Exciting News, Everyone!


We’ve got some fantastic updates to share, so let’s dive right in! 🎉

🚀 Unlimited FPS

Thanks to a groundbreaking discovery by iooi, we’ve completely removed the FPS limit on the game client! That means smoother gameplay than ever before, with FPS now going beyond 60! Make sure you download the latest update from our website to unlock this new experience (once our launcher is ready manual downloads won't be needed).

💎 New WP Point System

We’re thrilled to announce that the WP Point Shop is now fully operational! You’ll earn 5 WP Points each time you use the Wagu Machines. And speaking of those machines...

🎰 Wagu Machine Overhaul

We’ve revamped the Wagu Machines to offer even more rewards! Plus, we’ve increased the number of machines from 2 to 4, so get ready for a much bigger variety of prizes.

🐝 Honey Bee Event

As a special treat, the Honey Bee event will be live for the next 48 hours! Don’t miss out on the fun.

Enjoy the updates and happy gaming! 🐉✨

Founder Period Has Ended

Founder Period Has Ended


The Founder Period has officially come to an end! New accounts will no longer be able to earn the Founder status. A huge thank you to everyone who believed in us and joined our journey from the very beginning.

We're proud to announce that 255 dedicated members have earned the exclusive Founder status! 🎉

What's Next?

We are diligently working to identify and fix all remaining bugs in the system. Each fix is being carefully crafted and submitted to the OpenDBO open-source project, contributing to the community and ensuring that our solutions benefit everyone.

Additionally, we are developing a custom launcher, which will also be open source, designed to streamline the process of distributing client updates. This launcher will simplify and automate the update process, ensuring that all users have access to the latest features and improvements with minimal effort. Our goal is to enhance both stability and usability, making the experience smoother for everyone involved.

Founder's Update

Founder's Update


Hello everyone! We have updates to share, please make sure to read everything!

First of all, thank you for believing in the project and deciding to have fun and play with us! We have reached almost 100 unique accounts created!

Server Updates

The server is going to be updated today and will include the following changes:

  • Founder system implementation: To thank all of our early players, everyone who has played until now and everyone who plays until the 25th of August (included) will be forever recognized as a Founder. What does this mean? Your account will be flagged as a Founder, meaning that forever, every new character you create will automatically receive the [Founder] title and a [Pink Poo] mascot sent by Mail (check your System Mail tab!) by Arale itself! So make sure to spread the word to family, friends, and strangers so everyone can benefit from this once-in-a-lifetime reward! Note: Existing characters will also receive both rewards, don't worry!
  • Pet Fusion fixes: You can now fuse pets without using any items, with a 70% success rate. Using an item will guarantee a successful fusion.
  • Animation fixes: Previously, monsters were frozen between each attack animation; now they will properly idle between attacks. Also, player attack animations will feel smoother now.
  • Knockdown / Slip mechanics: If you managed to finish the combo of all normal attack animations (6 in total, unlocked at level 20), you'd have a 100% chance to either knock down the enemy or make it slip. This is implemented now.

Client Updates

The client has also received some updates, so please make sure to go to the account panel on the website and download them!

  • More localization fixes:
    • Identified the real cause of the crashes related to reflected damage. They have been correctly fixed, and the reflected damage will properly show in the combat log now. Unless you update your client, you will crash again, so please update it as soon as possible!
    • Improvements to early Human quests and random dialogs around the world.
    • Improved some UI elements.

Additional Updates

We also enabled more commands for players. This is the current list:

  • @online: Shows the number of currently online players.
  • @addmasteritem: Adds the item used to complete the master quest for your class, in case you lose it by accident. Can only be used after you accept it from Korin.
  • @addskill2: Unlocks the master class passive skill, in case a bug causes you to lose it. Can only be used after you have unlocked your master class.
  • @addhtb: Unlocks the main HTB and master class HTB, if you have already learned them. This is meant to be used after a skill reset. Can only be used after you have unlocked your master class.
  • @unstuck: Teleports you back to your Popo Stone if you are stuck.
  • @resetexp: Resets your level experience to 0.
  • @exp (on/off): Toggles whether your character continues to gain experience or not. It is used to continue farming without gaining any more levels, to gather gear for kid budokai, for example.

Good luck and have fun! 🐉✨

Official Launch Day!

Official Launch Day!


Greetings everyone! The beta testing phase is over, and we are proud to announce that our server has finally been publicly launched! Below, you can find a brief description of our features. You can learn more about us by navigating through the other sections of the website. To play, simply create an account and follow the links on the panel!

Announcing Dragon Ball Online Classic: Relive the Adventure!

Dragon Ball Online Classic, a community-driven project dedicated to preserving the legacy of one of the most beloved MMORPGs inspired by the iconic work of Akira Toriyama, is now open to the public!

Smooth Gameplay Experience

DBO Classic uses the original Taiwanese client, enhanced for seamless gameplay across modern operating systems:

  • Windows 10 Compatibility: We’ve fixed freezes that occur on modern operating systems like Windows 10, ensuring uninterrupted gameplay on any machine.
  • Linux Support: The game’s compatibility with Linux has been thoroughly tested using wine, allowing Linux-based players to enjoy the game without technical hurdles.

Complete English Translation

Thanks to the dedicated team at OpenDBO, we’ve achieved a 100% translation of all in-game content into English. From quest dialogues to item descriptions, every aspect of the game has been meticulously translated for a seamless and immersive experience for English-speaking players. You can review and contribute to the localization project on OpenDBO’s GitHub repository.

Own Your Adventure: Character Data Backups

We offer unique character data backup features:

  • Download Data: Save your character's stats, inventory, and progress to your local device at any time.
  • Transfer Servers: Take your character on new adventures by transferring your backup data to a different server.
  • Preserve Legacy: Even if you take a break from the game, backups ensure your character's story is never lost.

Interactive Systems: NetPy Points Adjustment

Earn NetPy Points by defeating monsters:

  • Each monster defeated grants 1 point, with the chance of receiving none or even doubling the points earned.
  • This chance is influenced by the level difference between the player and the monster, adding excitement to gameplay and discouraging the need to stay connected continuously just to collect points.

Accessible Gameplay: In-game Cash Point Generation

To ensure all players can access in-game items without spending real money:

  • Each NetPy Point generated has a small chance of also generating a Cash Point.
  • Use Cash Points in the shop to purchase items, allowing players to acquire premium content through regular gameplay.

This promotes inclusivity and fairness, letting all players enjoy the full range of in-game content.
