How to: Make An Ameba Pigg Account

Pico will close in just a month now, so mostly pico's are moving into the Pigg world permanently. This is the video way to make an account:

NOTE: In the video, it shows that you need to click a YELLOW button. Now you need to press a PINK button to make an account.

The transition is pretty difficult. First of all, most people talk Japanese, and for Ameba Gold, they don't accept foreign money. So most of the time you'll have to find gummie clothes and buy 'em. But there are enough visual cues from Pico to help you (e.g. places, navigations, etc.) if    you really want to find refuge in a Pico-esque community. 

Chances are you won’t be able to buy all of the eye-catching things you see other Pigg players wearing. Foreign (non-Japanese) credit cards are not accepted. So, you’ll be dressed in simple Gummies clothing. Your existence in Pigg will be one of modesty and simplicity. You get 10 free Tokens after you complete the tutorial. Use them wisely. Or save them.

Tips:

• Make some Japanese friends who speak English in Pico (visit World Community Parks > Japanese Park, perhaps). Find out if they have Pigg and are willing to show you around there.
• Download and/or use Google Chrome. When you visit a web page with text in a different language and asks you if you’d like it to translate for you.
  • If you decide not to use Chrome to auto-translate, use Bing or Google online translation tools.
• Follow the official Pigg blog. It’s updated daily with new stuff going on in Pigg. There’salways something happening.
• Visit the Let’s Play Pigg blog. It has many answers to questions you may have about life in Pigg – like how to get Tokens, play PiggLife, or using Scratch Cards. Note: It is no longer being updated as of Ocober 23, 2011.
• Collect your daily freebies:
  • Change your clothes each day. You’ll earn 2 Gummies.
  • Click the yellow present on the right side of the screen when in your room. You’ll get a free random amount of Gummies.
  • Visit the Casino to get free random C$ from your card selection – just like in Pico.
  • Prop others; chances are they will prop you back. Ring those who prop you and they will likely return the favor. You’ll earn 1 Gummie for each prop and ring.
• Play Scratch Cards every single day. You will win clothing and furniture items (but it costs 20 Gummies/scratch). So get ringing and propping!

It won’t be the same as Pico in a social sense. But enjoy your Pigg life nonetheless.

So to join, go to Google Translate, or Yahoo! Babelfish. Enter in the text: http://pigg.ameba.jp, and press the Translate button. Please note that the translation WILL NOT work on images with text on them. Then it will take you to the website. Click the pink big button, and it will translate the registration page.

The first box needs your email address. Click the box below and it will send a conformation to your email. After you clicked the link, it will take you to the site. The first line will ask your for your Pigg ID. It is NOT your Pigg's name ok? You just log in with it. Line 2 will ask you for a password. Make it memorable but not easy. (e.g. 12345678 is way too easy)

Line 4 will ask you for your Pigg nickname. This WILL be your Pigg's name. Line 5 will ask you for your gender. Female is first, Male is second. If you get an error, try re-doing it in Japanese. If your info is correct, type in the captcha letters. After, click the button below, and it will say your account is created. It will say your info. Then click the dark pink button to start customizing your Pigg!
