If you are using the disc version, you can no longer log into spore servers due to a new dumb update. You have to uninstall spore on your computer and reinstall spore on Origin, using the codes found in your game manual. If it doesnt work, contact EA for assistance.

I had this same problem, which seriously upset me considering i've had this game for almost 11 years and now this dumb update takes it all away...
