Same issue as Jack Black. I click join and just get an empty box.
EDIT: Okay, if anyone else has the issue, click on “Account”, “Edit My Characters” and create a new character with the same name as your account.

I joined up but haven’t had a chance to play yet. I downloaded it when it came out, played half of one game, then had to leave town until Tuesday. :(
Can I be senator too?!?
You all hate me…
etc
Works fine for me in Firefox after some massaging (not sure exactly what I did.) How is it borked?
The cursor doesn’t appear when you click in the actual edit area, have to actually click under it a fair bit to get into the field. Pretty borked. It might actually work though, I still haven’t bothered.
Thanks to the research above, joining up was painless. Joined as Marc0ni. Now to start a metaverse game. Guess that means I have to get belligerent and finish my current one … with violence (cultural’s too slow)!
I had Firefox issues too. Works fine in IE. Which makes the list of reasons to keep IE a little bit longer.
Hope to play my first Meta game tonight.

The Qt3 Shootclub empire is in the top 10.

Anyone get a weird memory error message when trying to add a character?
Error message fixed, but account not activated. Very weird. Should this be this difficult or am I missing some insanely obvious step?
I finally got in. My problem was I couldn’t create a character that would stick. Everything seems fine now. Firefox really has a problem with your site Brad.
Ahhhhh…soo after loading the game, entering your Serial # in game, entering your Serial # to get the update, logging into the Metaverse by logging into the GalCiv site, you can add a character only after you have registered your game by logging onto the GalCiv site IF you purchased it from a retail store.
I realize I should have figured out I needed to register my game online, but so many games automatically do that nowadays once you enter that stuff in and I had already entered my Serial # a couple of times in other places…I just got a little lost. I am going to the too old thread, see ya in a bit.
Bah. Walk it off.
I’ll have you know that after getting home, I found I had already registered my game, which I was told I had not, and a character I added where I kept getting “Invalid Serial #” messages had magically appeared without any further action from me.
I love the features on your forums Brad, but those bastards are slow.
And now I am finally done whining.
I’ve joined up as Ranier Wolfcastle.
Prepare to mock me as I singlehandedly RUIN your glorious win/loss ratio.
I’m in as Palmtree. Stupid character registration wouldn’t work in Opera so I had to use (gasp!) IE to register.
That bridge was crossed by me long ago … :(
I officially request senatorship. The bribe is in the mail. It’s 6 figures. Of course a lot of them are zeros to the left of the decimal point. But let’s not quibble.
Damn, there is nothing worse than playing a gigantic game for several days, taking out the two largest civilisations in order and winning, then getting a “(16) game couldn’t be submitted to the Metaverse, try again?”
I don’t think I did any save-game shenanigans :/
Anders - probably just a server hicup. You can resubmit games at any time. You can even resubmit the same agme and it’ll record the game with the highest score.
