What messages are you getting when you're trying to create an account?

 

[vimto1]

Your account creation request failed, please try again later. <-- This one... Every time...

EDIT: I try again later and it still displays this message!

Have you tried the Steam support gorups and email?

No, I havent, hadnt thought to do that, lol. I shall now though. Will report back if progress is made.

IIRC steam support respond really slowly to email, about a week, so it is probably worth trawling their forums, someone somewhere has probably had the same issue as you. Either that or Steam have an issue.

Possible that someone else had the name already - though if so I would've expected a more useful error message telling you that.

"vimto1"

No group or player records were found matching your search terms.

Seems odd, maybe it just didn't like your name.

May have just been a server error/outage/overload...like when you load a game up and it tell you that the servers are busy, please try again later?
