Very Positive Reception
We just hit over 300 reviews on Steam, and what more, in the Very Positive category. Thank you for the reviews! When I was preparing for launching on Steam, I had no idea it would garner so much attention and that a game like Nin Online could even have this much positivity.
We've been seeing daily highs of around 250 or more players and never even falling under 100 throughout the day. Amazing! Your support gives me and the other staff members a lot of motivation to work on the game.
The kinds of bug fixes we're dealing with now are very minor compared to what they were almost a month ago since release. The game service has been looking good, with a lot more stability, no crashes in the last couple of days at all. Seems like we just need to maintain this now! This update brings more content, bug fixes and features updates.
Content
Added 8 New Maps from Land of Wind to Land of Fire
These maps feature mobs not previously found within the region to give more player choice to how you want to achieve your missions. We'll be adding more pathways between other areas of the world so that you have more ways to get to any destination.
Features
Names containing swear words are now banned This is an important feature to have, but has only just been implemented. Players who log in and have swear words in their names will be prompted to change it, otherwise, barred from playing. There might be false flags, so if you feel that you want to keep your name but it's banned, let me know so I can see how I can help you.
(WIP) Wedding Event I've partially created a wedding event feature where players can get married by hosting a marriage event. I'm going to experiment with it on small scale for now.
Added Housing District Fallback Options for each Village Players who are no longer able to exit from their houses because they are in the wrong village will be sent to their current village's housing district that is set by developers in the village editor.
Jutsu weapon requirement rework Jutsu can now be set to be usable with a variety of weapons, any weapons or a single weapon. In the past, it would only allow it to be set to a single weapon or all.
(Admin) Added NC edit option for Ueda only For debugging purposes

Bug Fixes
Fixed Missions and Sharing Missions for good this time (I hope)
Fixed an exploit where you could use Flash Flicker while you were silenced
Fixed Pardon Message error that informed players they would not be able to pardon a player until a much later date. This was just a visual error.
Fixed Fade-in and Fade-out animations from NPC Dialogues not working right since previous update
Fixed a World Map Editor error
Fixed an exploit where if you left a EqualStats tournament, you could use those stats outside the event for the duration of the event
