I hope you're getting the torrent from 'Loder (RELOADED). That seems to be the torrent communities biggest theft-story so far... like what is it now? 80,000 leechers and 10,000 seeders? . Such a huge statement being made against EA and their use of DRM- if those 80,000 people had bought the game it would have made EA millions!
I am getting it from Reloaded, but not that specific torrent. The torrent I have is only about 700 seeders and 140 leechers right now so it's much faster.

There's nothing EA can do about it though. Over 30,000 people have torrented the game, they can't just send the FBI to their door and confiscate their computers.

Is EA using DRM though? Can they restrict the usage of the game downloaded by pirates? So far every 'pirate' I have seen that has the game is running it just fine.

The way that DRM operates within SPORE is to perform a DRM-check firstly on the serial key (which is normally attributed to an online EA account), and then to continually 'check' the game-status every 20 seconds or so whilst in-game to confirm that the game is legitimate. The way that torrented versions work is to use a crack-serial key and then stay playing in Offline mode with only Maxis content and creatures. If you chose to go Online and sign-in/register for Spore Online, the DRM system would immediately flag you up and your game would probably lock you out (or something to that effect, I don't know exactly what it does). Basically you can play the 'full game' from the torrented version; as in, you can experience all of the content. Just none of the Online or Community features will work. Personally I've ordered the game so I can have my own personal account, the online Sporepedia looks great!

Oh and the Reloaded upload doesn't crash at all- providing you mount the .ISO image correctly and follow the readme's installation instructions. Apply the crack and replace the Spore.exe with the cracked version and you should be able to play without pesky DRM demanding a valid EA-account CD key .

The key to space age is selling spices, some people pay up to 20,000 for one colour of spice, just bring shitloads of spice to them and you are rich.

trust me this man speaks the truth but, albeit shredded


build colonies only on blue>green>pink>purple spice planets, those spices sell the most to the right buyers, IE I can get 40k for one pink spice , building on red or yellow just gives pirates and enemies a reason to bother you more

I started today and I'm having fun, no problems at all. Currently in Tribal stage after mercilessly slaughtering numerous animals to extinction. Good times. My creature is pretty much the same one I made with the demo a while back, if you see them on your space travels, (my Spore nick is "trackrTy",) feel free to add a couple to your intergalactic zoo planet.

Has anyone been able to get the online system working when you've installed it on more than one machine?

I keep getting an EA message either saying the password doesn't match (even though I know it does) or the registration doesn't match.

The manual clearly states you can have multiple spore accounts.

I kinda ignored the tutorials at the beggining of the space stage, does anyone know how to collect spice from colonies you've made on other planets?

If you own the planet, just flying over the planet gives you the spice.

Keep your cities productive, houses, factories and entertainment to produce spice faster.

Add me to list btw.

Also, I used a drought generator to increase the T score of A planet who's atmosphere was too high, it said to keep it I had to put down plants of different sizes. I tried at least 2 different plants of small medium and large and they all said they were the wrong size for the local ecosystem. Wtf?!

You need a small, medium and large plant type. that will stabilise the T score then you need 2 herbivores and 1 omni or carnivore then you can build another colony on the planet.

Thanks for point out the spelling mistake Krazed.

But the plants don't stay there, all the different plant types say they are the wrong size and just disappear.

I played it last night and passed the cell stage. Needless to say, it's addictive.

first get the planet into the right t zone by lowering/increasing temperature/atmosphere, then plant a small, medium and big plant to stabilize. Then add herbivores and then omni/carnivores.

btw. is it just me or are half of the users in OP non-existent?

Have I not made it clear that the plants don't plant?

I'll give a step by step account of what I do, so you can say what I do wrong.

1. Buy drought generator
2. Abduct a small, medium and large plant
3. Abduct a herbivore, omnivore AND carnivore (tried with just 2; went with three to be safe)
4. Go to planet with high atmosphere
4. Place drought generator
5. Wait for generator to finish; T score shows on the diagram thingy in new position
6. Unabduct small, medium and large plant- information says for every one they are the wrong size for the local ecosystem (when placed they disappear and do not stay there
7. Unabduct each different animal- information says for every one they starve to death
8. T score diagram slowly returns to original position.

What am I doing wrong???????
