I think it has the potential to be the best MMORPG ever. It is a wonderful idea in theory, however I'm a little worried about just how they plan to pull it off. It's gonna take a lot of time and thinking when you consider things like collecting the dragon balls or going super saiyan. They're gonna have to do it JUST RIGHT. And I am really TRULY hoping that they don't screw it up. What would you like to see in DBO?

I'm going to get you xXvegetitiesXx! 3 hours from now. Once I'm finished charging!
Not yet, but if it doesn't I'm sure there are plenty of people who are gonna be pretty mad. I know I will be
I never asked for this!
That's why I'm hoping they don't make saiyans as overpowered as [everyone thinks] they are. Going super saiyan should be something that is really freakin hard to achieve, if they even include it (which they should IMO)
Because it's so different from the same old MMO formula.
You're... you're joking, right?
Dragonball Online
World of Warcraft
It looks like it's shaping up to be a WoW clone. And that is about as "same old MMO formula" as you can get.
I never asked for this!
It's 2000 or so years in the future and Saiyans are not playable characters, so there you go.
But, I have to admit, that screen looks pretty nice. My sister would love the hell out of it if it's any good.
Interest level is rising...

Also I'm not a DBZ buff, hate the show
Maybe, but I had reservations about the DBZ fighting games and they turned out allright.
I mean, they're no Soul Calibur, but they weren't that bad either.
But yeah, this will be worse that WoW's elf hunter community.

Budokai 3 remains one of the better fighting games released in the last 5 years, in my opinion.
As to the MMO, I really, really hope there's no turn based combat. Implementing frenetic action in a turn-based system never ends well. I'm hoping for Star Ocean-esque combat, with PvP limited to fighting tournaments (buildups sot hat the "high-level" players compete in the Budokai Tenkaichi tournament) or small group (4 on 4, maximum) engagements.
Leaving Saiyans out as a playable race is entirely due to play balance, I'm sure, but I'd hope that there's like, half-Saiyans or quarter-Saiyans or some variation on that. It's not DBZ if there's no yellow hair and lightning bolts.
This is VERY far from that in some ways, but really great for it in others. The frantic action goes against the very nature of click and roll, yet EVERYTHING was so "my power level is over 9000 i'm unbeatable OH NO YOURS IS 9001 I'M DOOMED!" which fits right in with the grind structure of an MMO, not to mention direct singular competition events like energy battles.
Should be interesting.
God, that joke has been just beaten senseless with a big chunk of meat, hasn't it? Sorry.....
I wish I could blame them if they choose to copy WoW (Nobody likes a cheater) but I gotta say, if you are going to take a license like Dragonball and make an MMO, why not follow the most successful MMO out there. I actually am sort of intrigued at the idea of being a martial-art-master-monkey from space.

Trunks fucking with the time stream. Apparently the Dark Eye are enough of a problem he needs to drag people from the past to teach the player characters, though they're forbidden from actually fighting.
Interesting it's revealed that one of the starting points is New Namek, so we might have planetary travel right from the start.
So let me get this straight:
Trunks brings in people from the past. ULTRA STRONG people from the past.
And all they do is train noobs so that they MIGHT kick the badguys asses?
DBZ is always so retarded. Goku should just go over there and kick them in the nuts.
Meddling too much in time in DBZ results in the creation of alternate timelines, so if they were to just go kick the shit out of the bad guys, it might not even count for anything.
Also this game needs instanced arenas for high level pvp where you can destroy the entire planet.
Or what if he just hops on a dragon's back and flies away?
The age thing is at the bottom.
Dropping trucks on people?
yes please.
I want to do a Special Beam Cannon or something
And Disney World is nowhere in sight.
The beta is supposed to start in Korea this summer but I can't find any information on it, so it likely hasn't started yet.
I would buy the game so hard for that feature.
Also, a Gundam MMO was mentioned earlier in the thread. I am highly intrigued. Did it get a stateside release?
I'm both looking forward to and dreading this game. Looking forward to it because, in all honesty, no matter how much you hate it you have to admit that the possibility for a DBZ MMO could be pretty badass if they drop the whole POWER UP segments. Dreading it because the amount of "it's over 9000!" and Chuck Norris jokes that are going to end up being mentioned in general chat for this game could possibly shatter reality itself. It's going to be barrens chat x1000, I guarantee it.
