Isn't this how Kekks are going to work anyway? This has already been discussed and the chance of obtaining a Kekk upon character creation for your clan (r it was upon clan creation) is 0.01%

Yes, but they didn't actually tell us how it was going to work. I assume Kekkei Genkai were going to be simple, so I'm trying to make sure that they aren't because from what I know if it they were going to be like Jutsu just much more powerful ^_^. That being said this isn't JUST about Kekkei Genkai, it's also about organizations and clans, and I was hoping that people would understand me adding in some official features in here because if I plan in being a writer for SLO it can't all be fantasies now can it? Additionally I also hoped people wouldn't focus on just one thing, but you know... Lastly I'd just like to say that there is some original content in there, but as a potential writer for the site I like to add pieces of reality that are better explained than some of the information given to make sure I can use it in official documents later, such as a features list.

I believe that Vreg and the team are still deciding on how the mechanics of it are going to work.

You guys really know how to let me enjoy my polls, soon polls for my other suggestions will be up but I want to improve upon this as much as I can first. That being said, thank you Isis and @Leebz for your opinions, and @Isis I'm going to take that as a yes.

I voted yes. It makes sense. When you don't practice something, you lose skill in it. Though I don't believe that the skill experience should start to decay until a skill isn't used AT ALL in say, two weeks. If you use it once before the 14 day period is up, I think that the time before decay should be reset again.

You have a very nice idea but I think that is far fetched. It would be nice to have a large variety of options and paths in game but what you are saying would be Life Online.
I don't think people will join Shinobi Life online to become a farmer or something else. Let's keep the things in Shinobi sphere rather than in Life sphere.
For example Mars's Ramen Shop, where you still are a shinobi but you still can have like a part-time job. Same with medics, police, ANBU org. and more others can be add in the future, but all having the "shinobi thing" as it's main pillar.


I think Leebz tried to say the same thing.

SLO DLC: Barber Expansion.

In all seriousness though, I do not see this being a popular feature for an MMO. If you have ever played an MMO you will know that there is three styles of gamer.
1. The PvPer - This is the type of gamer that seeks battling and being the #1 in player vs player combat. He takes stats seriously and will make a character build strictly based on power for versing another player.
2. The PvEr - Someone who takes skills in the game to take on bosses, quests or to battle NPCs.
3. The RPer - Someone who script fights and goes into detail of the theme of the game (In this case, Ninja RP) living the life of a shinobi from said theme.

Now you could say your suggestion of getting a job and a hobby such as being a hairdresser could relate to 3 and fall under RP. Though, as this is a Naruto inspired MMO the RPers will most likely RP roles from the actual anime. This would include being a Ninja, Kage, Chef or Rogue. I can't see someone going into a game called 'Shinobi Life Online' and saying "This is sweet! I'm going to be a lawyer! Where is the Law School Skill?" or "This is sweet! I'm going to hobby as a stamp collector! Now where is the list of stamps within this game?!"

As great as your suggestion is for the realism of the gloves that you can use (I know they're being created alongside Oculus and that mat/shoes thing) and the SLO staff do plan on adding those features in for combat gaming but they will not be adding these features so people can cut hair in game to a realistic level. In fact, I don't know any gamer who plays games to do such real life tasks. If said person wants to become a hairdresser they can get a real job as that and earn real money for doing it. There would be no need to simulate that far into a life of a shinobi as an MMORPG game is meant to let you escape life and be something you can't be in reality such as a ninja/wizard/warrior or any other genre of game out there.

Those were just can example, these would be more realistic for a game like for farmers in-game and ninja sharpening their weapons, and similar things.

I don't think someone wants to be a farmer bud. As for the weapon sharpening, I think that was discussed already but it was the blacksmith skill.

The tutorial will be the academy, advancing the tutorial will progress you to genin.
