Updating Registration Tutorial to new version
This tutorial will guide you through the steps in order to create your DMM account and setup your computer in order to connect to the Kantai Collection (KanColle) servers.
KanColle is a Japanese browser-based game that is limited to users in Japan, but the large overseas community has found ways around this limitation.
If you have further questions, please read the [[Tutorial:_How_to_Register#FAQ|FAQ section]] to see if your question has already been answered.
==Preparing your PC==
There are a couple requirements you must in order to connect to KanColle for the first time.
===Account Registration===
Future admirals must create an account on the [https://www.dmm.com/en/my/-/register/ DMM] website. '''An English DMM account is fine.''' There is no difference between an English account and a Japanese one, so it is often helpful to create your account in English.
Once you have created your account and verified your email, you may move on to the next step.
===Lottery Tweet===
===System Time===
The system time on your PC must be set to JST (UTC +9) in order for the initial connection.
* For PC: Click on the clock in the bottom right corner of your screen, followed by "Change date and time settings..." in the pop-up window. In the following window, click the "Change time zone..." button. Select the proper time zone. Press "Ok" on all open windows to finalize the change.
* For Mac/Linux: Click on the clock in your menu bar, followed by "Open Date and Time..." in the pop-up window. In the following window, go to the Time Zone tab. Either select the location on the map, or pick the proper location in the drop down list.
===Acting Japanese===
For initial entry into the game, you must be connected with either VPN or modified cookies.
* The usual second line: '''開放日時''' is the date and time
** '''【3/14(土曜日) 17:00】''' means March 14 (Saturday) 17:00 ('''JST''')
To test your connection, attempt to start [http://www.dmm.com/netgame_s/kancolle/ KanColle]. At this point, you must be in the Japanese region by clicking on the Japanese region button in the top right corner of the page, or you will receive the English error area page. If successful, you should see the colorful game page. Once you click the red "Game Start" button, if you receive the same error message in Japanese, you are not viewed as a Japanese user. You may see the smaller version of the error message on the login screen if you are using the cookie method, but that has been known to be a false positive, and you can continue.
==Entering the Lottery==
For more information on the different methods of connection and additional methods you can use, please see [[Tutorial/Proxy Connection]]

====Windows VPN Gate Client====
# Head over to [http://www.vpngate.net/en/ VPN Gate], an "Academic Experiment Project" by the University of Tsukuba.
# Download, install and run the client.
# Select a Japanese server in "VPN Gate Public VPN Relay Servers".
====Mac / UNIX-based VPN====
* There is L2TP VPN interface that has been pre-installed in your kernel system. You can directly set it up without needing to download any clients or using similar software to let you execute Windows-only clients. However, in case your network is blocking the usage of L2TP, you will still need to download VPN clients to let you use VPN with different protocols.
#Open Network Preferences.
#Click add connection, then select VPN (L2TP)
#Go to [http://www.vpngate.net/en/ VPN Gate], and find a Japanese server that supports either "L2TP/IPsec" connections.
#Copy the server's address (eg. '''<span style="font-size:9pt;">vg2036075803.opengw.net)</span>'''<span style="font-size:9pt;">. </span>
#Paste the address to the "Server Address", and type '''vpn''' as the "Account Name".
#Click "Authentication Setting", then type '''vpn''' for both available textboxes. You do not need to change anything else.
#Click "Advanced", and tick '''Send all traffic over VPN Connection'''.
#Click OK, then Apply, and test the connection using the "Connect" button.
#If the VPN fails, try to add the IP address to the "Server Address" instead of the full server name.<br />If this one fails too, you can try turning off your whole internet connection for 1-2 minutes before trying to connect to the VPN again. This issue sometimes occurs when you suddenly disconnect from the VPN due to a poor connection or incomplete request.
====Cookie Method====
# Log into DMM.com
# Switch the language of the site from English to Japanese (日本語) at the top of the site.
# Open the Developer Bar (F12) and insert these lines into the console and execute (by pressing the [Enter] key).
