Tutorial: How to Register

Registration

Welcome.

Future admirals must create an account on DMM. An English DMM account is fine. You only need a VPN to connect to the game as well as to enter the lottery. Check out the Proxy Connection guide for more info on how to do this. Please read the FAQ section down below before asking any questions.

Here are tips from the staff to ensure you have a successful lottery:

• Before connecting, clear your browser cache.
• Set your PC timezone to JST (UTC+09:00, 5 minutes time deviation is ok).
• Set your browser cache to at least 1024MB (not mandatory, but recommended).
  • Chrome: modify the end of shortcut link into this

chrome.exe" --disk-cache-size=1073741824

• Once you reach the cat waiting screen, refresh every 5~10 minutes.
  • 5分 (5 minutes); 10分 (10 minutes).
• Do not under any circumstances reload the page earlier than mentioned in the lottery (e.g. 4min59sec), It lowers your chances.
• Those who do not make it into the lottery have a increased chance on the next day.
