Found solution. It wants you to have an EA account, but an EA account isn't a Spore account. So I'm logged into my steam account to run it, reset the password to my EA account ina web browser, adn then from within the game use the screen that says "create new EA account" that really should say "create new SPORE account" and hti the right arrow, and that made me yet another account so now I can play.
Way to see if you have a Spore account in addition to your EA account is to go to www.spore.com/view/myspore/USERNAME (for whatever your username is).

My problem is: I can not find any way to register myself... when I hit the "Register" botton I get the server connection error.
On Spore.com there is no registration botton either.
Any Ideas?
I've run into that problem too. I even tried adding it and installing it through origin since you can add the game there but I still get a server connection error.
