How do I get a new account with EA?

Do I need a new account?

I have Warlord Edition. I have changed my internet.cfg to the fake server. But when I click register (at the MP page) with EA I get nothing.

Is there a way round this?

Do I need a new account?

No! You don't. The official registration site is dead anyway.
You neither need a registration nor a cd key inserted to log in to the fakeserver.
With the internet.cfg changed you should be good.
Just try loggin in. I you have problems logging in try this:

- Check "Use existing internet connection"
- Click "Log in"
- Don't wait but click the "Back" (the dog-ear) button to abort immediately.
- Click "Log In" again.

Hmmm something's wrong. When I click "connect" I lose control of the mouse and I can't cancel the connection. I wait about 15 seconds and it will say "connection failed" and I will have control of the mouse again.

Could it be my Router?

Hi Lvondas, and welcome. I'm getting the same thing now--both the mouse freeze and the connection failed message after a few seconds.

The mouse freeze happens when the client game is trying to connect to the game server without success, so that's not an issue. It looks like the fakeserver has locked up and may need to be rebooted. I was able to log in last night (after many attempts using R'as recommended trick, gah).

I have determined that hosting games will not be an option for me because of my router, modem, and firewall security configurations. I am available to play, but someone will have to play that can host. Today I'll only be around for a short while, and tomorrow I will be playing Samurai Warlords in the afternoon/evening.
