<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/dragonball-online/"><em>Dragon Ball Online</em></a> is officially on its way to the other world, as <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/netmarble/">NetMarble</a> has announced that the game will be shutting down in its two remaining territories. Korea's <em>Dragon Ball Online</em> server went offline September 26th and the Taiwan server is set for closure on October 31st. Once Taiwan goes dark, the <em>Dragon Ball</em> MMO will officially be no more.<br />
<br />
<em>Dragon Ball Online</em> launched in Korea in 2010, followed by <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2011/06/30/dragonball-online-open-beta-with-tiawanese-client/">releases in Taiwan</a> and Hong Kong in 2011. The game took place 216 years after the <em>Dragon Ball </em>manga series and was under the creative control of original <em>Dragon Ball</em> creator <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/akira-toriyama/">Akira Toriyama</a>.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2013/09/27/dragon-ball-online-has-reached-its-final-form/">Dragon Ball Online has reached its final form</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Fri, 27 Sep 2013 13:00:00 EST.

Heads up, Dragonball manga fans. <a href="http://dbo.netmarble.net/main.asp"><em>Dragonball Online</em></a> is now in open beta, and if you're willing to fiddle a bit with your PC gaming rig (or you're fluent in Mandarin), you can check out the game's Taiwanese client.<br />
<br />
Fansite <a href="http://dbocom.com/">Dbocom</a> is providing an English translation patch for the game's UI (though you'll still be at the mercy of your Mandarin skills when it comes to NPC names, quest descriptions, and the like).<br />
<br />
<a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/dragonball-online"><em>Dragonball Online</em></a>, which is being developed by <a href="http://dbo.netmarble.net/main.asp">NetMarble</a>, takes place 216 years after the conclusion of the Dragonball manga series. Player characters are responsible for repairing various "cracks in time" while playing through a game under the creative control of original Dragonball artist <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/akira-toriyama">Akira Toriyama</a>.<br />

Normally we don't cover the opening of games in far, far off countries, like Korea. They usually don't affect us very much, and we're usually not that interested. But how can you not be interested when a game's power level is <strong>over 9,000!!!!!!</strong><br /><br />Yes, that's twice we've used the same meme in the same article. We apologize. But <a href="http://dbo.netmarble.net/main.asp"><span style="font-style: italic;">Dragonball Online</span></a>'s website is finally up over at <a href="http://www.netmarble.net">Netmarble's games portal</a>. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akira_Toriyama">Akira Toriyama</a>'s artstyle has translated beautifully to the game, looking much like his signature style in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Quest" style="font-style: italic;">Dragon Quest</a>.<p><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/25/dragonball-online-opens-main-website-confirms-that-it-is-over-9/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Dragonball Online opens main website, confirms that it is over 9,000</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2009/08/25/dragonball-online-opens-main-website-confirms-that-it-is-over-9/">Dragonball Online opens main website, confirms that it is over 9,000</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:30:00 EST.
