How to register to,download,install and play Arad Senki [Pictures included]

EDIT:
Blah,I suck -__- didn't notice there is already a guide.
Mods,delete this thread.

Before we start,you gotta have the East Asian languages installed at your system,otherwise your Windows wouldn't be able to even read Arad Senki.
In Windows XP,it looks like this:

Now that you are sure your computer can read Japanese,time to register at Nexon Japan.

First of all,go to the Arad Senki Homepage.

The following window should open,complete the 3 registration steps:

STEP ONE

STEP TWO

STEP THREE

From here,you'd have to download the game and install it.

Once you've downloaded the game,click AradInstaller (.exe) and install the game like this:

..and now..

Wait for the game to finish installing.
Note:If it seems the installer gets stuck,fear not,for it's only your computer that suck.Just wait a few minutes and the installation bar should start moving.

Now,get back to the Arad Senki Homepage,login (like in the following Pic),and launch the game.

At the first time the game launches,it will perform a HUGE update,which will take quite a bit.
After that,each time it launches it will re-download some 1.7mb or something stuff..

Note 1:It may happen that the game updater stucks (not goes to low downloading speed,but the progress bar simply stops moving,no matter what speed it shows).
In that case,simply restart it.And dont worry,most of your download progress will be saved (all except for the file you were downloading when the updater got stuck).
Note 2:It sometimes happens that if you run both Internet Explorer and Firefox while launching the game,it brings up a "Run Error".Just shut down Firefox and try again.

AMERICAN PLAYERS ONLY
You may notice that even though you are able to download the updates,you can't play.That is because you are IP blocked (haha,Nexon NA,you used to IP block Japan? Get some payback).
But this doesn't mean you can't play.
There is a working proxy program for the game,called VPN.
You can download it from here.
I'll update the guide on how to use it tomorrow,since I gotta sleep..To be added.
