I was going to screenshot exactly that for you, but realized my sidekick already got to you. Topic closed.

Damn it Rockey. You may be one of the only people from back in the day I remember. When I saw your Siggy, I just nostalgia'd. Welcome back! You won't know anyone here, everyone here is more or less a new member, except @Tydon

When you think of the game as a PvP Arena, then there is no benefit to ranks at all. You could start playing as an Academy Student and somehow grind to level 100. The problem with that is the main way to level up is to do missions. Missions not being repetitive grind missions, but actual storyline missions and with actual content. There will be a certain amount of Arcs for each rank in the game. So each Genin at his end of his time as a Genin, going to participate in the Chunin Exam will be roughly the same level, because that's as far as the missions progressed him, unless he took a hell load of time to grind up extra levels, but seeing as how mobs will give very little experience, this will be hard.

Many systems work, no doubt. Mine will as well. I've played TNR, a long time ago! It was long before GOA came out. TNR uses the rank element present in the Naruto series as somewhat like a class system, where are a certain level you have the choice to Advance your Class. Ranks in Nin Online take a different approach, we're using it for role play elements and also a compulsory way to put a break between players doing chain missions and get them to participate with the community before continuing their storyline missions. There is little or no problem with limiting/capping levels to ranks. However, it depends on what we want players to have choices for, and allowing them to do things differently. There will be times when balancing the game, I will wish that I did it the simple way.

Though it would be a nice feature, it would take too much effort in making the extra content, art and programming for in to be worth taking time to do anytime soon. We are still in early stages and have so much more important stuff to do before we can consider an extra feature like this Thank you for the suggestion though! We are going to have a forum achievement/award system, and I was planning on rewarding certain awards based on in-game achievements!

The problem is that it's JavaScript, which isn't supported by phone text boxes I think. There's no way to solve this, and I suggest you memorize the bbcode tags for these options for example.. [b]bolded text[/b]

The scroll will drop on death, I doubt anyone would believe it if there was just a scroll left lying about. But it sounds like an interesting idea, would take effort to make it really convincing though!

All the dialogues are going to be in English.. Can't really help it, since our target audience for now is still mostly English speaking, reading people.

There is no level cap for ranks. But if you think about it, you have to be a certain rank to take certain missions. So eventually you run out of missions, and the only solution will be grinding (which will not be effective in Nin). To get to level 100 genin would be a very hard task.

Then don't make the topic until later.

Where is the image?

Might not even be enough content to reach 20 on August 1st I'm afraid, but the coming days will bring about lots of new content daily!

So many BYONDers Glad that its spreading well there. I've heard people are spreading pretty nasty rumors as well. I'm happy to see people like @corruptedOne and @Tydon back here old friends.

First Chunnin exam, hopefully sometime in the next 2 months. It'll also be a trial run, so things might not move as quickly, things might get improvised and exceptions will be made It'll also serve as the first RPE, so do look forward to it!

Being an early supporter takes some faith. I'm confident in bringing Nin Online far, but for people who have yet to even try the game to donate. You guys have my gratitude Thanks for all the support so far, on early alpha release, depending on how many players the server can maintain, I will decide what kind of server the game will require and can afford in the long term. The money will be put into good use.

So it's going to be exactly like GOA but not the same concept - of game? Say what? That doesn't even make sense.

Exactly @Sipher Even though I've tried my best to make it clear! It'll still be pretty fun to see everyone online for the first time

You're improving fast the final Kakashi hair is good!

You should commission somebody on DeviantArt. Eventually, if RP is lively on Nin Online, I can get some artists interested in doing commissions to take requests here

It is, though I already had it in mind But it hasn't been officially suggested.

I'll set this up after release I want to focus on that, this section will require some effort to kick off.

Welcome to the Nin Online community, thank you for supporting us!

I just hope that they don't make history repeat itself again. If Sasuke dies like his brother, that's dumb. If Naruto becomes Hokage and sacrifices himself like Minato somehow, that's dumb. If Sasuke remains evil and follows the curse of his clan, that's dumb. After all this time, things have to change. Masashi Kishimoto needs to show that the world isn't just a pattern of repeated shit asdp oii fadnsfsdnasdf.
