''Dragon Ball Online'' is set in [[Age 1000]], exactly 216 years after [[Goku]] left the 28th [[World Martial Arts Tournament]] to train [[Uub]] in [[Age 784]] at the end of ''[[Dragon Ball Z]]''. During this period of time, a number of notable events have occurred; [[Majin Buu]] created a wife called [[Miss Buu]], and they soon have [[Baby Buu|a son]], thus the start of the [[Majin]] race on [[Earth]]; Namekians have fled to Earth after Miira attacked and destroyed [[New Namek]]. Meanwhile, on Earth, many [[Human]]s have taken up advanced martial arts; some have trained under [[Krillin]]'s revived [[New Turtle School]], [[Tien Shinhan]]'s re-established [[New Crane School]], and [[Goten]] and [[Trunks]]' new [[Kikoukenjutsu Sword School]]; schools made popular due to [[Gohan]]'s [[Groundbreaking Science|book]], which explained ''[[ki]]'' control and [[martial arts]] to the public. [[King Kai]] also taught the populace of Earth (Humans and Namekians) the [[Kaio-ken]] technique, and Majins have managed to mimic it. Also, what appear to be [[Yardrat]] have appeared in the [[Southern Galaxy]], and most recently, a gulf formed in time.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_CphyUSoRKk Dragon Ball Online Promotional Video]</ref>

The motives of Miira involve obtaining the DNA of Goku, and achieves his greatest goals through time travel and mind control. Mind controlled victims of Miira are characterized by a green gem placed on their forehead, and his minions range anywhere from cyborgs to mind-controlled [[Great Ape]]s. After using the [[Time Machine]] to defeat the [[Red Ribbon Androids|Androids]] and [[Cell]], [[Time Patrol Trunks|Trunks]] was warned by the [[Lord of Time]] for his actions in breaking the law of the universe by time traveling and creating alternative histories which could lead up to the destruction of universe. He also informed Trunks of Miira's threat, creating destruction through universe by illegally time traveling. After learning this, Trunks takes up the job as time a patrolman to correct his wrongdoing, and stop Miira. He set off to the past and warned [[Dende]] and [[Piccolo]] of Miira's threat.

−
After their second home planet ([[New Namek]]) was destroyed by [[Miira]] sometime after the end of ''Dragon Ball Z'', Namekians migrated to Earth. In ''Dragon Ball Online'', Namekians are reported to live in deserted areas where they still live by their Namekian heritage; raising powerful warriors (Warrior, Dark Warrior, Shadow Knight), summoners (Poko Priest), and healers (Dende Priest). Once reaching the required level, Namekians may obtain and undergo a transformation similar to the [[Giant Form]]; known as ''Great Namek'' in the game. During the Great Namek transformation, a Namekian will grow in size; this causes their speed to decrease drastically, but are reported to have high defense during this transformation. A majority of the skill tree becomes unusable during the duration of the transformation, however transformation-exclusive skills can be learned that deliver high "area-of-effect" damage. In ''Dragon Ball Online'', the Namekian class is very defensive; Dragon Clan and its succeeding classes having a series of healing buffs and Warrior and its master class skill trees having defensive buffs.

*'''[[Dragon Clan]]''' – Members of the Namekian support caste which have abilities that pertain to magic, such as [[Kami]]. Dragon Clan is noted to be the only core class that requires the player to have a weapon (Staff) equipped. [[Antenna Beam]], [[Energy Cannon]], [[Continuous Energy Bullet|Energy Bullets]], [[Super Energy Wave Volley|Super Energy Bullets]], among various healing buffs are part of the Dragon Clan skill tree. Once reaching the required level of skill, a Dragon Clan can choose one of two secondary careers: '''[[Dende Priest]]''', a master class with more powerful healing abilities, or '''[[Poko Priest]]''', a master class that grants them [[Pokopen|summoning abilities]] to bring forth [[Mutated Namek|monsters]] that do their bidding, similar to [[King Piccolo]].
