I haven't even played Apartment Life. Spore just owns too much. My actual copy arrives today and it will be grand.
Bundled with SecuROM and activation schemes, what more could you ask for?

Does anyone have any idea, when game tries to do an 'online activation'? I mean does it 'activate' when the game is intalling or does it 'activate' the first time you play the game? (I want to prevent it from activating, since the computer I use for gaming is not connected to the internet...at all. The internet is on another computer).
So if it activates when you first start the game, I have no problem (see gamecopyworld ;) ), otherwise...
(Yes, I want a copy I can legally hold in my hand)
I only had to activate it the once online, it's when you first load the game. You can play sans internets otherwise. I do have the EA downloader copy though. Not a real one or an arr'd one, though I still got it for free.
Quill:
I'd like to report that despite changing my computer username prior to installing, it's still using my original username for the creator name on my items. I'm not surprised, but it's a completely stupid thing to do. I'm not connecting to the internet in Spore, so this hasn't been a problem, but it's going to keep me from sharing my content and probably keep me from ever letting the game connect.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how to change the username Spore uses without having to copy all my files over to a new account? My computer has been getting a blue screen of death when copying files, so that puts a bit of a wrench in the works. :-[
I wouldn't be worried but I have a very unusual first name, and I don't really want to be sending it out to the world if I can avoid it. It's too easy to connect it to me. If I had a name like Mike or Katie I'd be ok with it.

Thanks... I finallly got my copy yesterday... And it indeed looks like it only activates when you run it for the first time (or at least if you use the original exe-file, and I don't....).
I noticed it also checks your drivers, since it came complaining with a message simular to "you're drivers are out of date. Please update them." I could still play the game though...
Trubble:
Yeah mine said about drivers, but I figured it was just because I just formatted and haven't connected the laptop to the internet since to update vista and drivers and such. But it runs fine.
