216 years after the 28th Budokai, simple. I'd safe to assume is after GT.
But I thought DBO was supposed to not only take place a really long time after Z, but also replace GT? :?:
On hiatus.

Wrong, It's been stated 1000000000 times that DBO ignores GT's existence, and is the new Canon continuation of the series by Toriyama.

Dragon Ball Online is set in Age 1000, exactly 216 years after Goku left the 28th Tenkaichi Budokai to train Uub in Age 784, in Dragon Ball Z. During this period time, a number of notable events have occurred, including the appearance of a Majin race, the Namekians taking refuge on Earth, the arrival of what appear to be Yardrats in the Southern Galaxy, and most recently, a gulf forming in time.

The conflict of the story behind Dragonball Online is fueled by a villainous organization known as the Dark Eye (闇の目玉 Yami no Medama), which is led by a mysterious individual. The Dark Eye hope to achieve their goals through time travel and mind control. Mind controlled victims of the Dark Eye are characterized by a green gem marked with an X that rests in their forehead.

The Dark Eye's meddling with time primarily includes attempting to alter the events that occurred during the manga in order to gain new recruits by way of mind control. As the player, you are encouraged to go back in time through leaks caused by the Dark Eye to preserve these events. Besides working with Time Patrol Trunks fighting the Dark Eye, you can also fight the reincarnation of the RR army, the RP army.

That's pretty much the jist of it.

Imagine the worst fanfiction you've ever read.

It's worse than that.

I wouldn't be surprised though if once Funimations "cash cow" really starts to die out they decide to write a nice fat check addressed to Toei animation for more Dragon Ball episodes, movies, specials and stuff like that. I mean I know when Fruits Basket was huge Funimation tried to pay for the Japanese company to make more but there were complications so maybe one day Funimation will do the same with Dragon Ball.

The only likely senario I see is adapting Neko Majin to anime, but even that's far fetched. I could see that being made into another special like Yo! Son Goku and his friends return was
I wipe it off the tile, the light is brighter this time, everything is 3D blasphemy.
My eyes are red and gold, the hair is standing straight up, this is not the way I picture me.
I can't control my shakes, how the hell did I get here? Something about this, so very wrong.
I have to laugh out loud, I wish I didn't like this. Is it a dream or a memory?
