Will there be “friendly fire” (attacking teammates)?
There will be friendly fire. Where you can attack enemies, you can attack allies. So look where you aim.

What happens when I die in Shinobi Life Online?
Dying basically brings you back to character creation. That is about as hardcore as it gets. But you will not die easily. Unlike in most games, once defeated by someone in a hostile fight, the person will get the choice to kill you or let you live. If you live, you'll wake up in a hospital in a nearby village. However, if this person is evil at heart, and decides to let you suffer even after having defeated you, then he can. We will make sure evil people can be evil if they truly are evil. That will make killing them more fun.

How long will dead bodies stay on the ground before disappearing - "decomposing"?
Somewhere between a few hours to a day.

Before a dead body disappears, will other players be able to interact with said body?
They will be able to inspect the dead body, and being able to drag bodies will most likely be implemented into SLO.

Will players be able to loot and/or pickpocket the bodies (both dead and alive) of other players?
Yes, players will be able to loot defeated/dead bodies. End goal is to allow pick-pocketing on live, conscious players, but this runs the risk of being caught.

Will weights be implemented in SLO?
Yes. They'll make you slower, lose stamina quicker etc. but once you take them off you will be given a temporary "buff" that will increase your speed. They will also give a slight bonus of experience gained in strength/stamina/speed etc. dependent on your training.

Will the speed limit be removed if one trains with weights?
The speed limit will be increased, but it will not go above inhuman speeds.

I have a suggestion for the game.
Suggestions are welcomed, but please make sure your idea has not been mentioned before. Use this search bar and type in keywords first. If your idea still seems original, please post it here. Keep in mind the game is still in early development. Though small details are awesome, most won’t be considered until the bigger parts of the project are completed first.
