Q: Will there only be a single server (type), and will it be Hardcore?
A: There will be a single server type, and this will be a mix between normal and hardcore. This means that the best of both worlds will be implemented like perma-death (only in certain zones and players will be notified when entering such a zone).
Q: Will SLO allow characters to have a different eye color for each eye?
A: No, there will not be an option in the character selection. However, premium members will have the option to change their eye color(s) once per character (This means you can have two different colors).
Q: Will becoming rogue before reaching the rank of Jonin prohibit you from getting two chakra natures if and when you do become Jonin?
A: Becoming a rogue ninja before you reach the official rank of Jonin will not prohibit you from getting your second chakra nature. However, 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.
Q: How many jutsus do you expect to have in the full/final release?
A: The main goal for the final release is to have 20 jutsu/skills per skill tree. (Genjutsu, Ninjutsu, etc.)
Q: Will you continue to add jutsus to the game after the full/final release?
A: Of course.
Q: Will the NPCs that teach players jutsus be out in the open for all to use, or will they be hidden with a reward (Like teaching the jutsu) if a player finds them?
A: There won't be NPCs that -teach- jutsu, rather there will be public shops where you may buy scrolls to learn new jutsu. Also, there will be scrolls hidden throughout the map in hidden places for you to explore and learn new jutsu. These scrolls, in terms of rarity/power, vary.
Q: Will Genjutsu be implemented in the game? If so, will the Genjutsu be a full skill tree, or will the skills only be slight illusions etc. in order to CC your opponent?
A: It will. Genjutsu will be a full skill tree consisting of only CC skills. This means that no Genjutsu jutsu will cause damage, rather it will cause vision impairments, slows, snares, etc.
Q: Has the team began working on the Taijutsu mechanics?
A: No, the mechanics haven't really been planned out yet, but Taijutsu will be dynamic with combos, like Ninjutsu with seals.
Q: What will players be able to customize in the character creation? Deathmatch and Final release?
A: The goal is to have a good, but very minimal, amount of character creation options like hair color, hair style, skin tone, eye color etc. The final release, however, will be much more intricate and in-depth.
Q: Will armor/weapons paid for with real money have stats/attributes associated with them?
A: They will, however players in game will still have the opportunity to have an equally strong weapon. SLO will be mostly based off of skill.

Q: Will you add "Dark Chakra" into SLO?
A: No...
Q: Will the game be based off of your skill (training to get stats) or gear based (gear gives stats)
A: SLO is based off of skill level, so you will need to train to get stats. I.E: Running to increase speed and stamina.
Q: Will players be using points for their upgrades, or will the skills automatically update? (Do players choose their stats to level up?)
A: The upgrades are directly linked to what the players do. You won't -choose- what to upgrade since there won't be an overall -level-, rather upgrades will come as players continue to play and train specific attributes. I.E: Running for speed and stamina, continuing to do jutsu to increase hand-sign speed and the strength of said jutsu.
Q; Will there be a jutsu like the "Altering Terrain Technique" in SLO? (A jutsu that uses a scroll to alter terrain by drawing on it.)

Q: Will players be able to combine/overlap shuriken with their own chakra?
A: Players will be able to combine regular chakra with shuriken, as far as nature chakra (Lightning, wind, etc) this has not yet been determined. Combining with regular chakra will of course have it's advantages over plain shuriken.
Q: Will players be able to use transformation jutsu?
A: Undetermined.
Q: Will players be able to loot and/or pickpocket the bodies (both dead and alive) of other players?

Q: How long will dead bodies stay on the ground before disappearing "decomposing"?
A: Somewhere between a few hours to a full day.
Q: Before a dead body disappears, will other players be able to interact with said body?
A: They will be able to inspect the dead body, and being able to drag bodies will most likely be implemented into SLO.
Q: Will players have to use a specific jutsu in order to rank/level that jutsu up?
A: Using a specific jutsu rank that jutsu up, but will also contribute slightly to similar jutsu. I.E: If you use fire breath, you will be training that specific jutsu, but this training will also be considered training for the extremely similar fire ball jutsu. Granted, the experience gone into fire ball jutsu is still undetermined. However, two completely different jutsu will not contribute to each other.

A: Yes. There will be an entire technique tree of its own allowing for players to make sensory type their specialty.

A: This will be an option. There will be both separate instances for public and private.
Q: Will there be safe zones outside main villages, like towns and other small villages?
A: Every place outside of the perma-death zones is considered a safe zone, however within these safe zones you can still be "defeated". This includes inside main villages. If two people are fighting, one can still be put to a low amount of health or chakra causing them to be defeated. It's up to the police force or bystanders to stop the brawl!
Q: Will players be able to visit other villages safely?
A: There are perma-death zones in between them, so it won't be completely safe. It will take time to travel, but it will be pretty safe. You could always beg for your life via mic since there will be voice communication.
Q: Will players have the opportunity to become a "cop" ninja?
A: There will be a police force for players to fulfill their life long dream. There will be NPC police, but this is dependent on the amount of player police.

Q: How will the Kenjutsu mechanics work?
A: Similar to Mount and Blade.
Q: What will the variations of transportation be?
A: Walking/running to your destination. Otherwise horses will be in SLO for land travel and boats for the sea!
Q: How will boats work? (Like boats/zeppelins in WoW?)
A: They will not work like in WoW. Rather than going through 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. Why make boat travel instant when you'd have to take time going across the land?
Q: How will rogue bases work? (Instanced?)
A: Rogue bases will be instanced, yes.
Q: Will owners of buildings/bases be able to edit/modify as well as select the locations? (Will owners be able to add people to the "ownership" and also edit?)

A: There won't be evil rogue AI's, but there will be wild animals trying to survive.
Q: What will the ranking system be like and how will it work?
A: The ranking system will be based off of ELO. As you play SLO and defeat or are defeated in battle, your ELO will change accordingly. 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. I.E: Genin --> Chunin, and Chunin --> Jonin.
Q: Will there be animations for simple tasks such as opening and rearranging items in a player's inventory or trading?
A: There will be animations for simple tasks, but these would come much later.
Q: Will jutsu react with each other with animations when they come into contact? (Stone walls breaking, steam from water and fire, etc.)
A: Yes, jutsu will react with each other. Water and fire will put each other out, and air and fire will create a larger fire.
Q: How will blocking work for both distance and close quarter fighting? (Jutsu, kunai, swords, etc.)
A: Blocking is going to become a skill, however the mechanics for blocking haven't been started yet.
Q: Will there be a glossary/index of Jutsu that will tell you how to use and what they do?
A: The jutsu that you have mastered will be clearly presented in your tree, but the ones you don't know you will need to buy and read scrolls, etc. The tree's will be the glossary/index.
Q: How will Medical nin check to see if someone is dead or alive (unconscious)?
A: If a player isn't completely covered you will be able to check their status/health. As a later goal, players who are near death or badly injured they will show signs, like blood spatters, etc. Kunai and others will stay stuck in the players body.
Q: What are the chances of getting a Kekkei Genkai?
A: Extremely low.
Q: What are the chances of getting a Chakra Mix?
A: High than getting a KG. 1-500 players will get a Chakra Mix.
