Dragon Ball Online on Steam

I like you' idea Hope daneos will do it

It sounds like a good idea in theory but in practice i think that may lead to the game having to be shut down.

You have to remember that this is actually a real game that was made and developed by a real life company that made money from it.

If Daneos was to put it on steam and made money from it that way it could very well be illegal. Which would result in the game being shut down. Keep in mind that the core game files and such aren't actually 'ours' only server progress, stability, coding, and similar things are created by Daneos. The quests, items, story, content was made by the original company.

It's a good idea but it would very likely have unwanted consequences.

You do realize that daneos has taken the needed precautions to set this game apart from its original predecessor right? Also you have to remember if the original creators wanted to take legal action against this game why would they advertise the server revival on the old dbocom page?

Hello guys,
i have come to bring a suggestion to the game, since the servers are not totally good, I know that the game is in Pre-Open Beta and so there are some things giving flaws and so on.
But I would like you to host the game on Steam, because there will be more options for buying in Brazil, as in any other country. (In addition to using our native currencies automatically converted to the dollar)
Steam is also a bit more accurate on servers. I do not know right but my ping is always better on Steam. Remember that on this platform you can deposit the money and use when you want, such as PayPal.
There are some other reasons I want this game on Steam, how to attract more players and so on.

I know I've had some spelling mistakes, since I used Google Translate.

Tell me what you think about it.

Dbocom has nothing to do with DBO real publisher mate, is just a site.

It's actually not, it's run by a good lad that goes by the name Citrinate, who voluntarily hosted and created the site.
The official DBO website was some Wassabi shiznizzle.

not a good idea in my oppinon but it is good thinking i must say

You do know that dbocom is and was not ever affiliated with the actual developers, right? It is a community fan site. Also, because it is still using resources from the original game, if any money were made off of it then it would be illegal and could still be shut down.

To the OP: steam doesn't host the servers outside of the games developed by steam/valve. Each game still has its own servers and the ping won't be any better. Most of the games you play through steam "seem to have better ping" because they have servers that are more local.

Steam accepts F2P games too.

Steam won't accept Private Servers.
Only the original game developers can do it.

I don't think Steam would even consider DBOG. It's true, it's happened before with games like All Point Bulletin (APB Reloaded nowadays), but the game and its rights were actually bought legally.

So, yee. It's not going to happen.

Ya this would not work and would cause the game to be shut down, Danoes has to keep the private server running himself and it has to run off of "donations" in order to keep the game alive and not cause any legal issues.

Guys, I think the creator of the thread already got his answer, the game will not be in steam, that's it.

Okay.
