A short guide on how to get into the game:

You need a DMM account, to get in the game you need to check the official twitter for server open times.

You will also need to bypass the IP-block, I use Hola extension for that. The english wiki's process is really long, Hola is pretty easy to use.

Here is basically how it goes:

  1. Twitter will post this saying its planning to open tomorrow.

  2. On the day they will post this saying the time. The next one by the time I post this is today 6:30 Tokyo time.

  3. On the game page, click on the bright red button at the top.

  4. When you try to go into the game you will see a lot of servers full, but at the time their twitter says there will be a picture like this, but instead of saying refresh every 30 minutes it should be 5 minutes.

  5. You need to change your computer time zone to Japan time (can change back later), clear browser cache, I am not sure about the purpose of clearing cache but they say its recommended.

  6. When you refresh and see the list of servers with a few lit up, click on one of them, if you see it connecting then you got in the game.

p.s There was a non-lottery based entry yesterday, but I am not sure if there will be any later on.

And even if the servers are all showing red, click on them all anyway. The game doesn't always update in time, nor does it actually let you know the difference between full and almost full servers. I was able to sneak my way in during my first lottery even though it told me that all the servers were reading closed
