@TurtleShroom You do not have a Spore account. You have an EA/Origin account. EA/Origin accounts have limited access to the Spore website, you need to register a full Spore account for full access, as well as to use the in-game online features.

You must do this with the in-game registration form - enter your EA/Origin account email/password, and a new screen name for Spore.

However, there is currently an issue where you may see "an unknown error occurred during registration". If you encounter this error, check here first https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bugs-Technical-Issues/Can-t-register-account-in-game/m-p/10442269/highlight/true#M11906 and if you've done all that, see here https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bugs-Technical-Issues/Can-t-register-account-in-game/m-p/10442269/highlight/true#M11906

    How come I was able to download Spore-pedia items in the past? I have several that I downloaded on my home PC.

    When I get to the Main Menu of the "Spore" game, it tells me that "NETWORK PLAY IS DISABLED". It doesn't accept any in-game input other than playing the actual game. Logging in with my account OR trying to register a new account are BOTH  rejected by the game's interface.

    It does not tell me that an unknown error occurred. It tells me that there was a problem connecting to the "Spore" Servers and that my computer is offline. It isn't.
