Game won't connect to the Spore servers

Hi. I've been having this recurring error for a while now that's been interrupting gameplay. I love this game and have had it for about 8 years, and I still like it even if it means I have to play of...

I've seen people with problems that sound a lot similar to yours when they purchase spore on steam, and I have seen it answered a couple times. It's not that same as the issue people are having recently when they install spore from the disc so this is probably the wrong spot to be looking @lilpez13727 . Good luck figuring it out though.

I just installed spore from the disc a few days ago and the game and all the offline content works fine. However as soon as I started the game and it should have prompted me to register my account, instead an error message popped up saying:

"There was an error connecting to the Spore servers. Your  computer might be offline or your internet connection may be having problems. Check your connection or visit Spore.com for additional assistance or servers status."

I've seen similar or the same issue come up, but there's no good answer of how to troubleshoot or fix it. the only answers I've seen were links directing you to some troubleshooting question about another connection error that isn't very close to the same as this one. If anyone has any idea how to fix this, that'd be awesome!

PS. The spore servers seem to be up from what I know and my computer is connected to the internet.
