Drag(*)nBall Z: Fighter's Edition

Drag(*)nBall Z: Fighter's Edition corresponds to Live Dragonball Z (LDBZ), a persistent, text-based interactive multiplayer RPG set in the Dragon Ball Z universe, originally created in 1999 and relaunched under the Live Dragonball Z name on May 1, 2005. The game combines free-form and stat-based fighting systems, uses forum-based play-by-post roleplaying rather than a graphical client, and explicitly does not allow characters taken directly from the show, instead requiring players to create original characters within the DBZ setting. A direct site check confirms the official page and its linked forums remain online and describe the game as still running, with past rounds lasting a minimum of 19 months each.

Why you might like it

  • A rare stat-based-and-free-form hybrid fighting system, combined with private character stat information, gives this text RPG mechanical depth uncommon among typical anime-themed forum roleplaying games.
  • A strict rule against playing canon Dragon Ball Z characters pushes every player toward original character creation, appealing specifically to writers who want a serious, long-form roleplaying commitment rather than a quick fan-service power fantasy.
  • Remarkable longevity, with the game's current incarnation running continuously since 2005 (and roots back to 1999) and past rounds lasting well over a year each, points to an unusually dedicated, stable long-term community.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • As a purely text-based, forum-driven play-by-post game with no graphical client, this will not appeal to players expecting a conventional graphical MMORPG experience.
  • The commitment level is explicitly high, with rounds historically lasting a minimum of 19 months, so casual players looking for a quick pick-up-and-play session should look elsewhere.
  • Being a small, decades-old fan-run community project rather than a commercially operated MMO, expect a niche, close-knit population rather than large-scale concurrent activity.
