<link>http://www.sporeuniverse.net/index.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1210371300&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[Following concerns by several people regarding the activation for Spore (rumored to force you to authenticate the game every 10 days) Caryl Shaw has sent Spore fan sites an email clarifying the matter.<br><br><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">Hey Spore Fans -</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
<br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
We wanted to let you know that we've been hearing your concerns about</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
the online authentication mentioned earlier this week. &nbsp;I didn't want to</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
head into the weekend without getting back to you with some information</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
about how Spore is planning on using this new system.</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
<br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
A few things we wanted you to know:</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
<br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
-- We authenticate your game online when you install and launch it the</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
first time.</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
-- We'll re-authenticate when a player uses online features, downloads</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
new content or a patch for their game.</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
-- The new system means you don't have to play with the disc in your</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
computer. And if you are like me, always losing discs, this will be a</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
huge benefit.</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
-- You'll still be able to install and play on multiple computers.</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
-- You can play offline.</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
<br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
We do hope that players will play online - sharing creatures, buildings</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
and vehicles with other players is something that is unique to Spore and</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
one of the coolest features of the game. Every day, when I play the</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
Creature Stage, I get to see wacky and awesome new creatures from my</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
Buddies on the team coming over the hill at me and I can't wait to see</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
what happens when our creative, passionate community starts sharing</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
their creations.</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
<br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
I'd love to write more - but I need to get back to work. &nbsp;We've got a</span><br style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);"><span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);">
