When will the game be released?

That depends on how the team will work and grow. We expect an early release of the deathmatch version as soon as possible. This serves as something to keep people busy while the rest of the RPG elements are being developed.

Is the game going to be played in a web browser in the final release?

No. The game is only on a web browser while it is in the development phase, we will create a standalone client as soon as the web browser is unable to support the high quality and standards that we aim for. Rest assured, in the final release there will be a downloadable client.

How will I be able to join a village?

Upon character creation you can assign a village to your character. Later in the game, you can leave a village and stay villageless or even join a different village. More information on villages can be found here (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php/topic,732.0.html).

Can anyone join a clan or an organisation?

What is the difference between a clan and an organisation?

A clan is a group of people in a village who are related by blood and all bear the same last name. An organisation may consist of anyone, even if they have different backgrounds, as long as they have similar goals. Each clan may have distinct family features and core values while an organisation may have any purpose, whether it be good or bad.

Will players be able to put their clans/org logos on their own clothing?

Yes, but other players will be able to steal clan/org logos from others since it is not possible to prevent this from happening.

What happens when a clan leader leaves his clan, gets killed or is offline for a long period of time?

The next highest in rank will be the new leader. Also, anyone can leave their clan at any point, they will, however, keep their last name and not be able to join a different clan. A clan member that has left or been banished can still be recruited again by their clan.

What will the profession system be like?

Players will be able to be Shinobi, Kages, Ramen sellers, travelers, merchants etc. However, it is unknown as of now how players will be officially identified.

How can one be a rogue ninja?

To become a rogue ninja one should cut his ties with their village. That is to say, a rogue ninja can be a vicious criminal or simply a wandering ninja who abandoned their village with either good or evil purpose.

Will becoming rogue before reaching the rank of Jonin prohibit you from getting two chakra natures if and when you do become Jonin?

Becoming a rogue ninja before you reach the official rank of Jonin will not prohibit you from getting your second chakra nature.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.15#msg18041)

Can a ninja who became rogue at genin level become chunin/jonin?

Once you become a rogue ninja you are stuck with that official title. Exams are required for you to gain the newer, better title and since you are a rogue you may not take the exam inside a village.
Note: As a rogue ninja, your ELO may still rise much higher above Genin, but you will not become Jonin.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.15#msg18041)

Will players have the opportunity to become a "cop" ninja?

There will be a police force for players to fulfill their lifelong dream. There will be NPC police, but this is dependent on the amount of player police. If there are no player police on, there will be more NPC police, and if there are enough player police online and playing then there will be no NPC police.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.15#msg18041)

What will the ranking system be like and how will it work?

The ranking system will be based off of ELO. As you play SLO, your ELO will change accordingly whenever you defeat someone or are defeated. When your ELO reaches a certain amount, if you are not a rogue ninja, you will be asked to take an exam. Upon passing the exam you will be given a new rank: Genin→Chunin, and Chunin→Jonin.

What will the types of transportation be?

Walking/running to your destination, mountable creatures for land travel, and boats for the seas.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.0#msg18057)

How will boats work?

Instead of going into an instance and being teleported/moved to the other port, players will have to sit on the boat and wait as it travels across the sea for a realistic effect.

On the current map of SLO, what are the white islands/isles on the top and bottom left corners?

They will be in the game, but they'll be deserted. They won't have a continuous purpose, but maybe there will be events.

How many jutsus do you expect to have in the full/final release?

The main goal for the final release is to have 20 jutsu/skills per skill tree. The major jutsu skill trees are Taijutsu, Ninjutsu and Genjutsu. Jutsus like Medical-ninjutsu, Sensory, Shurikenjutsu and Kenjutsu each fall under one of these skill trees.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

How do you learn jutsus?

There will be public shops where you are able buy scrolls to learn new jutsus. Also, there will be scrolls hidden throughout the map in different places for you to discover, which will teach you new jutsus. These scrolls vary in terms of rarity and/or power.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

How will Genjutsu work?

Genjutsu will be one of the major jutsu skill trees consisting of only crowd control skills. This means that no Genjutsu jutsu will cause damage, rather it will cause vision impairments, slowness, snares, sleep etc.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

How does Taijutsu work?

The mechanics haven't really been planned out yet, but it will be a Hack and Slash gameplay. Taijutsu will be dynamic with fighting combos, akin to the way Ninjutsu is done with seals.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

Can I create my own jutsus?

No, because that would mean editing the base code of the game.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

Will there be transformation and clone jutsu?

Undetermined.

Will there be curse marks?

No. We have no plans to add curse marks, and there most likely never will be

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

Will jutsu react with each other with animations?

Yes, jutsus will react with each other. Water and fire will put each other out, and air and fire will create a larger fire. It all depends on the level of jutsus the player casts.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

How will blocking work for both distance and close quarter fighting?

Blocking will be a basic skill, however the mechanics for blocking haven't been started yet.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

Will there be a glossary/index of jutsus?

