I don't know if I should clear my browser or make a new email that's exclusively Japanese, but something on the site's keeping me out, despite following the instructions on the wiki to the letter, and as much as I want to play the game, I'm confined to reading about it (Which kinda sucks, because there's a huge difference between deciding which ship you want to marry, and actually marrying the ship. Wait for me, Kongou. One day). VPN is the only way to register for KanColle, and you need to be in JP timezone to select a server. That said all servers are full at the moment and the devs will tweet again once Hashirajima has been expanded.

The cookie method does not work for new account creation. You must be on an Japanese IP to make the account. Only after the account has been created and a server assigned to it will the cookie method work.
