Bounty Collector NPC now displays statistic on how much bounty you've claimed. Killing a player with Battle Injuries no longer registers as a kill for Missions. Killing a player with Battle Injuries no longer earns you bounty rewards, nor does it halve their bounty.

Their ranks will become Sand only.

Dear Ninja, This change has been a long time coming. All ranks (chunin, jonin, s-jonin) will soon be village exclusive. Resetting your character and choosing another village will not allow you to instantly become their Jonin superior for example. IMPORTANT: All current ranks will be locked into Leaf unless you reply to this post that you want your rank to be for Sand. This is with the exception of those who earned their ranks from the Sand village Chunin Exams. Regards, Rory

Time of event updated!

After grading 30+ Ninja Bios for the first time ever, I must say it's a really tough decision. I picked my 3 favorites based on the criteria of.. RP (I deducted points for OOC things, and added points for generally good RP, and decent amounts of content) Presentation (How neat and organized things are, and how pretty/cool your profile looks as a whole) Creativity (Gave points for unique story telling, unique character developments, or unique methods of telling your character's story) Winners @Booty Gang Captain @Dona @Jun Zakura @Ishyn Sasayaki I couldn't decide 3 out of these 4. So... congratulations! Honorable mentions @Vaga @Kakuzu @Caio @Yousei Izanagi @Noro Zakura @Riley @Sour Thanks everyone for the interesting reads! I really enjoyed hosting this competition and we'll do it again soon for sure. PS: There is no medical ganja garden @Sour, and some people lost points because image links expired or went really OOC.

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

Everyone who wants to participate remember to post here so I will review your bio!

Fixed time based missions. Capture the Bell event now shows a bell above your head instead of the words "BELL"

You can make a special request, sure Nope

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

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.

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

Added 8 new wandering NPCs in the Sand village. Northern entrance of the Sand village is now full HD ready. Added "Benkei's Tools" Mission in Takumi village. Added Benkei's "Making Things" Shop.

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
