Ok so I go out this morning and buy the Delux addition as the stores around here want as much for the Delux as they do for just the expansion pack.
I come back, install the game on the HP POS and go to
www.simcity4.com to registar the game. I registar the game, filled out the form, and clicked I AGREE. A message pops up saying that a confirmation EMAIL was just sent and I need to acknowlege it before my account will be activated and I can access the features on the web site.
That was at 10 this morning. It is now nearly 10 pm and I have still not received an email.
I did the smart thing and took a screen capture of the form after I filled it out just in case something should happen. The Email address was correct, both times, so I should have received a confirmation email.
Nope. So I click on HELP and it directs me to the EA web site. That site is utterly useless for the problem I am having.
So I go back to
www.simcity4.com and try to reregistar and guess what? My game serial number has already been registared and I can not use it for a new registration. So I try to log in. I get a nice message telling that I need to respond to the confirmation email that was sent to me. What confirmation email? I have yet to receive one. Normally such confirmation emails take only a few moments to be sent out. Not days.
If ever there was something that I would want to see blown up, it would be the Maxis web site.
