Multiple Spore Screen Names Coming

A post by Maxis to
the Spore Forums has word that they are adding the ability to have up to
five screen names per Spore account, responding to one of the criticisms
of the life simulation (story), though they cannot pin down an
ETA for this change. They will only allow one online account per copy of the game, but another post clarifies that this
change will allow players using that
account to be logged in simultaneously on different computers under separate
screen names. The one complication is how achievements will be handled, as they
are hoping to allow separate achievements for each screen name, but to begin
with, the active screen name will be the one that earns all achievements (the
example give is one player logging 99 hours, signing off, then another player on
the same account playing one hour and getting the 100 hour achievement). They hope to fix
this with a future update. On the other hand, each screen name will have its own
My Spore page and each screen name will get separate credit for any creatures
created. On forum poster asked why they didn't
just allow five accounts per copies of the game, and the response indicated that
this would actually be far more difficult for them to implement.
