The link is the registration form. It's incredibly straightforward. The first blank is for ID, next 2 are password, then one for gender (left is male, right is female), birthday, mail address (enter twice), prefecture (choose foreign country at the very bottom if US), then whether they can email you (left is email me, right is do not email me), then where you heard about it (I just picked the first option, which is saw a tv commercial, but I think the bottom is option is equivalent to n/a), and then finally pick your occupation (good luck there, but the really long one about 6 from the bottom is college student, and other types of student are below that one). After entering, pick the left box, click ok on the box that comes up, and then click the box below your entered info. Check your email, click the long url with a sequence of numbers and letters to confirm the account, then click the green button in the link that comes up. You are now in hangame!
Let me know your ID and if you need help with anything.

Didn't Elspeth go to Japan for a year on some foreign exchange program? Maybe she can help you with the Japanese.

Hey Waisz, how's the Japan thing been working out? Has there been an immersion factor or is everything presented to you in English? How much Japanese have you picked up? How hard is it?How is Japan anyway? Hope you're having fun.
日本が大好きです。
It's been a great trip. This is my last week in Hiroshima. Next week is Tokyo, then Osaka/Kyoto for another week (during which I will be joined by my parents). I am looking forward to the excitement of Toyko, but at the same time I don't want to leave the volunteer students I've met here at the university. They're a great bunch.
The immersion factor is fairly real. I haven't been able to do a few things on my own because I couldn't understand, so I had to say sorry and walk off from, for example, a media cafe. English has been an option for a fair deal of things but often the volunteer students use Japanese first. I've picked up a rather fair amount of Japanese, I would say, but certainly I am far from being able to even do all simple transactions at businesses. And deep conversations are pretty much right out.
Japanese isn't very hard to learn, but since it isn't latin-based, vocab takes forever to build for me. I just need lots and lots of vocab.
Japan is awesome, though pricey. Japanese people are great; they're always having a good time.
I both regret that I must leave eventually and look forward to my return home. Eventually, I'll sort through the 2gb madness of photos... 
Oh, it's so much fun.
Found by clicking the second tab at the top. Translated what I thought would be pertinent.
I haven't got to the point where I can afford anything yet, so no idea on buying.
I have mostly been playing the RPGs. If anyone is interested in free RPGs that are like RO, let me know and I will make picture guides to them.
