It seems some people STILL don't understand. All JMS related PMS are being ignored and deleted. If you continue to spam or repeat this then I may report those who continue.

Attention all Basilers. I have provided you with the information and instructions on how to play JMS. I will no longer be assisting users with understanding my guide or other JMS related questions. I've made the guide as user friendly as possible and easy to understand. I hope you all respect my decision and will refrain from any more JMS related PMS. If you have questions, help each other out and try to the best of your ability. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jaak.


Introduction


Hello Everyone. Welcome to YOUR Guide to JMS! Here you'll find just about everything you need to play the game, plus a few extras. JMS Is a great game with exp rates of 1.25x If your thinking to join just for the exp rates, DON'T. You'll regret leaving your friends and entire english community behind. Users looking for a more english based community in JMS, I recommend joining Kaede and Keyaki as they are the top english communities of JMS at the moment. Feel free to join either one.

How to Connect to JMS


Connecting with VPN

Step 1: Download VPN link
This is basically using a Japanese ISP to connect to JMS.
Note: This is NOT freeware. This is legitimate and may be used by anyone.

Step 2: Click the following link and follow the EXACT step by-step instructions on how to install VPN correctly. link

(Proper instruction for uninstalling is included as well)

To connect VPN: Open VPN, Right Click the 2nd option in the top panel, Select the first option with the bold (O). When the box opens, click the grey button in the middle/right area in the box. LET IT LOAD, DON'T TOUCH ANYTIHNG. If it connects, you'll notice the vpn icon in the bottom right tray table is changing colors. Also, the VPN network symbol (two PCs) will be blue and there WON'T be a red X. This means it's on and ready to go! To disconnect. Select the same thing as you did to start it, right-click, and click the third option with the bold (I). This will stop the connection of VPN.

Important


The JMS Community is a fairly nice community and will give you much respect and welcoming. ONLY IF YOU GIVE IT IN RETURN.
Remember: DO NOT Insult, harrass, scam, hack or anything disrespectful in the JMS Community. There are some people who speak only Japanese, there are some who speak both fluent there are some that speak just english and there are those that speak both but one not as fluent. If you meet a japanese person who is not fluent in english, give them some time. They will not talk perfectly so don't try to correct them or harrass them.
Thank you and always remember the golden rule.
-Treat people the way you wish to be treated

Earlier you said you did:

I solved it. =]
I changed my computer to Japanese instead of English.

How did you do that part?

BTW is the connection laggy at all with VPN, such as how is the picking up lag, or pot delay.
