Server error to login or registration online

Hello, I bought spore collection for Origin, installed and started the game, but can't connect online. Around I see that the servers are online, so what should I do?

    @RyuRazor94 When logging into spore.com, do you see your email address at the top of the page, or do you see MySpore Page with your Spore screen name?

    If you see your email address, you will need to "Register" inside the game. Enter your EA Origin email and password, and a new screen name to use for Spore. After this you can login to the game, and logging into the website will show MySpore page with your new screen name.

    If you have already created a Spore screen name, ensure that you are logging into the game with the correct email (not screen name) and password, and that your password does not contain special characters (the game does not support certain characters). If you get a message like "Network play disabled" open this folder C:\Users\your_name\AppData\Roaming\Spore\Preferences and delete login.prop file, this will reset Spore's online configuration and can resolve some issues.

    Otherwise, what is the exact error message you get in the game, and do you get it when registering or when logging in?

    @Authenticorgin Steam versions of the game do not allow access to the servers. If you purchased the game outright on Steam, and have a receipt, then EA Support can manually give your account access to the servers, but if you got the game through a subscription, then I don't think anything can be done as you do not own the game.

    Also, the Steam version of the game has DRM that interferes with many mods.

    The best place to buy Spore is always GOG, as it has no DRM, works reliably with mods, includes access to the servers, and includes all available DLC. Origin is fine too, but does require having Origin running to play the game, and the DLC is sold separately.
