I made this mud in February 2008 after having the idea in December 2007. I had watched all of the Naruto episodes and mangas and wanted to make a Naruto mud to reflect that.

We used Rom, because I like Rom, and we modified the areas that we had to make them Naruto-themed, as much as we could. From there we made many Naruto-real zones. We changed many existing skills to make them Naruto jutsus. We made our own. We made many things that made it like Naruto.

We have a long, long way to go before we are really Naruto. In many ways, perhaps we will never get there. Many people get frustrated by our lack of success in getting there too.

We have only a few people that regularly play, perhaps 20 or 30 total, and at any point in time we have perhaps 10 on at once at maximum (although our all-time record is 17). Because I am in Australia and many of the other staff and regular players are from Australia, we have someone on for most parts of the day. Just the same, we rarely have too many.

One of the keys to the mud, in my opinion, is that this is a 'people's mud'. Not only do we allow whingeing, but we encourage it! If you have a complaint, that is genuine, then we will reward it and restore anything you lose. On top of that, any bugs that are found equal 5 mission points per bug, every idea 5 mission points per idea, as at when they are implemented/changed. Many people get their names to ideas and bugs, so that you are not penalized for whingeing - rather, you are encouraged for making it a better place.

One day we hope to be what we initially aimed to be. In the meantime, please help to make us as good a World of Naruto as we can be.
