Why would I want to own land?
Because you will get yen for each mission you do in a territory that is owned by your clan! As of now, clans will befit greatly from owning land and training on their turf. You need to be in the open to build influence points and then you can take a territory for you clan. Once you see your clan on top of the influence chart, you will start getting yen for each mission on top of the items and weapons you would get otherwise! Now it finally makes sense to compete for territory, aside from the bragging rights. Now, I am happy for the time being with the new map feature and will finally, get back to building out the missions for all the levels. Hopefully this weekend I can add them all.

You mean I can't rock leapfrog any more?!
Sorry guys. A side effect of having to be in the same location to duel is that low level ninja can't go to all the places on the map. They can no longer gain massive XP by just throwing rocks at high level ninja ... unless the ninja don't care and is in a low level aria. You should be doing missions or having fair duels to build stats and high level ninja now have a choice if they want to help you.
On the flip side, as soon as we figure out the boost from owning land, you will be able to build faster. ... oh and one more small fix, xp will no longer max out at 4,294,967,295.
My sword can't reach you
Location based dueling is now enforced. You have to be in the same place as your opponent to due them. Ninja in the open will still show up on the ninja search but now you will have to find them first. Which will ad a whole new layer to the game. You can run away without using smoke bombs, play ninja hide and seek. Clans will also have to start patrolling the arias they want to hold onto ... which right now really doesn't matter besides bragging rights but starting this week there will be a big advantage to holding lands! Not 100% sure what yet but it will be announced. Right now it is looking like you will get 1.5 times the normal XP for missions on your own turf.
Duels across Japan
We are getting close to enforce location based dueling. You will soon have to be in the same aria to duel each other. I am hoping to add more strategy to the game, clans will have to patrol their arias and pay attention to who wonders in and out. Also you can play hide and seek and other games with your friends. As you may notice, location is no longer shown on your public profile. There is also a list of ninja in the open at each location now. We are ninja, we hide and sneak around, if you want to know where someone is you will have to ask them. Arias will still indicate how many ninja are there but you won't know who it is.
Why am I being penalized? I just got started!
Penalty points are now displayed as hiding time. This will make more sense to new players and now you know how much longer you can hide out. XP you need to pay it of is still shown.
Also, I fixed a small bug, now you have to wait 15 minuets after you are dead to come out of hiding. Before you were ale to come out and be untouchable on the map for 15. Happy gaming!
Mass shopping
Got a lot of yen to spend but don't want to hit the buy button a million times? I got the solution for you! Now you can enter how many you want of an item and just click the buy button.
Valentines day went well, we had a lot of activity and people liked the double XP! Next double XP days will be announced soon.
Happy Valentines Day
How better can you celebrate Valentines day then with some ninja killing fun! As promised, you will be getting double xp for doing missions starting 12:00 PM CST until 12:00 AM CST. Let the ninja killing love fest begin!
Duel your friends
Finally, it has become a reality! Now you can duel who ever you like when ever you like. Don't have to hide in the shadows and hope no one kills you while trying to have a private duel. Now you can challenge an other ninja and attack them any time without having to come out of the shadows and risk getting killed by someone else. All they have to do is except your challenge. The 15 minutes between getting killed rule is also in place now. This is a brand new feature so there might be some problems, please use the contact us tab if you find some.
Private dueling is coming soon
I just wanted to post a quick update on some of the upcoming changes. I am workgin on adding the long awaited private duels. You will be able to challenge a buddy to duel you. If they accept, you can duel them while hiding, in peace, without being attacked by others. With this rule, there will also be a no dueling for 15 minutes if you get killed so this new feature doesn't get abused ... but it will be nice, you will also be able to have multiple challenges open at the same time so group training is possible.
Also ... many of you have asked ...and YES there will be Valentine's day special. Double XP for missions as usual and perhaps some ninja killing love missions!
Also, missions are going to be expanded to all the new territories so high level ninjas will have a challenge once again. There has also been some discussions about some uber monsters that roam the land much like regular ninja but this feature isn't quite worked out yet.
Have fun and stay tuned! PS: Please respect the one ninja per person rule!
