I tried signing up a friend about two days ago and the cookie method of signing up, like I originally did. Trying to get the registration page (entering your name and birthday etc) never worked, I always kept getting the "out of area" error. I'm fairly sure this is to do with the changes that DragonJet has mentioned about cookies etc.

The only way I could get around it was by setting up a VPN with http://www.vpngate.net/en/ and actually staying on the VPN after logging in, then going to http://www.dmm.com/netgame/social/-/gadgets/=/app_id=854854/ to start the game (I also used the JST timezone to make sure). From there I got to enter the name/birthdate and continue to the server selection screen and start the process of choosing the in-game name and starter ship.

Without using the VPN, everytime I tried to select the server, I was cat bombed like you're getting.

After doing all of the above, I switched the VPN off and checked to see if I could login, everything works as expected. I gave the details to my friend and got them set up on KCV and they're playing just fine.

tl;dr, use VPN throughout the entire registration process.
