Dragonball Online: Namekian Dragon balls

Post by Legendary Saiya-Jin » Mon Jul 08, 2013 10:18 am

After the Nameks come to planet Earth to live, did they bring their dragon balls with them to Earth or are they de-activated too with Dende's? Are they part of DBO's gameplay/ story at all?

Not sure about your specific question, but IIRC the Nameks created many sets of DBs to help the newly growing fighters.

I don't think the Namekian Dragon Balls are mentioned in DBO. They are probably either destroyed with Namek, sealed or hidden away.

Also, Dende created the multiple Dragon Balls.

Superman is, and always has been, a symbol for truth, justice, and upstanding moral fortitude–a role model and leader as much as a fighter.

Though never shy about risking his life to save either one person or the entire world, he just doesn’t believe that the balance of the world rests in any way on his shoulders, and he has no need to shape any part of it in his image. Goku is an idealist, and believes that there is some good in everyone, but he is unconcerned with the big picture of the world…unless it has to do with some kind of fight. Politics, society, law and order don’t have much bearing on his life, but he’s a man who knows right from wrong.

Too bad. It would have been fun to get 3 wishes with collecting just one set. Maybe make it drop way more rare than the normal ones, just for the sake of difficulty.

They may be available later, you never know.

If I remember correctly, one of the guides mentions that Miira came to New Namek for the the Dragon Balls.

Muri may have deactivated them to prevent Miira from getting his hands on them, and after migrating to Earth and meeting with Dende, decided not to reactivate/recreate Porunga since he is so much more powerful than Shenlong and the knock-off versions.

Dende deactivated the dragonballs after the events of dragonball z, however when the threat of mirra he created multiple sets of dragonballs but weakened them so they can only grant certain wishes (that way you cant wish to rule the world etc). there is no mention of the namekian dragonballs so i think they were destroyed when new namek was destroyed.
