Tutorial: How to Register

In Recent Weeks, Registerartion into playing Kantai Collection is open. However, as of Japan Time October 2, 2015, game staffs claim the server would be reaching its maximum capacity "today or tomorrow", and when it happen, the unlimited registration would be closed.

Game staffs also mentioned that they would expand the server capability in Oct 9 maontenance, so the registration will probably re-open after that.

Registration
Future Admirals must create an account on DMM. An English DMM account is fine, then you will need a region cookie OR VPN/Proxy in order to access DMM Japanese website. According to DMM's terms of service only those who are aged 18 or above can use their service, and those aged below 20 require parental guidance. 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.

In recent attempts of acquiring an account from DMM, it says that there is a problem every time someone tries to verify their e-mail. To solve this, first click the e-mail link to verify your account, then when the page has opened saying there is an error, copy the url of the error page and paste it to a new tab and then hit enter. It should say that the verification is complete. It seems the site has a bug.
