Registration

Welcome.

Future admirals must create an account on DMM, 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.

Entry Lottery

Currently, the entry of new admirals is limited by lottery. The time of the entrance lottery is announced on the official Twitter account and takes place almost daily.

Finding Lottery Info

You are looking for a message on Twitter that looks like this:

There's only two things you care about in this message:

  • 9/20(金)【12:00】
    • The lottery will take place on September 20 at 12:00 Japan Standard Time (JST)
    • This time is given using the 24-hour clock convention
  • 【8,000名】
    • There will be 8000 slots in the lottery

Entering the Lottery

Navigate to the game website at the specified time to enter the lottery.

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.
