the project regularly. However, in all of this, we've not managed to spend enough time actively hosting events. We've only did one combined Chunin Exam, and one for the Sand village. We've had smaller events along the way, but nothing as grand as our live streamed spectacle of a salt fest. The reason for this has mostly been because of how rough the 3rd Chunin Exams went. Hopefully, in 2018, we'll have the time and resource to focus on running regular events as originally planned. I'm still thinking about how much of it I can automate while keeping the essence of what makes this big event what is is. Regardless, Nin Online has been going strong, and I can safely say that this has been the most productive year of development to date and it couldn't have been possible without everyone's support. My thoughts in closing.. Nin Online is an extremely niche game, made for Naruto fans who aren't content with the kind of games we keep getting, like the web game or mobile games. Online games in this shape and form, in general, are a dying breed. To game companies, the money has long moved to quickly developed auto-play games on mobile, which is why you will never see a real Naruto Online but instead get games like Ninja Voltage. Realistically speaking, a game like Nin Online should not be able to exist because Nin Online does not make enough money to justify it's existence. That being said, the game still exists thanks to everyone who has donated to the game, and everyone who is a positive impact on the community, and will continue to exist for as long as we have that! Thanks everyone for listening to my rant! Look forward to lots more in 2018. Regards, Rory
