1- The amount of villages are perfect in my mind, and they fit the map perfectly.

2- The whole SLO world, in theory, will hold events, if you understand what I mean.

3- There will already be towns and small communities throughout the Village lands. Think of the Villages as the Capitals of states. I.E Atlanta, Tallahassee, Austin, etc. Best analogy I can think of.

I'm in none, so this thread offends me.

Players should, and most likely will, be able to join multiple organizations. Joining more than one organization creates possibilities such as spies, organizational back-stabbings, linked org. allies, back-up "plans" (groups), and so on. Granted all of these CAN exist with only being able to join a single organization, but allowing for the IMMERSION would make the game all the more better.

I support this, as you get stronger you get more privileges therefore better clothes.

Do note that the DM version is going to have character creation. It will, however, be minimalistic.


What I don't understand here is "better clothes". If by better clothes, you mean clothes that look more edgy and badass than others, this is all opinionated. Ergo, we'd really have no clue as to what the mass majority of you would want: No information.

Me saying this is in noway a sign that this system will be added (although I do like the idea).

Good luck Shiv, don't disappoint.

Will there be main/minor quest lines to follow, or will there just be random events with players creating most of the action?

Yes.

Q: Will random NPCs have the ability to generate random quests/missions?
A: Village AI's will give out missions at random times. (Scripted missions ranging from simple, easy ones to complex, hard ones.)

how far will America go as far as lore and plot... Imo, there should be a bigger writing staff..

I am not sure how to put this in words, so bear with me.

America is currently tasked with writing each of the village lores, and yes, he may be the only writer, but we currently do not need any more; there isn't a high demand for one. This is because the game isn't near the MMO stage. The lores that are being written (that will be written) are here for, in my own opinion, two reasons: Firstly, for people to really "immerse" themselves into SLO's universe by reading and knowing the history of the SLO universe. People enjoy lore in all of its glory just like people enjoy books, hence the reason why Blizzard made their Wow lore into books. Lastly, the lore will be used for future reference when creating quest story lines.

The time will come in the future when a larger writing staff will become needed, and when that time comes the SLO plot/quest line/stuff will begin to take shape.

XD but the forearm in that pic is the same size as the wrist.

Joke's on you Shiv, the forearm IS the wrist.

Meh, I don't like this. If you find a rare jutsu, use it to your advantage, it'll just make you stronger and/or more difficult to kill. As far as non-rare jutsu, they aren't rare so go get find it again. There will be a lot of jutsu you'll be able to acquire from stores and such. Besides, it's not like a single jutsu will make or break your strength. In the end, the stronger the jutsu, the more risk you take using it.

By acquiring jutsu, I mean scrolls.

Edit: Not to mention the fact that perma-death is in certain areas. While you'll be able to "defeat" anyone pretty much any where, they won't be PK'd (permanently killed). You got the balls to go into the PK zones, you shouldn't complain about being PK'd.
