This tutorial will guide you through the process of creating an account to play Kantai Collection on PC. It is nominally region locked to Japan but anyone outside Japan can play by jumping through a few hoops.
Please read the FAQ for additional help. If you are still having problems registering, you can try the Kancolle Wiki Discord for further assistance.
Step 1: DMM Account
The first thing that must be done is creating an account on the DMM website. It does not matter if the account is created using the English or Japanese interface. They are functionally the same so using the English interface may make the sign-up process smoother. You will receive a verification email once you register. Follow the link sent to you to complete the registration.
Step 2: Bypassing Region Lock
Main article: Tutorial: Connection
You will need a Japanese VPN in order to sign up for the game. Refer to the main article for detailed instructions.
You are successful in bypassing the region lock if you see the Game Information page when you visit the KanColle page.
KanColle Game Information Page
Japanese Region Button
DMM English Error Area Page
DMM Japanese Error Area Page
DMM Japanese Error Area Page on login screen
Step 3: KanColle Enrollment
Once you have clicked the large red button at the top of the KanColle page, you will have to complete a three-step enrollment process in order to get in the game.
You have to enter 3 pieces of information, from the top to the bottom:
- Nickname
- Gender (Male/Female)
- Birth date
Once completed press the yellow button at the bottom. The next two windows are confirmation windows, so click the yellow button on each to proceed to the next page.
Step 4: Server Selection
After enrollment, you will be presented with a server selection page. Simply pick the server you wish to join. The only advantage to picking servers is for having an easier time Ranking. Servers are otherwise identical.
Once you've selected a server, you're in the game! For further guidance through the starting tutorial, please see Tutorial: How to Play
.
You will need to sync your computer time with internet time in order to access KanColle properly. Please use a search engine to find the instructions for your specific operating system.
