PvP is Nins focus, role play took a back seat a long time ago.

The only role play experience is played through faction gameplay with Villages and roles.

A Game Master with the intent of hosting role play oriented events is what I’m suggesting, I think it can exist within controlled environments, just takes initiative from staff to create these controlled environments.
They’d be going above and beyond to track and record events, but I’m sure there’s a part of the community that would be appreciate a role such as this.

God I’d actually kill for this, RP is super fun imo and I’d absolutely love it if there was more of it

Last rp I had outside rp missions was the courtroom rp we did in mist when someone didn’t pay me back a loan, it was so hilarious seeing the defendant produce Microsoft paint pictures and offering it as evidence

But it is really hard to craft a scene and RP with limited perms.

sort of related kinda, but why cant we party with ninja from other villages, im a leaf ninja so i cant be friends with any sand ninja even if our common enemy is all these snakes? seems very shortsighted imo and somewhat anti-RP imagine multi-village teams being assigned on RP missions the kage and GMs all collaborated together to decide on

Kage Summit determines if your village allies with another, but yeah there is no mechanic to support turning off FF

Hmmmm yeah I would agree GM heavy intervention would be needed for some heavy RP stuff to go on. Probably an announcement a like month in advance, mentionings of RP Preperation, I could see things like Chunin or Jonin in game celebrations, or Kage~ this totally could be a thing for tournaments like roleplaying stuff like that out~ much like a DnD game, a player could prolly message the GM privately for any plans they wish to do with their character: like when Gaara was about to go to far against Rock Lee, or when Neji was bout to do the same to Hinata. Would be cool as hell, and players could definitely do stuff like this too

#

Definitely would be a lot of fun to see and be apart of

I was literally thinking the other day about RP being pushed. I was like maybe if htere was another server opened up, that was strictly roleplay based. but then I was like no that would divide the servers even more.

I mean we had this and the GM lasted less than a month

That doesn't mean that you try it once with one guy and when he fails at it, it should never be tried again. GMs running RPs happens in other MMOs with PvP as the core focus, even though it's not as well done/supported as it would be in a purely PvE setting.

Correct me if I'm wrong, yes we had it and lasted less than a month--

But did we really have it if he was given the role and then did zero with it until they disappeared?

im all for it, I wish we could give these gms also some special jutsus too like summoning npcs etc

Bruh, I'd 100% do it.

See, I think that if we were the same small group as before steam release, then I'd agree that it's probably not worth trying again. However, there's literally hundreds of new players/personalities. There's bound to be one or two that are stoked to be an RP GM. In my opinion it's time to blow the dust off the idea and give it another go. Make sure the vetting process focuses on maturity, RP/story ability, and general game lore knowledge (not player history knowledge, that's too fragmented and dubious between sources), then let them free.

It would be nice if these RP GMs could substitute as a Jonin level RP token giver.

I think there's definitely a false narrative here that Roleplay in Nin Online is dead. I've heard dubious thing in regards to how RPers were previously treated and I often see on Main Nin Discord the players that say it has no place or no one does it.

Clearly, there are plenty of people who want this but to be quite frank are shot down immediately. It also falls in line with what Ueda says in Building a more friendly community.

I think the biggest issue here is the lack of control a Chunin/Jonin/Kage has in their ability to make an RP mission. This is why I wrote an entire suggestion post in regards to giving them more power with instances that can be randomly generated.

The level of freedom one has over a RP mission/event is limited by the capabilities in which they have in being able to steer the narrative. A GM or in this case an ST (Story Teller) would be able to do things in which we can't.

#

Another important detail is that a designated ST would be able to actually curate in game lore rather than a player who randomly makes things up. At the end of the day, players can have all the head canon they want but this does not make it true.

ST's could easily create seasonal arcs that can involve the entire community while still maintaining the rivalry between villages. Perhaps even setup RP missions in which players from different villages can unite rarely to fight against a common foe.

#

Having In-game lore made by an ST would also create events and history that can be used for the CE quiz.

#

Nin Online definitely has the MMO aspect but is clearly missing the RPG from MMORPG. I firmly believe with dedicated Storytellers with carefully planned story arcs could steer this game onto another level.

You have the people who are willing to do it. You just need to give them the chance Hitspark.

Absolutely 100% for more Rp initiatives. If the tools were there I'd totally make use of them

I'd happily help test this if it's implemented hypereyes
