Account issues do generally need to be dealt with by an EA Game Advisor, outside of those issues you can post here.

Hello. 

EA support are on holidays so i came here.

I have a problem - i buyed Spore at Steam with 2 DLCs but i can't log in.

When i press help button the spore site pops up where i can log in.

I log in, and then try in game. Nope.

It says that i have connection problems / internet problems or something is going on with the server but i dont have internet problems so it has to be server. I waited 2 days and still the same. 

Now i am here and i want to ask;

What to do?

 

I have Origin, i buyed Spore, Spore galactic adventures and Spore creepy and cute parts on Steam.

I am logging on with my Origin, Steam and the account from www. spore . com...
