I just saw this and it looks awesome Anybody knew about this?
Dragon Ball Online beta delayed to end 2008-2009. English language release possible in America and Europe



The PC fantasy Massive Multiplayer Online RPG “Dragon Ball Online” takes place on Earth, 216 years after the events at the conclusion of the Dragon Ball Z manga series. Saiyans no longer exist in this Age 1000 world, but you will be able create Human, Namekian, and Majin characters to play as. Don’t worry attacks like Kienzan and Kamehameha are still in the game, and as the Dragon Ball Online videos show, you’ll still be able to see Saiyans during Timemachine Quests: These quests have Time Patrol Trunks guide you as you travel back in time to take part in important moments of Dragon Ball history.
The Dragon Ball Online beta test was supposed to begin in South Korea in the summer of 2007, but development was delayed by a year, so the beta is currently scheduled to go live in Korea by the end of 2008, and in Japan in 2009. No American and European releases have been announced yet, although in a Dragon Ball Online press conference held in South Korea on February 14th, 2008, Dragon Ball Online developer NTL expressed interest in releasing the game to a worldwide audience with Bandai Korea president, Yosiaki Emoto, saying: “As for the MMORPG market in Japan and Europe and America, they are still young and distant. It makes the flow of where to start easy, from a new game in Korea it keeps spreading to the entire world… Dragon Ball Online [in South Korea] is only the beginning, we are convinced of that.”

Fans of the series should be happy to hear that series creator Akira Toriyama has a great deal of creative control over the project, aside from completely ignoring Dragon Ball GT, he contributes and supervizes the story and art design, including character and location arrangements. In fact, it’s been stated that Mr. Toriyama has been working on character designs for this project for the last five years.

Here are the game’s races and character classes:
HUMAN:
* Martial Artist — Fighters who specialize in martial arts, comparable to characters like Yamucha or Tenshinhan.
* Spiritualist — Mystics who specialize in spiritual, ki-based techniques.
* Engineer — Mechanics and inventors who build weapons and utilize technology, much like Bulma.
NAMEKIAN:
* Dragon Clan — Members of the Namekian support caste which have abilities including healing, such as Dende or Kami.
* Warrior — Members of the Namekian warrior caste, which includes Piccolo and Nail.
MAJIN:
* Strange Majin — Slender, evil-looking Majin who have a similar appearance to Majin Buu’s original, pure form.
* Large Majin — Fat, happy-looking Majin who resemble Majin Buu’s good form.

I posted about this earlier in the year (June I think) but i'm glad it's getting more attention now...I love Dragonball / Dragonball Z, and this seems more manga-oriented, which is nice.

I wasn't complaining...like I said, my thread was largely ignored last time so I'm glad it's getting the attention now.
