Log Horizon: New Adventure Land/How to Play

As it stands, Log Horizon: New Adventure Land remains a Japanese-language only game. However, Log Horizon fans abroad can still play it due to the game being a mobile browser game rather than an app-based game.

This is a step-by-step guide on getting started in the game, due to the registration process being all in Japanese. The guide also assumes you do not have a Mobage account already (if you play Granblue Fantasy or another game via Mobage and already have an account, you can just skip straight to the game).

(You can also play with GREE or Docomo; Docomo's registration is much like Mobage's, detailed below. GREE requires a Japanese phone number to complete registration.)

Registering

 * 1) Go to https://sp.mbga.jp/_lg?_from=globalHeaderNaviGuest on a mobile browser. (This page will not appear on a regular desktop browser.)
 * 2) You can also set up your desktop browser to mimic a mobile browser via Developer Tools in Google Chrome and Firefox. (If you use Google Chrome, you can also use its built-in translator to get you through everything.)
 * 3) Scroll down to where you see SNS (social networking site). Clicking on the Google+, Twitter, Facebook, or Yahoo! buttons will create an account with the option you pick. (Note: The Google+ login does not work, and Yahoo! requires a Yahoo! Japan ID.)
 * 4) If you do not want to link an account, the gray button below those options allows you to create a new account by email. The following fields are in this order:
 * 5) Email address (press the orange button for the next set of fields)
 * 6) Nickname
 * 7) Password
 * 8) Password again
 * 9) Gender (male left, female right)
 * 10) Birthday (year/month/day, checkbox is to hide your birthday from your profile)
 * 11) Secret question selection (click on the dropdown to select a question)
 * 12) Secret question answer
 * 13) Checkbox is the "I have read the Terms and Conditions" box
 * 14) Press the orange button
 * 15) Registration complete

Opening the Game

 * 1) After registering, go to http://www.mbga.jp/_game_intro?game_id=12025056 (if you registered via Docomo, go to http://lhz.dmkt-sp.jp/)
 * 2) You will be prompted to create your avatar. Note that you cannot choose your class; you will start off with Swashbuckler by default and can acquire new classes with Job Points (JP) as you play.
