Just when you thought all this Spore stuff couldn’t get any worse, it does. Even though the Spore manual says otherwise, you cannot have more than one EA Spore account (for uploading your creations to Sporepedia and the like) for each copy of Spore. Explains an EA rep on the official Spore Forums:

That section in the manual was a misprint and will be corrected in future printings of the manual. There is one Spore registration/account per game/serial code so you are correct in that you cannot make multiple accounts at this time.

Pretty big slip-up there, if it actually was one. This is a really big deal, obviously, because Spore’s community features are one of its biggest pluses, and one of the main reasons why some people, despite thinking the gameplay mediocre, might want to keep playing. Plus, if you’ve got a significant other or kids, then you’ll naturally want to have multiple accounts for each person. EA’s community rep, thankfully, did mention that she understood that kind of need, and was forwarding the message to the team.
