Getting Started:

http://www.pangya.jp/guide_download.aspx - go here and start downloading the client.

second, go to www.pangya.jp and follow the arrows in the pictures.

click this link:

after that, you'll be presented with this screen:

after that, things get a bit harder:

SIDENOTES:
- your login ID has to be all lowercase
- if you click the yellow text next to displayed ID, you can get a facelist of emoticons. copying this into your displayed id (parenthesees included) will have your name and the emoticon you chose. like rgdraconic(carrot) or star or whatever.

after that, check your email. your temporary password will be sent to you. to change it, go here:

enter your id/temp pass:

enter a new pass, and if you want a new email. if not, just leave those blank or enter your old email.

by now the client should be done, so install that (it works like any other MSI/installshield, buttons are in the same place blah blah), and click Play Pangya!

i'm not too sure on the 2nd, 3rd options, so leave those alone. the 4th one, according to draugluin, "seems to launch a window by default" so it may be safe mode. or just windowed mode. either or. once you launch, it'll auto-update itself and need to restart, most likely. click the button for play.

TO END YOUR GAME AND GET BACK TO THE GAME DESKTOP:

hit ESC, click the white flag, and the left option.

TO QUIT COMPLETELY:

 hit ESC, click the power plug, and hit the left option. (left is OK, almost always)
