Multiple Spore accounts?

Sawyl · 06-09-2008, 11:37 PM

I realise everyone's having a huge number of problems at the moment - I have to admit that I've avoided most of them so far, but the promised "multiple accounts" doesn't seem to be allowed.

Page 62 of the manual clearly says that multiple accounts are allowed on each computer... but trying to login with a second account says that the key is invalid (presumably due to it being registered with the first).

I would wait a few days before complaining, and give EA a chance to sort out the teething problems, but I'm not sure this is one. Has anyone managed to access online features with more than one Spore account, but ONE product key... because this is suppose to be possible, right?

Check the thread about this here:-

"You may have multiple Spore accounts for each installation of the game"

I'm pretty wound up about this, and have threatened EA support with trading standards.

I have been referred to "senior support staff" so I waiting to hear from them.
I've also e-mailed many gaming sites about it.
If you want them to do anything about, the support with the manual information and get on their back.

I'm soooo glad that me and the Girlfriend ain't the only ones getting this message. My name is mud with her at the mo. She couldn't remember her password for EA so played off line the 1st day we got this. When at last i could have a go(a whole 24 hours later) i logged in not knowing that this was a problem and now she gets the Invalid Key jobby! I hope that they make a fix for this and soon. I also have a couple of friends that have this game and one of them who only has one account had that message yesterday. He can now play online. But as for the rest of us we have no hope at the mo.
