How large will the SLO world truly be?
The developers envision a massive world. However, the specific size will be clear at a later point in time.

Will there be hidden locations, like secret passages, hidden temples/buildings/caves - that players can find and explore?
Yes. Players will be able to explore the SLO world and all its massive glory; become the treasure hunters you were born to be.

[Reminance]

How many buildings will players be able to walk in/interact with both inside main villages, as well as in small towns/villages?
The main goal is to have all buildings possible for interaction. Of course, this includes having buildings instanced.

Will there be evil NPCs?
There will not be evil rogue AIs, but there will be wild animals trying to survive.

[Reminance]

Will players be able to summon? If so, will players be able to make contracts with different creatures?
Summoning will most likely be in SLO, but as to what players will be able to summon is still undetermined. Most likely, there will be some sort of mount which can aid in the travelling of long distances.

[Reminance]

Will there be both private and public training grounds?
This will be an option. There will be both separate instances for public and private. Also, for private training friends will be able to train privately together.

Back to the top

[Reminance]

Will there be safe zones outside main villages, like towns and other small villages?
Yes. 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, a player can still be reduced to low health or chakra, causing them to be defeated. It is up to the police force and/or bystanders to stop the brawl!

Back to the top

[Reminance]

Will players be able to visit other villages safely?
Yes, you can visit other allied villages. But, there are perma-death zones in between them, so it will not be completely safe to travel.

Back to the top

[Reminance]

Will owners of buildings be able to modify as well as select the locations? (Will owners be able to add people to the "ownership" and also edit?)
They will be able to share ownership, allowing others to edit the inside as well, but players will not get to choose any location for their rogue base.

Back to the top

[Reminance]

Will there be missions and how will they work?
Yes. Village AIs will give out missions at random times. This includes scripted missions ranging from simple, easy ones to complex, hard ones.

Back to the top

[Reminance]

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

[Reminance]

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.

[Reminance]

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.
