Dragonball: Online posted by Sharky on 20 Mar 2007 09:20

As we hinted at yesterday, in the latest issue of Vjump it was officially announced that a new Dragonball video game is currently in production! Known currently as "Dragonball Online", the game will be a MMORPG released on the PC in 2007/2008. Complete with character designs by Akira Toriyama, it's being developed not in Japan, but (under license) in Korea! Currently planned to release in both countries. I've scanned in the full article from Vjump, which can be seen below:

According to the article, the game takes place apprx. 200 years after the end of Dragonball Z (year 1000 in the DBZ Universe // with year 784 being the end DBZ). DBO gives players a true MMORPG experience in the world of Dragonball. Things typically found in an MMORPG like character customization, free roaming (or whatever you call it --- free to explore and do what you want), interact with other players in the game, etc.

It's also explained that Dragonball Online allows gamers to "age their characters" (as shown with the images of Bulma and a Namekian in the 2 scans). More information as it unfolds!!

Plot: One day, during rigorous training, disaster strikes Planet Earth! The planet becomes divived into parts by a evil group known as the "Eye of Darkness". With the help of Future Trunks (who suddenly arrives to help), you set out on a journey to reclaim peace to Earth. On this adventure, you run into other players with the same goal. Together, overcoming your limits, and defeating the mysterious mastermind behind the Eye of Darkness.

Your Thoughts please

The compass looks almost exactly like wow's rofl. Other then that looks kind of interesting but I grew out of dragon ball z long ago and I dont think I would like the style of graphics personally. If it was free id probably play it occasionally but I doubt it will be free.

I love the idea of your character ageing & of course DBZ rules

not sure on the engine it looks dated & much like current free games , & if its held 100 years in the future the characters shouldn't look exactly like Goku ..

I love the graphics ^^

As a old DBZ fan i might check this out. If it has a monthly fee im quite sure that I wont though... And I dont think it would ever have any succes of it had a monthly fee (Im a lot of kids will play this game)
