I got Spore on Friday during my dinner break at work so I was pretty anxious to bugger off home and give it a whirl. When I got home and had it installed, I was greeted by the warning message that said something along the lines of “You’ve got an invalid activation code” but allowed me to play offline. I checked the Spore forums and found that all these other people have been effected, many saying it was only the EU but we got it before America anyway (that’s a first). Turned out their servers got pummeled and we had to wait till they came back up before we could get creations made by others, which I wanted to wait for anyway so I continued making Flying Fenix. That didn’t bother me cause I had stuff to do, but later on during the game pissed me off more. Click more to read on.