The jutsu that you have mastered will be clearly presented in your tree, but you will not know of the jutsus you have not yet purchased/found etc.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

Will there be sensory type jutsu in SLO?

Yes. There will be a set of Sensory jutsus allowing players to make sensory type their speciality. This includes, but is not limited to, enhanced senses for better evasion and accuracy, temporary night vision, and wider map display.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

How will Dojutsu work?

Mainly as a Kekkei Genkai, but these have not yet been designed so this is unknown. However, they will mostly be supplementary to any major jutsu skill trees.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

How will Kenjutsu mechanics work?

Hack and Slash, but with weapons.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.45#msg18076)

How will Medical Nins check to see if someone is dead or alive (unconscious)?

If a player is nott completely covered you will be able to check their status/health. As a later goal, players who are near death or badly injured will show signs, like blood etc. Kunai and other weapons will stay stuck in the player's body.

What are the available chakra natures in game?

The game follows the same set of chakra natures found in the Naruto series.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.60#msg17993)

How will my chakra nature be determined?

Unlike in Naruto, mastering one's primary chakra nature in Shinobi Life Online is something all genin level shinobi can do. So we are letting the players choose their primary chakra nature. Once their character becomes jonin level, the secondary chakra nature will be revealed and unlocked. However, this secondary chakra nature was determined during character creation for that character, meaning you cannot choose your secondary chakra nature.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.60#msg18091)

What are the chances of getting a Chakra Mix?

Higher than obtaining a Kekkei Genkai. 1 in 500 players will get a Chakra Mix. For more information read the following: here (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php/topic,732.0.html).

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.60#msg18091)

What are the chances of getting a Kekkei Genkai?

Extremely low. During character creation a special algorithm will be used to randomly grant some players a Kekkei Genkai and/or select a couple of players and give them a genetic mutation that results in a special power. These people will also be given the opportunity to pass on their special power to new players and progressively build a clan consisting of people with that special power. The ones getting a special power from someone else in this manner can call it a Kekkei Genkai (a technique limited to inheritance by blood). And in the same way the people that inherited their power from someone else will be given the opportunity to pass that power on to new players. This will result in some truly exclusive clans that have a Kekkei Genkai circulating.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.60#msg18091)

Will you continue to add jutsus to the game after the full/final release?

Yes. This is something players should watch out for.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.60#msg18091)

Will armour/weapons paid for with real money have stats/attributes associated with them?

They will, however players in game will still be able to match these players, not only in equipment, but also in skill.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.60#msg18091)

What are some ways players can make money other than trading

Players who can’t/won’t sell armour and/or weapons have the ability to make money by doing missions for their villages and the NPCs, as well as doing things for other players.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.60#msg18091)

Will players be able to combine or infuse weapons with their own chakra?

Players will be able to combine regular chakra with weapons, but it has not been determined whether or not you can do this with nature chakra. Combining weapons with regular chakra will of course have its own advantages over plain weapons.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.60#msg18091)

Can players design their own weapon/armour?

No, but adding your own symbol to an armour's design will be a feature available through the item shop.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.60#msg18091)

What will I be able to buy with real money in-game?

In game purchases will be only for cosmetics, they will not give you any advantages. You will be able to buy unique weapons and armour, but these will only be different in the way they look compared to regular items in the game. There will be other special items as well, not just weapons and armour, but the point is it won't be Pay2Win.

Back to the top (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?topic=1469.60#msg18091)

Will there only be a single server, and will it be Hardcore?

There will be a single server type, and this will be a mix between normal and hardcore. This means that the players will have the best of both worlds. There will be certain zones where perma-death is implemented, however you will be notified when entering these areas.

What happens when I die in Shinobi Life Online?

Dying basically brings you back to character creation. That is about as hardcore as it gets. But you will not die easily. Unlike in most games, once defeated by someone in a hostile fight, the person will get the choice to kill you or let you live. If you live, you'll wake up in a hospital in a nearby village. However, if this person is evil at heart, and decides to let you suffer even after having defeated you, then he can. We will make sure evil people can be evil if they truly are evil. That will make killing them more fun.

Will players be able to loot and/or pickpocket the bodies (both dead and alive) of other players?

Yes, players will be able to loot defeated/dead bodies. End goal is to allow pick-pocketing on live, conscious players, but this runs the risk of being caught.

Yes. They'll make you slower, lose stamina quicker etc. but once you take them off you will be given a temporary "buff" that will increase your speed. They will also give a slight bonus of experience gained in strength/stamina/speed etc. dependent on your training.

I still have a question that was not answered here. Where do I post it?

I have a suggestion for the game.

Suggestions are welcomed, but please make sure your idea has not been mentioned before. Use this search bar (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php?action=search) and type in keywords first. If your idea still seems original, please post it here (http://www.shinobilifeonline.com/index.php/board,5.0.html). Keep in mind the game is still in early development. Though small details are awesome, most won’t be considered until the bigger parts of the project are completed first.
