How to fix Hytale email verification not sending

Hytale is a ton of fun in early access…if you’re able to get onto the game.

Buying and playing Hytale requires making an account with Hypixel, the developers of the game, but some players are having problems getting past that point in the process. Dozens upon dozens of gamers are reporting problems with the sign-up operation, and that’s no fun for anyone.

Here’s what we know so far about Hytale’s verification code emails having problems.

Hytale email verification code not sending

On launch day of Hytale’s early access (Jan. 13, 2026), many players are reporting issues with receiving their verification code email, which is a requirement for signing up to play the game. This is due to the system being overloaded with players all attempting to do so.

Hypixel Studios head Simon Collins-Laflamme remarked in the days leading up to launch that they were expecting to have issues, and warned players to download and log in to the launcher “to help us significantly reduce launch-day stress.”

Simon again posted on Twitter/X on Jan. 13, saying this: “We are seeing a VERY HIGH rate of new Hytale players; there might be issues with login/emails. It’s slowly catching up!”

I signed up for Hytale a week prior to launch and received this email shortly after:

Some users are reporting that the emails are being sent out slowly and waiting for 15-20 minutes will suffice, while others are saying that the messages are not being received at all, which means that there’s probably a bigger issue at hand due to the game’s popularity at launch.

Currently, there’s no fix for the verification code email issue other than waiting for it to appear. Hypixel Studios is likely overwhelmed with demand for this, and their systems may be experiencing issues as players attempt to make accounts and purchase the game as the hype builds.

You can join the official Hytale Discord server to post there and let the devs know that you’re having issues, and to also stay tuned for official communications about the game.

The Hi, Doggy quest not only has a funny name, but it’s a rather interesting task to complete in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check.

The Hi, Doggy is a relatively early game quest that you can unlock on day 10. It’s a core campaign quest, so there’s no way of skipping it (unless you’re playing in the Endless mode). This guide will help you figure out how to feed your zombie.

How to start Hi, Doggy quest in Quarantine Zone: The Last Check

The quest begins at the start of day 10 when the major briefs you about what needs to be done. When you’re in the early game, there’s not much you can do with a zombie in Quarantine. However, this quest will introduce you to the Cage in the Laboratory.

The Cage can contain an undead and allow you to study for research. You’ll find the Cage to the right of the main lab tent (from where you can discover new symptoms). Your next task is to feed the zombie. Head straight from the lab gates, and you’ll end up in front of the locked zombie.

How to feed the zombie in Hi, Doggy quest

This task is pretty simple. Go to the Liquidation zone, where you send the infected to be chopped. You’ll find a marked area by the pile of bags. Pick up a body bag, put it on the card, and go back to the laboratory tent. If you can’t pick up the body, chances are that the cart isn’t close enough. Interact with the cart and bring it closer to the body bags.

Park the cart next to the Cage, and interact with the body bag carrying the corpse. Pick it up, and put it in the Cage, and the zombie will start to eat. This will complete the Hi, Doggy quest. Make sure to put the cart in the highlighted zone so that the corpse can be fed to the zombie trapped inside.
